Need help navigating the business or creative side of your photography journey? Book a one-on-one chat with me—either virtually via Google Meet or in person at my studio! This is your time to ask anything you'd like, from choosing the right CRM and website platforms to setting up successful mini sessions, streamlining your workflow, or getting guidance on lighting and posing. You can choose between a 1-hour or 2-hour session. If we’re meeting in person, I’ll have coffee and snacks ready to keep things cozy and relaxed while we dive into all the details.
When I first reached out to Elysia, all I wanted was to shadow an IPS session. I had no idea how much of a reality check that would be. I quickly realized I was missing so much when it came to actually running a business. At the time, I was only taking donations, had no real structure, and was just figuring things out as I went. Since working with her, I’ve had several paid sessions, sold products, and finally feel like I’m running a real, sustainable business.
Elysia has challenged me in the best way possible while also meeting me where I am. She’s helped me refine my workflow, improve my client experience, and see the true value in what I offer. But beyond that, she’s helped me become a fully legal business. I’ve learned how to file quarterly taxes, create spreadsheets that actually help me track my numbers, build an entire website from scratch, run a CRM, market my work, create invoices, and properly prepare for sessions. The amount of knowledge and confidence I’ve gained is something I never expected.
On top of that, she’s completely transformed the way I approach posing. From posing safety to refining the way I direct clients, she’s helped me create images that feel more natural, flattering, and intentional. I’ve gained so much confidence in guiding my clients, which has made my sessions smoother and my work even stronger.
One of the most incredible parts of this mentorship has been the hands-on experience she’s given me. She’s allowed me to assist her during sessions, giving me real-world experience that has made all the difference. And through it all, she’s been there—pushing me, supporting me, and genuinely wanting to see me succeed.
I truly hope other people see the value and worth that she brings because I had no idea what I was in for—but what I’ve gained from her is beyond invaluable. I will always be grateful for her guidance, generosity, and belief in me.
If you’re looking for a mentor who will teach you not just how to take better photos but how to actually run a business, Elysia is the one. I can’t recommend her enough!
