marketing isn't hard or scary

Most Saturdays, I photograph weddings. The rest of the time you can find me balancing all the photography back-end stuff, coaching for photographers, and being a mom. As a wife and mama, it was important to me to find balance between having a thriving business and living the life I truly wanted. For me, this looks like being present and spending a ton with my family while still bringing in a sustainable income for my family (& more!).

I have always been a community over competition type of gal. I am passionate about helping other photographers create and scale their own businesses in a way that fills you with joy.

Before I was a photographer, I worked in sales for Marriott. Through photography, I found my love of marketing. I could talk about marketing ALL.DAY.LONG. I am also incredibly passiontate about talking business and working with other photographers to build an entire community of successful businesses.
