From Vision to Strategy:
Coaching That Moves You Forward
Together, we might:
Photography with
Heart Coaching
* Refine your vision and map out the next steps
* Build confidence in your value as a photographer
* Explore pricing that feels both profitable and authentic
* Brainstorm hands-on marketing ideas that come from the heart
* Elevate your client experience so every client feels like gold
šTransition from digital files to in-person
sales with step-by-step support.
If any of these sound like you, youāre not alone. Every photographer reaches a point where they want more...more clarity, more confidence, more consistency, and more joy in their business.
When I was building my own six-figure studio, I desperately wished I had someone to walk alongside me. Instead, I pieced it together on my own and while I made it work, I know now how much faster, easier and less lonely it could have been with a mentor in my corner.
Thatās why I created these coaching calls. Because letās be honest...being a photographer can feel isolating. Your friends and family may not understand the weight of running a business, the late-night worries or the constant pressure of making it all work. I do.
Iāll be your biggest cheerleader. My job is to guide, encourage, and give you the strategies that help you shine so you can build a business that not only supports your life, but lights you up.
You donāt have to do this alone. These coaching calls give you the roadmap, tools, and support to finally move forward with confidence.
āIād love to sell albums or wall art, but I donāt even know where to begin.ā
āIād love to add a new genre, like tween empowerment sessions, branding or boudoir, but I donāt know how to launch it.ā
āI wish I had a clear plan for the future, instead of just winging it season to season.ā
āIām tired of the digital-only grind and want to confidently sell products my clients will treasure.ā
āI want to be known in my community as the photographer who truly cares, but how do I make that happen?ā
āI feel like Iām ready for a transition, but Iām not sure what the next step should be.ā

How It Works
Iāve spent the past 27 years running a full-time, award-winning studioā¦ building it into a six-figure business that has supported my family and impacted my community.
Over the years, Iāve photographed everything from weddings, families, high school seniors, and tweens to branding and boudoir. Iāve learned what it really takes to build a sustainable business in a competitive industry.
Along the way, Iāve:
Created a thriving tween photography niche that empowers kids and sets my studio apart
Designed systems for pricing, in-person sales, and client experience that keep my studio consistently profitable
Partnered with local businesses and non-profits, blending community impact with financial growth
Founded a kindness movement that reflects my belief in building a business ā and a life ā rooted in purpose
Gained recognition locally and nationally from news outlets and magazines to podcasts and awards, proving that getting your work noticed is possible without a PR team (and yes, I can help you find creative ways to get your name out there, too!)
Why Work With Me
Now, Iām here so you donāt have to spin your wheels, reinvent the wheel, or do it all alone.
Iāll guide you with encouragement and proven strategies, so you can move forward faster,
with less stress and finally see real momentum in your business.

"Working with Debbie has been an absolute game-changer for both my
photography business and my confidence as an artist. Sheās guided me step by step through the client experience from teaching me how to create emotional info videos for consultations, how to give the highest level of customer service to helping me refine my wording and entire process for View & Order appointments.
Sheās gone above and beyond by pointing me toward resources to help me run my business with intention and simplicity. She has given me the tools (and belief) to confidently charge what my work is truly worth.
One of the biggest breakthroughs has been in marketing. With her support,
I now have 30, 60, and 90 day social media plans in place, which has saved
me from the constant stress of scrambling and has given me so much clarity.
Sheās also encouraged me to reflect on each project so I can keep improving and do something better the next time.
But what really sets her apart is how much she cares. She pairs practical business strategies with genuine encouragement that makes you believe in yourself again.
I cannot recommend Debbie enough to any photographer whoās ready to elevate their business."
"Debbieās coaching completely transformed both my business and my confidence as an artist."
