I dreamed of a life that would give me freedom. Freedom of time and freedom of creativity. I never went to school for photography and I didn’t know how to work a camera, but I had a fire to do whatever it took to become my own boss. Little by little…I conquered my fears, I learned photography, I learned the business, and I figured it out.
After taking the leap into full-time entrepreneurship (just when I thought I was on my way to living out my dreams)….I completely burned out. I questioned myself a lot and whether I was cut out for this type of work (while binging on way too much Grey’s Anatomy)… and I came to the conclusion that my photography business wasn’t sustainable long term. So what did I do? I invested in myself…. I pivoted…and I learned how to run a profitable six-figure brand photography business that I love.
I’m now on a mission to help others do the same. There is nothing more empowering than living out your purpose.
You want to get out of your head and increase your confidence.
The business side of things is a mess and you want to get things streamlined.
You’re not working with your dream clients or shooting what you really want to shoot.
You have big revenue goals and you’re not sure how to get there with the way things have been going.
You’re ready to get to work and grow your business in a profitable way.
You’re burned out and know the way you’re running your business isn’t sustainable for the long term.
For photographers and service based providers who are looking to grow their business with out the burn out. I also work with individuals who are looking to transition into brand photography. Includes 3 months of weekly 1-1 calls, accountability, and high level unlimited support.
When working with Hillary, I think my confidence grew. I was able to raise my prices (I doubled them over our time working together) and I became really clear on who I want my ideal clients to be. I’m getting over my hatred of social media and I've been getting leads from Instagram after a giant mindset shift she helped me with. I am now even brainstorming coaching for budding photographers, and overall I'm just dreaming bigger! Definitely, the best investment I've made in my business so far. I've grown so much and I really felt like Hillary was there for me the entire time and really on my team.
Prior to working with Hillary, I was balancing having a 6 year old son at home during COVID and running a photography business. While I had a great brand and raving clients, I was on a hamster wheel where I was attempting to do everything on my own and as a result, I was drowning in operational work and I couldn’t consistently shoot, and thereby wasn’t making consistent money.
Working with Hillary, she asked the right questions to understand not only where I was with my business, but what were the exact blocks that were keeping me from succeeding. We went through EVERYTHING; my workflow, marketing habits, website, portfolio, sales, market research, networking, retouching, outsourcing, investing in the right equipment, pricing structure. She gave me SO MANY incredible pieces of insight that were spot on. I had literal PAGES of notes from each of our sessions and was able to make those shifts immediately to see results in my business. Since I’ve worked with Hillary, I’ve outsourced my operations saving me around 20 hours a week. I have completely overhauled my website so I am getting consistent calls booked on my calendar. My minimum buy-in has TRIPLED and my average sale has DOUBLED.
I’m in the process of a rebrand/relaunch where I am so proud to share my new portfolio and move into the next few months, attracting my dream clients, making consistent sales, and working a flexible schedule so I that I can have more free time for family and myself.
Thank you so much Hillary, working with you was life changing. Not just because of the business and photography notes, but for being a coach that really made me shut down my limiting thoughts and believe in my own ability to succeed!
When I started working with Hillary, I was unaware of my numbers and was utilizing Venmo as a way to gather payments. I did not have an accurate calculation of income for my business. As a result of working with Hillary, I was able to book my highest paying wedding, increase my hourly package rate, get clear on the set-up of backend work of the business, and actually provide myself with a weekly paycheck. My workflow is much more streamlined now. I was able to reduce the amount of time & energy spent responding to emails or questions from clients allowing me to spend more time doing the part of photography I love and taking actual photos! With Hillary's help, I am now set up to have a business that I can keep up with throughout my future pregnancy and into motherhood.
Prior to working with Hillary, I was very unclear on where I wanted my photography business to go. I didn't have set packages and was not confident in what I was offering. I didn't know if I could do Personal Brand Photography because of Imposter Syndrome - especially since SHE herself is top notch. Since working with her, I have niched down to Personal Branding and I have booked three new high-paying clients.
It is 100% worth investing with Hillary. She genuinely cares about your business and your success. She's a wonderful cheerleader and gives you amazing insight to think about as you learn and grow.
