    Full Day In-Person Mentoring

    $1,499.00
    Imagine an entire day dedicated exclusively to your photography journey—a unique opportunity where industry experts share insights, troubleshoot challenges, and reveal insider tips to propel you forward. This goes beyond ordinary learning; it's about a personalized transformation. Unleash your creative potential, refine your business strategy, and elevate your craft through our exclusive 1-on-1 photography mentoring with Twig & Olive. Step up to our personalized mentoring sessions, placing your artistic vision and professional growth at the forefront. Whether you aspire to enhance your business and marketing strategies, fine-tune your editing skills, master studio management software, explore camera technology, or optimize your computer and storage systems, our mentoring adapts to your needs. Dive deep into the specifics that matter most to you, from crafting bespoke guides, refining shooting techniques, and working with real couple and family models.  The advantage of the full day of mentoring over other options is that we can work on multiple topics and take an intense dive into what's holding you back. If practice makes perfect, then practice we shall. We'll refine the workflows so they become second nature. The models we work with will allow us to get the perfect angle so we're ready for paying clients. The camera will be a confidently used tool and not something to have to guess, check, and hope. Meet Doug, a distinguished photography educator with a master's degree in education. His commitment to setting achievable learning goals for each mentee reflects a genuine passion for your success. If one-on-one mentoring isn't your preference, explore online learning, attend conferences like WPPI or Shutterfest, or catch Doug at your local PPA chapter conference. Note: "1-on-1" mentoring accommodates solo business owners or partnerships with two individuals. Groups: Each participant from separate businesses must purchase a mentoring session with topics tailored to the collective needs.  Travel: Our mentoring services extend from Madison, WI to any location on our calendar. For destinations not listed, a travel fee will be applied based on distance, ranging from $50 to $1000.
