Photographing other photographers is similar to what I would imagine doctors feel when they have a fellow doc as a patient ( okay, maybe not quite that intense…) but you know what I’m saying…the pressure’s ON. You want them to walk away from their experience feeling good about the fact that they chose YOU to capture them ( or heal them, as the case may be ) Bottom line: you’d better bring your A-game :)

Lucky for me, when NC based photographer Cari Chee emailed about setting up this session, she knew she wanted images that captured her personality & love of photography. The morning of her shoot, I went downtown to my favorite vintage shop & found the suitcase and little 35mm Yashica you see featured in these pics. They turned out to be fun additions to the shoot…and I discovered right before Cari arrived that the Yashica actually works! ( time to buy some more film :) Everything about this session was so relaxed as we walked through downtown talking endlessly about how lucky we are to have jobs we love and clients that inspire us. So the next day, I made the decision to offer more sessions geared towards photographers. Everyone needs great promo shots for their website ( including me! ) and I have a folder full of emails from up & coming photographers asking about mentoring sessions…SO…why not combine the two? Sounds good to me :)

So, for those of you that have asked, I’m thrilled to announce I will be offering a limited number of one-on-one intensive mentoring sessions where the focus is solely on you. You pick the topic. From workflow to processing, marketing to getting published….I’ll answer every question you throw at me ( and be completely honest in the fact that I don’t have ALL the answers..who does?! ) And at the end of our chit-chat on all things photography related…I’ll put YOU in front of the camera & together we’ll create some killer images for your website & blog. If you’re interested in snatching up one of the 3 one-on-one spots I’m offering next month, email the studio for more details. We look forward to meeting you!

Now check out the lovely Cari…who I have to thank for the inspiration! Happy Monday, my friends :)

***UPDATE: April & May mentoring sessions filled up in 2 days! I’m so excited to meet all of you! Due to the response, it looks like I’ll be offering these throughout the fall. Email the studio to get the scoop if you’re interested.
