The year was 2017...I was waking up at 5:00 every morning to drive to a job I dreaded. Each day I would leave the classroom with a pile of English essays in my bag and the weight of the next day looming over me. When it came time to start the next school year, I knew something had to give...
So I jumped ship and went after my dream of starting my own photography business. I had little direction and even less knowledge of how to actually run a business...or even use a camera. I tell you this not to shake your confidence in me as an instructor, but rather to bolster your confidence in me as an instructor. I started from the same point as many of you.
If you're searching for a way to start your business from scratch, I am the one that's going to help you do it because I have been in your shoes! From choosing a business structure to building a personal brand, I'll be with you every step of the way!

"I'm still referencing TPF when questions or concerns come up within my business."
I started working through The Photography Framework when I was a little over two years into my business. I wasn't confident in the steps I'd taken, I needed guidance regarding my gear, and I was getting burnt out. It's been a year and I'm still referencing TPF when questions or concerns come up within my business!
