Trying to learn everything on your own can feel like a lot. There’s endless advice online, but none of it knows who you are, what gear you use, or where you’re stuck.

Coaching gives you:

• A real conversation, not random tutorials
  We cut through the noise and focus on the handful of things that actually matter for where you’re at right now.

• A bit of accountability
  It’s easy to say, “I’ll practice later.” When you know someone’s going to ask what you tried, you’re a lot more likely to pick up the camera.

• Feedback that actually helps
  You get honest reactions to your photos, what’s working and what isn’t, plus clear suggestions for what to change next time. No fluff, no generalizations, just practical guidance.

If any of these sound like you, you’re in the right place.

• You mostly use Auto and feel nervous touching anything else.

• You’ve watched videos and read articles, but the pieces still don’t fit together.

• You aren’t sure which settings matter and which you can ignore for now.

• You want to enjoy photography instead of feeling intimidated by it.

You might have a basic camera, a starter kit, or even be planning your first purchase. The point isn’t how fancy your gear is, it’s that you want to feel more confident using it.

In coaching sessions, we keep things simple and practical:

• Core concepts in plain language
  We walk through exposure, focus, and basic composition in a way that makes sense, using subjects and situations you actually care about.

• Go to setups for your camera
  We create a few reliable settings you can reach for without thinking. For example, “this is what I use outside,” or “this is what I use for family and friends.”

• Image critiques with clear next steps
  We use a simple, structured process to review your photos. We cover what is working and what is not, for the image as a whole, creatively, and technically, and we finish with specific next steps for your next session.

• Small, realistic practice plans
  You leave each session with a short, doable assignment, not a giant list. The goal is visible progress after every step, not perfection.

Here’s the basic framework behind your coaching:

1. Get clear on what you want, for example, “get off Auto,” “take better travel photos,” or “feel comfortable using my camera on an upcoming trip.”

2. Talk honestly about where you’re starting, what’s going well, what’s frustrating, and how much time you can realistically put in.

3. Figure out the biggest gaps that are holding you back.

4. Lay out a simple plan to close those gaps, step by step.

5. You work the plan, and your coach checks in, answers questions, and adjusts things as you go.

6. Review what you photographed, see what’s working, and tweak what isn’t.

7. Repeat, keeping what helps and dropping what doesn’t.

You always know why you’re doing something and what the next step looks like.
