Mentoring for photographers
take your business to the next level
You love the creative side of photography,
but the business details? Not so much…
Do you:
hate numbers and spreadsheets
struggle to find the right clients
wish your images had a little more wow-factor
get frustrated that your business isn’t growing faster
daydream about making your photography business a full-time reality
feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start
If one or more of these sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place. You picked up a camera for a reason, fell in love with creating imagery, and dream about turning that passion into a sustainable business. But sadly, the majority of photography businesses (up to 85% according to a recent study) fail within the first two years. Why? A photography business requires business know-how and tenacity in addition to photography skills. But here’s the good news: taking your business to the next level isn’t rocket science, and I can help!
What do you need help with?

Digging into the numbers and breaking down huge projects into manageable tasks are my specialty!
Hi, I’m Megan!
Engineer turned entrepreneur.
Dog mom, girl mom, and girl boss.
I know what it feels like to sit in a cubicle and daydream of being your own boss. After finally taking the leap, I built a multi six figure portrait business and want to help you do the same!
“I was having difficulty getting my average sale up to the level I need to earn a living with photography. Megan shared her advice, and after implementing one small change to my pricing, my next three clients each purchased a piece of wall art AND a 12x12 album!!! This increased my average sale by over $1000!!! Advice from Megan will definitely transfer to your bottom line and more!!”
“I reached out to Megan when I was having trouble with pricing. I found her to be so giving with recommendations and ideas for my business. Her open book demeanor and genuine care was refreshing. It’s a whole new level of confidence once you are finally priced properly for your work. If you have the opportunity to work with Megan on your business and marketing needs, I would jump at the chance!”
“Working with Megan has been pure gold. She knows her numbers and willingly shared many ways to track sales, expenses, and results from promotions. I finally received the help I needed to run my business in a way that allows me to analyze the true success of any transaction or promotion based on the analytics. Thank you Megan!”
Up your business game!
Whether you just have a quick question, want to brainstorm a specific problem, or need more in-depth coaching and someone to hold you accountable, we’ll personalize a mentoring program to best fit your needs.
