✔️ Transform your body of work into the kind of stunning feed you admire
✔️ Become your own moodboard as your portfolio and Instagram level up
✔️ Own a clear, creative roadmap — yours forever, to grow at your own pace
🎯 The photographer you dream of being is on the other side of this roadmap.

I've been the girl struggling to figure out
how to create what I envisioned...
"You really have an eye for this" people used to tell me, yet I looked around and everyone was a better photographer than I was, and I was nowhere near my full potential.
So I saved all my money to afford my first REAL camera, knowing my photos would finally look amazing. But once I bought it, the disappointment was real. I spent an entire year taking photos of everything, everyone, everywhere, and my style was not getting any better.
I was struggling with my camera, feeling frustrated with the gap between my vision and my photos. I was looking at other photographers and wishing my own pictures could look just as amazing. It took me actually knowing what to learn, to start seeing a real change.
So if you're a photography enthusiast who's made the leap to a new camera but still finds yourself stuck in auto mode, it's time to take control of your photography journey and turn your dreams into reality, and I'm going to make sure the journey for you is faster, easier, and way more fun...
What if your photos could look like this?
I know you are probably thinking...
"I'm not good with the tech stuff. I tried learning online and the terms and concepts are too confusing."
"I'm too old to learn new things and I'm not really a creative person."
"There are no new ideas, and too many photographers are already better than me."
"I take better photos with my phone because my camera is not good enough."
"I already spent so much on equipment I don't use, why keep investing?"
And most importantly:
"What if I'm just simply not good at it?"
The truth is: You can ABSOLUTELY be amazing at it!
Photography is a skillset that anyone can learn, and creativity exists within you because you are unique! You just need some help finding your style and developing your skills!
I am going to teach you the exact skills I learned in photography school (that I paid $12,000 for), plus the things I learned from 15 years behind the lens, and working as a professional all over the globe.
