My Dad has always told me the best thing we can do is to “invest in yourself,” and I believe he’s right. Over the past 6+ years I have been really inspired to share what I have learned in my photography business journey and help others grow in their skill and confidence! From getting my first DSLR in high school to my Photo Imaging Diploma at Langara College in 2011, to shooting hundreds of weddings and portraits, to navigating social media in a healthy way and finding my own style – I have a lot to share.
I would love to help you develop your skills with a camera, find your own style, attract the clients you want and more by teaching you the little tips & tricks that have helped me. My goal is to simplify everything as best as I can for you to make it easy to learn.
I understand that everyone is going to be at a different place in their photography journey and because of that each mentor session is uniquely tailored specifically to you and what you want to learn. You will receive a pdf for each session we do, but I do recommend taking notes and always having your camera ready in case we want to test something out. 🙂
My hope is that after our time together you will have the tools and understanding to create better images, book clients and gain more confidence in yourself and clarity in your business. I am very excited to help you and can’t wait to watch your work and business grow!
“I’ve been blessed to have been mentored by Marie for over 5 years now. I must start by saying that Marie is a fantastic mentor and equally so, a friend, business owner and role model. Marie customized a 10 session program to teach me the basics of photography and together we’ve gone from that first session on camera settings to deciding on photography being a career option for myself, and then all the way to starting up my own website and a foundation for my business.
Marie has had a sincere dedication to me as a mentee and has been willing to open up about the secrets to her successes and has been honest about hardships along the way. Marie is an honest business owner and wedding vendor. She goes above and beyond for each and every client. Marie holds that same standard of professionalism and value for each of her mentees as well. Marie’s demonstration in her client relationships has taught me to work towards emulating that same level of character in my own business. I’ve been blessed with such a long term experience being mentored by this wonderful woman and I continue to look to her as an example of a dedicated photographer and lifelong friend.”
