You could be ready for mentoring if:

you're drawn to

sessions at home but feel like it's a huge pivot and your clients would never go for it. 

You're OVERWHELMED BY

a huge influx of clients in one season (cough, fall) but need your sanity back with better pacing throughout the year

You're NOT SURE HOW TO

build a business that's sustainable and life-giving. You're on track to burnout (or in the thick of it) instead.

You're Confused about

how to reach clients who you really connect with - you're over social media and the quick content grind, but aren't sure how to market without it)

align my workflow with my values, remove unneeded parts of my client experience, and dial in my offerings. I'm excited about gaining the confidence to significantly raise my prices. Since doing so, I've already booked one family session and have leads for two more creative branding sessions! I have much more clarity on the unique value  I offer my clients, and I have a clear marketing focus for each quarter of the next year.

Leah's bedside manner as a mentor is perfect! She blends honest feedback with a warm and encouraging presence. She's incredibly insightful and helped me identify blind spots in my business and mindset that were holding me back.

I loved that in our mentoring time, we tackled everything from workflow, creative inspiration, client experience, pricing, website design, portfolio review, and marketing. I needed a high level audit of my whole business to make sure I was moving in a healthy, sustainable direction, and that's exactly what I got from my time with Leah.
