Mentoring sessions

I offer a limited number of one-on-one mentoring sessions for fellow photographers or small business owners looking to improve their workflows, organisation, efficiencies and purpose.

For photographers, it could be that you’re looking to start or improve your commercial photography business. For other small business owners, I can help set you up with all things admin, workflow, project management and purpose. I live for organisation and processes, this is my happy place!

Sessions can be tailored to suit your requirements, with you completely leading the direction of what you want to learn. Sessions can be two or four hours (or more upon request), and can be virtual or in person (in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria).

A list of links, tips and summary of what we cover will be sent via email after the session.
