HEY - I'm Ashlee, and welcome to 1:1 personalized mentoring with a real human.
NO B.S.
Starting a photography business can feel overwhelming. Gear, taxes, websites, marketing, and a million opinions in Facebook groups can be stressful. It’s a lot to piece together alone.
That’s where I come in. With a clear roadmap and guidance, we’ll simplify your workflow, define your style, and build a standout client experience. No more guessing, just growth.
let's turn your passion
into a thriving businesss
DO THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
DO THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
BECAUSE IF SO, THIS MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU.
You get inquiries, but you have no idea how to turn them into bookings.
Posing feels awkward, and you second-guess yourself at every shoot.
You love photography but feel lost on the business side of things.
You know how to use your camera and flash, but haven't nailed it.
You're not confident in your website or social media presence.
You're tired of piecing together advice from random Facebook groups
“Now I feel confident going to every shoot.”
I had taken a photography class in college and knew some basics, but under Ashlee's guidance I learned SO much about lighting, posing, and framing. She even taught me how to use flash which was completely new to me. Now I feel confident going to every shoot.

I WAS THERE ONCE, TOO
When I first started dreaming of owning a photography business, it felt impossible. I struggled with learning the intricate details of editing, which gear to invest in, and how to pose clients confidently. One college degree in photography and over a decade later, I'm eager to help those in the same boat I once was.
but you don't have to do it alone like i did.
After seeing the same questions asked in photography Facebook groups over and over, I had a realization. There's a need for a mentor program that's not just for those wanting to scale, but for those wanting to START.

ONE ON ONE MENTORSHIPS
This mentorship is designed specifically for that niche group: the photographers who have the passion but not yet the experience. It's not about scaling a six-figure business or building a team, it's about building a strong foundation. It's for the ones asking, "How do I even start?"

Here's thE INVESTMENT.
How to actually use your gear, how to edit confidently, how to talk to clients at session, and how to get consistent inquiries. That’s what this mentorship is for: real, honest help from one photographer to another.
You’re more capable than you know. But if you’re anything like me when I started, you just want someone to walk you through the parts that no one talks about.
"SAVANNAH" PRESET
FREEBIE
a little something for you
INCLUDED IN ALL MENTORSHIPS.
After a decade of trying to find the perfect preset, I ended up creating my own! This preset creates a base for you that includes vibrant greens, clean whites, and creamy skin tones. A classic look for your photos that's inspired by film and stands the test of time.

NO MORE PROCRASTINATION.
Heyyy
I'm ASHLEE, your new
business bestie.
With over a decade of experience and college level photography education, I've been able to build a brand that attracts ideal clients, has a clear philosophy, and runs smoothly on the backend. Now, it's your turn. I can't wait to meet you and build something together.
more about me
I started off small.
I started with my stepdad’s old camera, a dream, and a lot of determination. I didn’t come from money or have a leg up, I just poured everything into learning, working three jobs, going to school, and slowly building a business from the ground up.
Now, I’m a full-time photographer with an associate team, six-figure years, and clients flying me across the world to capture their stories. But the thing I want you to know? You don’t need to have it all figured out right away. You just need someone to walk beside you those first few years.
That’s why I created this mentorship! To help you build strong foundations, find confidence in your work, and grow as a photographer with a business you can feel proud of.
This is for you if:
YOU'RE IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF starting but you're unsure what to do next
you're not 100% confident in what gear to buy, shooting on manual, or using flash
you don't "get" blogging, pinterest, reels, or how branding works
you already understand how to run a business, front and back end
you know your stuff when it comes to camera gear, settings, and flashes
It's probably not for you if...
you're already ranking with seo and have a strong online presence
What’s the difference between the one-day mentorship and the 6-week coaching?
One-Day Mentorship (In-person): A full day of learning, shooting, and hands-on guidance. Perfect if you want a big boost fast and need immediate, in-person feedback.
6-Week Coaching (Zoom): Weekly 1:1 calls where we work through a custom plan, dive into your questions, and build momentum over time. This option includes ongoing support and accountability in between sessions.
WHAT ARE SOME MENTORSHIP TOPICS?
You're allowed to ask anything you'd like, but here's some examples of common mentorship topics:
- Finding Your Niche & Defining Your Style
-Website & Social Media Review
-Shooting & Posing Techniques
-Shoot Guidance + Hands-On Training (optional for in-person)
-Workflow, Systems, & Organization
-Goal Setting + Vision Planning
-Booking Real Clients
-Gear, Flash & Equipment Guidance
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This mentorship is for photographers in their first few years. For those who fell in love with their camera but feel unsure about what comes next. Whether you're getting a few inquiries or none at all, struggling with posing, client experience, or just figuring out the tech side of things, I’ve got you.
If you’re constantly Googling or asking Facebook groups how to edit, export, or use your gear, you’re in the right place. With a degree in digital photography and a decade of experience, I’ll help you build a workflow that finally makes sense, from shutter click to image delivery.
Do I need to already be booking clients?
Not at all. Whether you’ve shot zero sessions or a hundred, this mentorship is about meeting you where you are and helping you build confidence, structure, and momentum.
How do I know if I’m ready for this?
If you’ve been asking questions in Facebook groups, Googling "How to use my flash", watching endless YouTube videos, or feeling stuck between passion and professionalism, you’re ready! You don’t need to have it all figured out. That’s what I’m here for.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
It’s not about scaling a six-figure studio; it’s about building a solid foundation and finally getting answers to the questions you’re too nervous to ask.
From “How do I use flash?” to “What should I charge?” and “Why do my photos look underexposed?”—nothing is too small or silly here. Think of this as your safe space to learn the real stuff from a photographer who is just passionate about sharing information!
I’m not local. Can I still do this?
Yes! The 6-week coaching is 100% virtual and open to photographers everywhere. (And if you ever find yourself in Savannah… the in-person option is always here waiting!)
What happens after the mentorship ends?
You’ll leave with a custom plan and action steps designed just for you. Want to keep going? You’ll have access to discounted add-on sessions for continued support.
Will I have support between sessions?
Definitely. You’ll have access to me via email in between calls for questions, check-ins, and encouragement.
