THIS IS WHAT LIGHTS ME UP

PORTRAIT BUSINESS COACHING

Helping photographers create beautiful work, an exceptional client experience, and a profitable business built with clarity.

 Are we a good fit?

I believe your business should support the life you want to live, not consume it.

A business that's profitable, organized, and sustainable enough to give you the freedom to create your best work, care deeply for your clients, and still have a life outside of it.

I also believe beautiful work and a beautiful business belong together. The photographers I admire most never stop refining their craft, elevating their client experience, or strengthening the business behind it. Those things aren't separate. They're all part of becoming exceptional.

If you're looking for quick fixes or the latest marketing trend, I'm probably not the right mentor for you. But if you're ready to build something that lasts, I'd love to help.

Together, we'll strengthen every part of your business, from your photography, branding, and client experience to pricing, marketing, workflow, productivity, and the systems that allow it all to work together. I don't believe great businesses are built by doing more. I believe they're built by doing the right things exceptionally well.

If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, send me a message. I'll always be honest about whether I'm the right mentor for you.

Because growth isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things exceptionally well.

  • "$2050 more than I would have made before!"

    “I just got out from my first reveal session and they purchased my album collection with all the digital files for $2500! All in all with the creative fee I made $2850 on this session! That is $2050 more than I would have made before I made the switch to IPS!”

    I sent my new frame pricing to a client last night and braced for impact. This morning I got a response that she wants to order an 11x14, no questions asked. Easy peasy. My first ever Musea frame order!

25 YEARS LATER

HI, I’M LAURA

Since 2001, I transitioned from weddings to portraits, worked from home with three babes on my hip, opened a retail portrait studio with a team of six, and established a well-known luxury brand for maternity and newborn clients.

Over those years, my goal remained the same: create meaningful art while maximizing profit for my business so I could spend less time behind a camera and more time with my family.

All of my education is created for all portrait photographers with the same goal!
