1:1 Mentoring: $1650 USD 
2:1 Mentoring: $1200 USD

I offer 1:1 and 2:1 professional mentoring sessions at my Fort Wayne, IN studio. Each mentoring session is tailored to the areas that you want to cover. The beauty of a 1:1 mentor session is that you dictate EXACTLY what you want to learn and improve upon. Generally, mentoring focuses on perfecting your newborn posing techniques as well as your studio lighting.  We will also cover session prep, parent posing, wrapping, prop shots, maximizing your posing & angles, proper camera settings & more. We finish up the day with editing and business mentoring: analyzing web presence, social media, pricing structure, advertising, marketing, accounting & book keeping.
