Take your boudoir photography skills to the next level with a personalized mentorship session with me! Whether you’re looking to refine your technical skills, master the art of boudoir posing, or boost your business and marketing strategies, these one-on-one sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.

Just like my signature photo sessions, each mentorship is custom-designed to focus on the specific topics you want to explore. Whether it’s lighting techniques, client interaction, editing, or building your brand, I will create a session that addresses your questions and challenges directly.

Each session is 2 hours and costs $350.

I want to make sure I’m a good fit to address your needs and I want you to be confident that you want to learn with me, so use the link below to schedule a free, no obligation consult so that we can decide if we are right for each other.

Join me at Shutterfest to elevate your boudoir skills.

I’ll walk you through the foundational poses that define my signature “Shirts and Sheets” boudoir sessions. You’ll learn six base poses that you can use as the foundation for any session. I’ll demonstrate each pose and then you’ll have the chance to work directly with models to practice and perfect these poses, ensuring you leave the class with new skills ready to be applied in your own sessions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the industry’s leading voices and take your boudoir sessions to the next level!

Set your boudoir photography business up for success with my comprehensive Boudoir Buying Guide. Curated with the needs of boudoir photographers in mind, this guide takes the guesswork out of choosing the right tools and props to elevate your sessions.

These are all items that I actually use in my Boudoir Photography business. I will never recommend something that I have not personally used. If an item is no longer available for purchase, I may recommend a comparable item but will note that in the description.
