But sometimes, growing alone feels exhausting, or maybe you have big ideas of how you want to expand and thrive but aren't sure how to get there. Most of our clients come to this group when they've built an awesome photography or service based creative business, but are ready to raise prices and free up time, launch their own education brand, try something new in their business, or create a passive income stream. We love helping our clients grow in an aligned way, that matches with their values and creates more abundance in their time, life, and finances. 

Join other creative entrepreneurs in this consulting-based mastermind. The work we'll do will be highly individualized, we'll work together to heal the things holding us back, trying new strategies, doing a deeper level of mindset work, and intentionally growing towards your goals in your business and personal life.

You get the best of both worlds. High level one on one coaching and consulting, plus the benefit of community and group feedback. We find the experience and encouragement from other group members is invaluable within a coaching environment.

The in-person experiences, group coaching, and one-on-one coaching will all be based around helping you shift your energy to attract in the business and life you want. We will be setting foundations for regenerative growth and challenging your perception of what is possible.

We see our clients grow in many different ways including growing their revenue, expanding their business into new areas, creating new income streams, aligning with their purpose, and creating peaceful routines at home.

You've been building on your own for a while and are crushing it!

Hey there!

  • Have been in business 5+ years
  • Make a sustainable income but are wanting to grow it in alignment with your values (this number isn’t the same for everyone but growing from 100k to 250/350k is the zone we often see people wanting to work on. And/or increasing your profit margin so you’re taking home a 6 figure salary after taxes and expenses)
  • Are ready to raise your prices and/or create new income streams
  • Already have a steady client base
  • Have the margin to fully participate in this program
  • Know you thrive with group and individual support and are open to collaboration with others
  • Tend to overwork and want to take a more mindful approach to your business
  • Are open to seeing growth from many angles. Financial growth doesn’t happen overnight and growth often comes in relational ways, financial, capacity, time, or inner peace and growth

this is for Photographers who...

I’ve done a lot of coaching and I know first-hand that the support from a mastermind is so powerful. The combination of community and personalized coaching is motivating, fun, and an invaluable investment for your business. 

Plus: 

You get a tailored approach from a coach who really is invested in your business and your goals. 

You get access to ready-made systems that have been proven to work.

You get the insight and expertise that your entire group brings to the table. 

And you get the support and feedback from other experts invited to the meetings. 

The most impactful masterminds aren’t just about having a coach tell you what worked for them and having you duplicate it. 

When a mastermind is most powerful is it supports you as you walk your unique path in a way that is authentic and intentional. They are about finding ways around your blocks and your fears, allowing you to flourish in your uniqueness. 

Why a mastermind?

3 gROWTH PATHS

This is not a one-size-fits-all mastermind

‘Cuz you’re unique and amazing and what worked for one might not work for you.

Instead, we offer a meet-you-where-you-are-at experience that is highly personalized and very effective. 90% of our recent clients reported booking their highest project ever during or within 3 months of completing the program.

Together, we dive deep into your business, your finances, your personal goals, and your values…and then create an individualized plan to get you on the path to the future you have been craving.

To organize and facilitate this, we have created 3 growth paths that, from our experience, are the most common ways we see photographers wanting to grow and thrive. Within each growth path, we have proven systems and strategies to get you to the results you want to see. 

WHO: You want to uplevel your business, command higher price points, and become more of a leader in your field. 

FOCUS: Raising prices using our portfolio, pricing, branding, and sales frameworks. 

GOAL: Land one new project at your higher pricing.

AREAS COVERED: 
  • Portfolio and Website Review
  • Strengthening your portfolio with strategic new work
  • Elevating your client experience to hit a new position in the market
  • Working with our sales team to create unforgettable first touch points in your business
  • Re-evaluating your pricing, pitching, and sales strategies 
  • Create and implement a relationship and marketing plan to align with new direction and pricing
  • And more as necessary
WHO: You are looking to shift into an educator role within your industry. 

FOCUS: Marketing and launching

GOAL: Have an education offer created, pre-launched, and prepared for launch. 

AREAS COVERED: 
  • Create a core educational offering based on your experience, passion, and core values
  • Identify which ideal client to focus on for this offer
  • Flesh out the program and design an outline
  • Our implementation team will create slides, freebies, and content from outlines created
  • Decide on a main marketing strategy for this program and build or pitch with the sales team’s help
  • And more as necessary
WHO: You have a thriving business, now you just want more free time without sacrificing your revenue.

FOCUS: Reorganization, automation, batching, outsourcing, and streamlining of your business. 

GOAL: Free up 20 hours a week

AREAS COVERED: 
  • Audit current systems, outsourcing, and automation
  • Identify time goals and the “new goal” for how time is used
  • Restrategize offers and pricing to free up time
  • Build automations on the fulfillment end
  • Work with our implementation team to create systems and workflows on the back end of your business and processes to enable outsourcing and simplified marketing strategies

And YES, you can do all three. If you join for a year (2 cohorts), we'll get to work through all three journeys.

We want to help you meet your goals but sometimes our timing is longer than we expect. This program helps us build the foundation for our next level of growth and learn the skills so you can self coach, monitor your financial goals, and regulate your mindset as your capacity expands.

Group calls will be used for quick lessons/recaps, community sharing what you’re working on, getting feedback and support from the group, quick coaching from Kristin and the team, encouragement, and a practice ground for some of the skills we’re building.

These cohorts are 10 people max, and we want to make sure each member will bring a ton of value to the group. Fill out the application and we'll set up a time to interview you to see if it's a good fit!
