A FUN-FILLED AND FULLY-TAILORED PHOTOGRAPHY MENTORSHIP FOR BUSINESS OWNERS SEEKING TO BLEND ART AND STRATEGY TO BUILD A THRIVING BRAND.
HOLA,
ALOHA,
AND HELLO!
You’ve already done one of the bravest things I can imagine—you started a business all on your own! You took a hobby you love and decided to share it with the world. Let’s not pretend that isn’t crazy impressive! Even when things feel overwhelming, you’re bold, determined, and taking on the world! Now, I’d love to help you take on anything that might be holding you back. Let’s make your business into something that really pops! Something that’s built on a firm foundation guaranteed to last. Something your ideal clients will never, ever forget.
With four years of experience in the wedding photography industry and a decade running other businesses along the way, I’ve gathered a time-tested business owner’s tool kit. And I’d love to share it with you—whether you’re a photographer yourself or a creative in another industry! Let’s get our hands dirty and dig into every bit of your business—perfecting your editing style, refining a client experience, building packages, and more! Let’s take your business to the next level together.
“LESLIE HELPED ME PUT MY DUCKS IN A ROW.”
“As someone who has been doing photography for five years and finally wanted to branch out into my own company, I had so many questions on how to price my packages, how to establish myself in the social media world, and how to narrow down my ideal clients. Leslie customizes your mentorship session…and helps you navigate towards your goals. She is relatable, encouraging, and a phenomenal photographer!”

CLIENT LOVE
“It was so encouraging to have a mentorship call with Leslie! She keeps it real and keeps it fun. She does her very best to explain systems and techniques, and is open to answer most photography questions, whether that be the business side of things or the art itself! I’m very thankful for how organized she was and how much work she put in beforehand; like making a detailed questionnaire for me to fill out, and coming prepared to the call with notes on every topic we planned to go over. Thank you Leslie!”
