Do you have big plans for your business?
Hey photographer! I know the struggle of trying to learn all the things while keeping the tiny humans alive.
Imagine building a photography business (while making money), without scouring the internet, asking questions in facebook groups, or using trial and error in the small pockets of time you have outside of raising your family.
I know you have big expectations for yourself. To go from answering every facebook post of "I need a photographer" to being sought out for being the best in the biz.
Ready to finally feel confident in your skills and bring in dream clients?
A profitable business isn't that far away. And it doesn't have to be complicated!
What if you could finally build your business, book dream clients, and make money without being overwhelmed?!
If we're being honest with each other, it's probably pretty overwhelming. You may have lots of doubts. And you're wondering if you're always going to feel this defeated. Sound about right? Then I'm SO glad you're here! Because you're definitely in the right place!
I'm here for you!

"I'm not charging enough to be worth the time I'm putting in"
Does this sound familiar?
At the end of the day you just want to take beautiful photos and get paid well!
Believe me when I say that I get it. Because I've been exactly where you are right now.
I remember scouring the internet and researching all the things in all my "spare" time. I was so overwhelmed and tired of wasting time on things that didn't work. I was tired of asking questions in Facebook groups.
You may know the end result you're aiming for but have no clue how to get from point a to point b.
But now I've done it! I'm booking ideal clients, in ideal locations, and making money. And my students do too!
It's not about the having all the presets or most updated gear. You don't even need to live somewhere with mountains or beautiful scenery.
"I feel scared or guilty about raising my prices"
"I'm constantly comparing myself to other photographers"
"I'm worried about losing my love of photography because the backend feels like a chore"

Family Photography Made Simple
A learning library of topics you need to know to build your dream family photography business!
I'm Whitney! As a family photographer for 10 years I have learned how to build and work my business so that is works FOR me.
Why choose me as your educator? during my milspouse era we were moving every 2-3 years and I had to learn how to rebuild my business each time. I know the blueprint that works! My greatest monetary accomplishment was 10k months which fueled me to help others do the same.
I grew up in Boise, ID. Went to college to become a horse trainer (yes that's a thing). Then got my dream job outside Seattle teaching riding lessons to kids. After meeting my submarine officer husband I joined him in moving about the country (VA-CA-WA). Two kids later we are now living the civilian life back in Idaho.
