MEET Patty
Your Mentor, friend, and Fellow Photographer
I've Been Where You Are
I started my photography business in 2020 with zero knowledge on business but a huge passion for photography. Sound familiar? From the beginning, I was able to book up my calendar year after year but the only problem was, I did not know a thing about how to actually run & grow a business.
In October 2022, I transitioned from a promising career as a structural engineer to pursue this photography business of mine full-time. This bold leap required a complete overhaul of my approach - from mere passion to making a salary that supported the lifestyle I want for myself. I had to go through strategic planning, work on refining my craft, investing in education, and implementing solid business strategies in order to not just survive, but thrive in my business.
The result? Transforming my side hustle into a six-figure, fully booked-out photography business. I have learned that this journey is not just one of sustaining a passion but elevating it to a level of creative and financial freedom.
These mentor calls are the key to unlocking your TRUE potential and growing with intention. I will teach you the strategies I've tested and tried along the years for you to implement NOW. Learn from my mistakes and build your business in a way that is sustainable & profitable. You will leave each mentoring call with solid business tactics, results-driven advice, and mindset frameworks that will put you ahead of the game. Imagine smooth client interactions, and a business structure that's just right. Find your niche, price your work confidently, amaze your clients with a seamless client experience, and watch your business take off and thrive. This isn't just a step up or a "make money fast" approach, it's an investment into your future as an established & thriving wedding photographer.

Patty has this vibe that just makes you feel like you've known her forever. Not only is she an incredible photographer and entrepreneur, she's an amazing person!
