I switched from being a Chartered Accountant to a photographer 10 years ago. Today, I teach you how to build a business that is as profitable as it is soulful.

As Mint and Peach turned 8, I reflected on the most important lessons I've learned, from patience to the power of real connection. In my mentoring, I share this wisdom to help you navigate your own photography journey.

Seven years ago, I quit my CA career to follow my passion. This post tells the story of my journey, the challenges I faced, and the lessons I learned while building my business from the ground up.

This is me, seven years into my journey. I believe in following your gut and putting your heart into your work. I'm here to help you do the same.

Taking the leap of faith to start this business was the best decision I ever made. I want to inspire and guide you to take your own leap, armed with the knowledge and confidence to succeed.

I've built an incredible all-women team, and we are growing and learning together every day. When you join my workshops, you become part of this supportive and inspiring community.

A photo from my journey. Every step, from learning to hold a baby safely to signing my first studio lease, has been a lesson. I share these real-world experiences in my mentoring sessions.

Another member of my amazing team. We believe in collaboration and lifting each other up. My workshops foster a community spirit, not a competitive one.

Had a photoshoot disaster? I break down the common reasons why shoots fail, like wrong timing or lack of experience. My workshops are designed to give you the expertise to avoid these pitfalls.

This client testimonial speaks to the experience I strive to create and teach. Making families feel comfortable and capturing their joy is the ultimate goal, and I'll show you how to achieve that every time.

About My Mentoring Philosophy & Journey

In my mentorship sessions, we don't just talk about shutter speeds or presets. Because I spent years in finance, I teach you the business logic behind a successful studio—how to calculate COGS, structure your pricing, and manage margins so you don't burn out. You get the art, the safety protocols, and the math to keep your studio running for the long haul.
