"Confession- I’ve made it to module 2 and I’m about halfway through and my mind is BLOWN!!! I actually dug out my owner's manual for my camera thinking I might need it. Then I put it back because Josie covers literally EVERYTHING! I’m sitting here in shock at the price I paid for this course and I’m only on MODULE 2….TWO! 🤯
I’ve watched YouTube videos for the last 11 years for this kind of help!
Kind words from students like you
Whether you're wanting to learn photography to pursue it as a hobby or a career, this course is for you! You do not have to have intentions of becoming a professional! Although after you begin producing beautiful images you may just change your mind. No promises.
"i don't want to own a photography biz."
There is no time like the present. For real. If I had used the "I'm just not ready" excuse, I'd be sitting in a classroom teaching right now. There will never be a more perfect time than NOW. So if you were waiting for your sign, then this is it!
"i'm just not ready to take such a big step."
Say it with me: Lifetime. Access. You read that right. Whether you have the time to finish it in a day or need to space it out over a year, this course is designed for you to go at YOUR own pace. No need to stress about losing it in a short amount of time. It's yours for life.
"I don't have time to do an entire course right now."
You can do this (I promise!)
...even if you’re thinking…
You have LIFETIME access to the course! That means you can look back on it for a little refresher whenever you need to!
Although beginner is in the title, it is not just for beginners. It is for ANYONE with a camera who is longing to improve in any area of photography. Whether you're struggling with composition or understanding how lighting and locations impact your image, this course is for YOU!

You do not have to own a business or have any plans to become a professional photographer to take the course. The course is for anyone who wants to become a better photographer!
Answer
in March of 2020. From the very beginning I knew one thing was for sure: I wanted to educate beginner photographers one day. I picked up my $125 crop frame camera in March of 2020 with ZERO idea how to use it. After self-teaching myself and investing in education, my business BLEW UP.
By June 2020 I replaced my annual teaching salary. By October 2020 I left the teaching field entirely and went full time! I haven't looked back since. In my first 2 years of business I have shot over 500 sessions, booked over 40 weddings, and created a sustainable and profitable income for my family. I am now educating beginner photographers on HOW to do the same.
And guess what? It begins with mastering your camera and creating beautiful images that not only your clients love, but ones that YOU are proud of! I am so glad you're here friend and I can't wait to watch you grow!
