Do you dream of running your own business, booking up your schedule, and having that extra income in your pocket? Do you want to capture beautiful storytelling images and travel to capture love stories? Do you wish you could form thriving relationships with your clients? It's all right here at your fingertips.
What if I told you that I've been there, I've walked in your shoes? With a cheap $400 hand-me-down camera and a dream, I dove headfirst into the world of photography, teaching myself everything I know through hard mistakes and listening to others. I've done it the hard way - so you don't have to. I went from 1 booking a year to 35 weddings and 100+ portrait sessions a year. I'm here to teach you how to go from stressed out and under-booked to thriving & serving your dream clients.
You don't have to do it alone
it's time you invest in yourself
challenges you might be facing:
problem No. 1
You're a beginner and don't know where to get started. There's so much info out there, but what can you believe and what will actually work?
problem No. 2
Your posing is awkward. It feels stiff, unnatural and you're struggling to find real emotion in your sessions.
problem No. 3
You're struggling to price yourself. You want to work less but make more, but feel like the market is oversaturated, and you aren't getting yourself out there.
what if I told you that you could change all of that?

Holly Michaels
I've been in the industry for a long time. After a decade of learning, making mistakes and learning the hard way, I'm here to teach you so you don't have to do what I did; spending nights googling late into the night to learn how to use a camera.
I'll teach you everything from the basics, to website SEO, blogging, Pinterest, client management and more. I'm an open book.
If you're here to learn, welcome. I can't wait to work alongside you!

"I learned so much"
In only half an hour, I learned what would've taken me weeks searching YouTube for answers for. Holly was direct, straight to the point and taught me so much!

"A wealth of knowledge"
Holly should be teaching her own course... the knowledge she shared with me gave me the confidence to boost my prices, and rework some of my systems. I felt confident in editing and my lighting choices after our mentorship. Well worth it!
