You want to be able to call yourself a professional photographer with confidence.
You want to start a business with this passion you have.

Yet...
You don’t know why your images aren’t coming out the way you want them to.
You don’t know how to edit in a way that is efficient and consistent.
You don’t know all the steps to actually starting a photography business.
You have about 10 million different questions swirling around in your head. You don’t know where the heck to start, you are feeling overwhelmed, the internet feels so big and confusing… you truly feel as though you are taking one step forward and three steps back every. single. day. 😩🥴

“I have seen what would have taken me years to grow on my own happen in months with Devon's mentorship.”
Loren Gaylor, Galleries by Gaylor | Wedding & Portrait Photographer
My mentee Loren (quoted above & pictured here) was smart and jumped straight into coaching early on in her career as a photographer. She was able to learn so much to fasttrack her to success way earlier than if she hadn’t invested in coaching with me.
ME? I was slow. I thought I could figure it out on my own. It took me years to finally seek out help in a coach or a workshop, prolonging my success as a full time professional photographer.

Then you’re a PERFECT fit for my…
A 3 month long, one on one, individualized offer that is meant to bring you clarity, knowledge, and expertise in the photography & business world.
Book now!
1.1 Private Coaching
is just that... access to me, my skills, my knowledge from 12 years of experience in the photography industry... all at your fingertips.
We spend 2 hours in deep conversation each month together learning everything you want to know. AND you’ll have access to me via Voxer’s voice messaging to shoot me questions at any time during our 3 months together!
THIS will be the timeframe your passion goes from a hobby to a career!
Work Day!
Knowledge
+ knowledge of photography skills to become a professional photographer: shooting in manual, focus, composition, exposure triangle, off camera flash, & more
+ how to have an efficient & consistent workflow post session in your editing software
+ editing knowledge to produce images that portray your brand, style, & art in a professional manner
+ knowledge on how to turn your photography passion into a full blown, thriving business with tips of client management, client experience, invoicing & contracts, website tips, email automations, & more
+ access to my network of industry professionals and the community we’ve built for friendships as well as support in our businesses
You’ll walk away with:
Are you ready?
Once we have chatted and you are ready to book with me, I will then send you an online questionnaire getting to know you, your business, and your goals better. With this information I will curate a customized timeline agenda to keep us organized, on track, and efficient during our time together. No time wasted! The meetings and agenda will be set up to build off on another. If there is a topic or question I do not know the answer to… I will make sure you have access to someone who does, or I will research it and find out for you! These topics on the agenda will be what we talk about during our monthly meetings.
POV: You’re interested in coaching and we schedule our consultation chat to make sure we are a good fit. All redlights are green pointing to let’s go!
let’s break it down
While I am planning out our agenda together, I will also ask you when you are ready to start our time together. We will go ahead and schedule our 3 months of meetings. Each month we will meet either in person or virtually for 2 hours! There will be no fluff conversation here. This is when we get down to business! No time will be wasted by me asking what it is you want to learn, because we already nailed that part down. This will be the time to absorb, learn, take notes, and ask any questions that pop into your head while we are together. At the end of our meeting, I will give you some “homework” and goals to work on until our next time together. This will help you practice and gain more hands-on experience with what we talked about!
Voxer is a voice messaging app that you will download once you book with me. This is where you can shoot me any and all questions, thoughts, ideas, struggles, worries that you might have during our 3 months together. Even if it's 1 am, you can shoot me a Voxer message and ask. I encourage this because I know that frustration of having a question while laying in bed, not asking it right away, then completely forgetting what the question was! There’s a 100% chance I won’t be awake at 1 am, but I will answer the next day. I want you to feel as though you have someone on your side, someone ready and willing to go above and beyond to see you succeed. I’m here to support you in any way I can!

Can’t stop won’t stop - how about I throw in...
Mindset Coaching!
I’ve seen it before… the photographer who is INsanely talented but struggles with imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence.
If this sounds like you, this will be something that will 100% be included in your coaching time as a bonus!
🙌🙌
- Understanding what imposter syndrome is and how we can recognize it to stop it from taking over.
- Learning how to take on social media in a way that inspires you instead of making you feel less than.
- Giving you tools to build confidence in your work so your clients are also confident in you.
- Showing you that you aren’t alone in your struggles and how you can overcome them.
What would this look like?
I realize that not everyone needs or wants mindset coaching and that some might feel it is just fluff.
I myself am a firm believer that MINDSET is a huge pathway to success.
While you can not simply manifest and believe your way to building a thriving business, it does take hard work and hustle, allowing negative thoughts over take your mental state will only lead you down a path to failure.
It is my job, my passion, my goal to see YOU succeed.

I know what you’re thinking…
“Can I even afford a coach?”
You’re still so new, you could learn for free on YouTube, you may not feel like you are “ready” to invest in yourself because… well, what if you fail???
⬇⬇⬇
Let’s switch our thought process here and ask…
“Can I afford NOT to hire a coach?”
➡ Can you afford to fail?
➡ Can you afford to spend months or years trying to figure it out on your own via YouTube?
➡ Can you afford to not have someone to directly ask questions that can give you an exact answer when you need it, like right before a big session you have scheduled?
Many new photographers believe they aren’t ready to invest in their education early on in their new photography career because they haven’t made enough money and they would rather spend what money they do have on new gear.
Which I GET.
I was one of those new photographers once. 🙋♀️
But
what I’ve seen and learned over the years is…
That MANY new photographers spend that money on gear that isn’t necessarily what they need and if they had a coach to help guide them on what gear to get… they wouldn’t have wasted money.
Plus
The ROI (return on investment) when hiring a coach is going to be LIFE CHANGING when you start implementing everything you have learned during our time together.
Does this sound like you??
You can’t afford a lifestyle you want right now due to inflation. So then you also can’t afford coaching.

“Devon has helped me build my business from the ground up.
I was literally a brand new, confused, struggling photographer wanna-be when I met you, but you have helped me build community and build confidence. She’s helped me with my editing flow, with posing, with lighting, all of which in turn has helped my work improve and helped me build a clientele and ultimately have a full-time career as a photographer.”

“Working with you is fun and it's easy!
I don't feel like there are any stupid questions. I feel like I can ask you anything. You're super open and giving with information. I don't feel like you purposely hold back so that I'll schedule another one. You literally will give all of your time and info into that session!”

“Devon is such an amazing mentor! I owe my whole successful photography business to her!
What started as a dream for me soon became a reality with her encouragement and I literally began my photography career by learning everything she could teach me. I learned how to edit photos, book weddings and sessions, and the importance of networking and social media. She taught me how to carry myself as a professional and guide a wedding day to make it flow smoothly while also accomplishing all the photography goals.
The D|A 3 Month Guarantee
If you are anything like me… making a big purchase is hard.
I get it.
And that’s why I want you to feel completely confident in hitting that inquiry button to start the process.
I know for a FACT that within 3 months of us working together you will have all the knowledge (+ some) you will need to get your photography business up and running.
That I can guarantee!
But IF for whatever reason you end our 3 months together still feeling confused, still struggling, or as though you don’t have all the info you need to be successful…
I’ll throw in an additional month for free at the tail end to get you where you need to be!
I got your back. 😉
When I bought my first camera and decided to dive head first into building my first business… I had two small children (ages 2 & 4 at the time), I had dropped out of college, and had only ever worked as a waitress. I had no clue what I was doing, but by golly I was determined to figure it out!
Over the years I faced many personal challenges that I let keep me from growing as fast as I wanted to. Eventually I realized I couldn’t do it all on my own. I started investing in business workshops, mentorships, networking events, and more. This 100% changed the trajectory of my business, my life, and my career.
Now I’m helping new aspiring photographers grow their photography businesses A LOT faster and more efficiently than I did by teaching them everything I’ve ever learned throughout my own personal journey!
I started my own photography business because I wanted to own my time, be my own boss, and do something I loved as a career.
Hi, friend - I’m Devon!
Are you ready to become the professional photographer, boss, and creative you’ve been dreaming of ???
Nope. I’m not going to sit here and say this is for everyone.
But if ...
+ You are passionate about photography and truly love being creative behind the camera but are struggling with creating art you are proud of.
+ You are ready to take the leap into entrepreneurship and want to take your photography hobby to the next level of professional photography.
+ You are eager to learn and even more eager to implement! I can teach you all the things, but if you don’t take the knowledge and implement it, growth will be very difficult.
+ You aren’t afraid to ask questions and put yourself out there. If you don’t ask, you’ll never get the help you need to learn the knowledge necessary.
Let's get you on the road to success today!
The beauty of my 1.1 Private Coaching is that the topics are 100% customizable to what YOU need! Some examples are: exposure triangle, posing, editing, client management, email automations, post processing workflow, focus, client experience, invoicing, contracts, getting legal as a business, marketing yourself, networking, and more!

Due to the nature of coaching, time & knowledge, no refunds are offered. If you decide after starting our 3 months together that this isn’t working for you, a written email asking to terminate the remainder of our time together will be required at least 2 weeks prior to our next meeting. Any payments made before then will not be refunded but you will not be required to pay any outstanding balances.
The D|A 3 Month Guarantee
If you end our 3 months together and you still are not confident you have learned everything you asked me in the beginning of our time together, you can add on one free additional month of coaching.

100%. This coaching isn’t niche specific, but we can talk about how to grow in a specific niche you might be interested in. We can also talk about how you can try different types of photography to see which you like best. In fact… I encourage this! You’ll never know if you love wedding photography unless you try it!

With my 1.1 Private Coaching you will be able to access me at ANY time during our 3 months together via Voxer. (a voice messaging/walkie-talkie app you will download) Our meetings will be planned out with information you asked in the beginning of the process via an online questionnaire.
And since I KNOW new questions will arise between our meetings, I want you to be able to ask them before you forget! I will respond to Voxer messages in a timely manner, between meetings and business hours. My family time is very important, so if you message me while I’m biking with my son or reading with my daughter, I’ll be back to you when I’m free!

Pricing for private coaching is a total of $887 (payment plans available). During our time together I will suggest different softwares, programs, platforms you may decide to start using. This would be at your own discretion based on what you can afford and what works best for you.
There are subscriptions and different tools you may need to start investing in during our time together if you haven’t already. These are parts of running a business and will be calculated into your business expenses as well as your pricing, which we can dive into and work on together!

You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t already dreaming of starting your own photography business.
(and you definitely wouldn’t have made it this far down the page!)
And, Yup.
You COULD get there by figuring out all the things on your own (maybe).
But it’d mean way more trial & error that will only prolong your success. You may just find yourself winging it and never making any profit.
Leading to always working from a place of miserable hustle.
So really
Investing in my 1.1 Private Coaching is THE best way
to fast track your successful, thriving business.
No more trial and error. I can tell you exactly what works.
No more crying because you feel all alone, I’ll be just a voice message away.
Your dreams are waiting.
Your passion is calling.
I’m sold!
Let’s start a Photography Business!
No more trying to figure out how the heck to gain clients, run the business side, or edit efficiently… we can nail all those topics down & more!
It’s time to stop putting them on the back burner and believe in yourself!
