Photography Coaching (Landscape & Travel Photography)
If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably asking yourself that big question:
Is it possible to make a full-time living from landscape and travel photography?
Yes! You can have the rewarding photography career and lifestyle you dream of, travel the world, and work on your own schedule...but it takes planning. Strategic planning, commitment and most importantly: patience. A lot of it!
The good news is, you’re not the first to take that leap. Almost 10 years ago, I began down my own path toward photography as a full-time endeavor. It’s been an incredible journey, with plenty of bumps along the way. Worth it? Undeniably. But there are many things I wish I’d known when I was starting out, and even a couple of months ago...so much is changing! I’m here to pass along what I’ve learned.
No closely-guarded secrets to success here- my philosophy is all about sharing knowledge. By working together, we teach, challenge, and inspire one another...elevating the entire industry in the process!

My key focus areas
I can help you identify a range of potential income sources for landscape and travel photographers, both active and “passive”. My background in online marketing and web design (I designed this website myself) have been very advantageous to my business, and put me in a good position to guide you as you begin your self-promotion efforts. I can help you understand the different platforms and tools available and how to create a client-friendly website. I also offer hands-on instruction in post-production with Adobe Lightroom and general workflow improvements.
