An 8-week business mastermind
The CollectiveLive
8 weeks. 6 photographers. A mastermind for established family photographers who are DONE wondering where next month's bookings are coming from and ready to build a business where their calendar is filling up 6-12 months in advance, their pricing actually supports their income goals, and they're no longer relying on mini sessions and flash sales to hit their numbers.

Is this you?
You've spent years becoming an amazing photographer. So why does running the actual business still feel so damn hard?
You've been shooting for years. You have a portfolio you're proud of. Clients book you. People tell you your work is beautiful.
But your business doesn't reflect any of that.
- •You're booking clients… but not making a predictable income where you know exactly what you'll be making each month and paying yourself consistently.
- •You're working weekends you didn't want to work.
- •You're second guessing your pricing every time someone inquires and then disappears or says you're out of their budget.
- •You open mini sessions every time things feel slow, then wonder why everyone waits for the cheaper option.
- •You panic post when your calendar isn't full, then disappear when you're too busy shooting and editing to keep up with marketing your business.
- •You overexplain your pricing in inquiry replies and still get ghosted.
- •You've downloaded the pricing calculators, raised your prices, then second guessed yourself the minute someone says they booked someone else.
And every fall, you work your ass off trying to make up for the slower months, only to find yourself editing late into the night, avoiding your inbox, and dreading the back-to-back sessions you agreed to... missing all of your own family fun.
And somehow, even when your calendar says FULL, your bank account absolutely does NOT.
Here's what's actually going on
You don't have a photography problem.You have a business problem.
You spent years learning how to create beautiful images, build a portfolio, and attract paying clients.
But nobody ever taught you how to work backward from the money you want to make, what you actually need to charge, how many sessions you need on your calendar, and how to get them booked months before you need the money.
So you're making decisions based on whatever is happening in your business that week.
And you're left with a business that sure is bringing in money, but has no real plan for how it's supposed to make that money consistently.
What's actually keeping you stuck
It isn't effort. You've tried plenty.
Every one of these can buy you a better month. None of them change how your business is built.
What you've tried
- More mini sessions
- Flash sales
- More marketing
- Opening more dates
- Raising prices without knowing the numbers
- Buying another course
- Trying to post more
- Working longer hours
Why it hasn't worked
These tactics treat the symptom of a slow month. They don't tell you what you need to charge, how many sessions you actually need, or how to fill a calendar before the money gets tight. So the same problem comes back every season... just later in the year.
The missing piece
A business designed around the income, the calendar, and the life you actually want.
That's what we're fixing inside The Collective.
Booked Method™
This isn't another content calendar.
It isn't another pricing calculator to download and second guess. And no, this isn't a “charge your worth and just post more” course... because that's all bullshit and we all know it. Inside, we’ll use my Booked Method™ to work backward from the money you want your photography business to make and build the exact calendar that gets you there, what you need to charge, what you need to sell, how many sessions you actually need to book, and how far in advance those bookings need to happen.
Then we’ll build the positioning, marketing, and booking strategy that creates demand for those sessions months before you need the revenue from them.
So instead of getting to a new month (or a new year) and waiting to see if enough inquiries come in to hit your numbers...you already know what needs to sell, when it needs to sell, and what you’re doing to fill your calendar ahead of time.
- 01
Build
A pricing and capacity strategy that actually supports your income goals... so you're not charging what you hope they'll pay and cleaning up the “I just worked 7 hours for $4” mess afterward. When you have this in place, you'll finally start to see a profit.
- 02
Become the obvious choice
Positioning that makes people want YOU specifically, not just someone with a pretty portfolio. So by the time they inquire they're not shopping around comparing photographers and deciding if you're “worth” your price. They already know they want to hire you.
- 03
Demand
Marketing that makes people want a session with you months before they're ready to book so when you open dates, you already have people waiting for them instead of trying to create demand after you realize your calendar is empty.
- 04
Conversion
An inquiry process that makes it easy for the right people to go from “I'm interested” to “where do I pay?” without the endless back-and-forth, overexplaining your pricing, or watching another dream inquiry disappear after you send the investment.
- 05
Client experience
A client experience that makes people want to book with you again AND tell everyone they know about you so every session has the potential to create your next booking instead of you constantly needing to find brand-new people to fill your calendar.
The goal? A calendar that fills itself out on purpose... not one you're patching together with mini sessions and a prayer.
Imagine instead
In 8 weeks, you could know exactly what to charge, how many sessions you need to book, and how to proactively fill your calendar 6–12 months in advance.
Right now
- Guessing at pricing
- Reactive bookings
- Feast-or-famine calendar
- Constant marketing
- Late-night editing
- Unclear numbers
- Decisions based on today's problem
Eight weeks of focused work later
- You raise your prices and clients say yes without negotiating a discount.
- You stop relying on mini sessions and discounts to fill the gaps in your income.
- Your calendar books out months in advance, on purpose, not by panic.
- You know exactly what to post to bring in consistent inquiries.
- You have bookings coming in while you're baking bread with the kids and off your phone.
- You work a schedule you designed, not one your clients dictated for you.
- You pay yourself consistently... even in “slow season.” You build savings.
And when something inevitably doesn't go the way you planned? You're not spiraling or ChatGPT-ing a new strategy at midnight. You know your numbers. You know your process. You know how to fix it.That's the version of YOUR business we're building inside The Collective.
These are the outcomes participants work toward inside the 8 weeks... not guarantees.
Eight weeks of focused business work

“October ended up being a $10k month for me AFTER you told me to not panic offer fall minis 😂❤️”
Why me?
I've been running a full-time photography business for almost 20 years. Not ran. Running. Right now. Today.
I didn't leave photography to go teach photography. I'm in the same trenches you are... the same market, the same client conversations, the same pricing decisions, the same AI takeover... while helping other photographers build businesses that are profitable and sustainable.
Everything I teach you, I'm still doing myself. No theory. No outdated strategies. Just what's actually working right now.
If you're a family photographer who's done figuring this out alone, and you're ready to book out, get paid what your time is worth, and build a schedule you actually designed… I want to see YOU inside The Collective.
