Run a successful photography business

I know how overwhelming it can feel when starting your photography business. Finding clients, making them comfortable in front of the camera, and running a sucessful business all seemed a little intimidating at first. However, after almost a decade of experience, I have gained valuable insights and tips that I can’t wait to share with you. My mentoring sessions are tailored to your needs, regardless of whether you’re just starting out or need encouragement to get back on track. Continually investing in your own growth as a photographer and business person is something I truly believe in.

Why Mentoring?

  • Advice

Working with Sarah has been amazing. She had so many valuable and important points to share, I could have listened and asked questions for an entire day. I needed help with marketing strategies and branding and I learned so much! If you get the chance to grab a mentoring spot with her, do it! You won't regret any investment you are making in yourself with her.

 Dreamers Collection Preset Bundle

The Dreamers Collection Pack is a versatile compilation of my favorite editing tools I use all the time. The included presets are a mix of mostly warm and vibrant tones, covering a diverse range of styles ranging from crisp and clean to grainy vintage vibes. It's important to note that these presets are not a one-click solution for every photo and may require adjustments to exposure, shadows, and white balance to match your vision. Paired with helpful brushes for local adjustments, I hope this collection will help to streamline your workflow. To fine-tune and perfect your images, the all-in-one Awakening Photoshop action is an invaluable tool I use on every single image to dial in any last finishes.

  • 6 Dreamers Color Presets (XMP files)

  • 1 Dreamers Monochrome Preset (XMP file)

  • Adjustment Brushes (XMP files)

  • Awakening Photoshop Action Set (ATN files)

System / Program Requirements:

  • LR Classic CC (v7.5+)

  • Adobe Photoshop ACR (v10.5+)

  • Delivered through .zip folder download
