For professional photographers who are ready to build and scale their business past 6-figures with more ease, alignment and joy.
You are grateful for the business you have built, but sometimes you still look around yourself and think, “there has to be a better way than this.” You want the same success without the burnout.
You often feel stressed, depleted, or overwhelmed trying to do everything within your business, but you don’t know what to let go of or how to do it. It feels like everything relies on you.
You wish time would slow down because the moments that you really want to savor are slipping by and you just cant keep up. You are ready to feel present and truly enjoy your business and life.
When all of the commotion and chaos of your days stops and you really look at your life, what do you see?
Do you love everything you have built or are you feeling crushed under the weight of it all?
Are you afraid to even look?
Will you spend another night on the couch with some wine and Netflix, or maybe a pint of ice cream and some social media scrolling, doing anything so that you don’t have to listen to that little voice within?
I know exactly what you’re feeling right now because I’ve been there…
In 2012 I was running a 7 figure photography business, traveling, speaking on stages, had two beautiful daughters and a happy marriage. From the outside I was “living the dream.” In fact, at one point, everything I was living really HAD been my dream.
But the reality was that while the outside looked picture perfect, inside, I was falling apart. I was burnt out, overwhelmed, stressed and fatigued.
I was working 50 hours a week at the studio and still taking work home. I was even back full-time, hunched over a beanbag and taking newborn photos for clients 4 weeks after my daughter Grace was born.
This was not the life I envisioned when I started my business.
I had a recurring pinched nerve in my back, restless sleep and constant anxiety. Doctors sent me away with a diagnosis of adult ADHD and a prescription. But the prescription didn’t fix me. I was so busy hustling and achieving that a part of me was dying.
That little voice within began calling me to change. Was it selfish for me to want more? Was the balance and joy I craved even possible or was this the fate of being a small business owner?
I wanted…
A life I didn’t need to escape.
To feel the joy, inspiration and enthusiasm I felt when I first started my photography business.
To be lit up and on fire and in love with my life and business again.
More time with my young kids where I could be fully present and full of energy.
Freedom to take time off, travel and work from anywhere.
The path of transformation that took me from burnt-out, blocked and broken while running my photo business, to living a life of passion and purpose is the path I walk with you in my coaching programs.
It is a path that reconnects you to a clear vision for your life and business as you write a whole new story for yourself.
That little voice you’ve been scared to listen to is the voice of your soul and it is calling you into a life beyond your wildest dreams.
It is ready to shatter the glass ceiling within your business and leave any limitations behind. No more playing small.
Combining my proven system for scaling a photography business to 6 or 7 figures with my life changing coaching methodology, this 12 week program will unleash your next level in business and life.
Your photography business can be easier, fun and more playful!
It can be as lit up, passionate and inspired as the day you first picked up your camera!
Let’s paint the picture and think about this for a quick second…
What if you gave yourself 12 weeks to fully immerse yourself in a coaching community of inspiring photographers to transform your biggest business blocks into breakthroughs, start purposefully designing a career you love and unleashing a life of greater passion, purpose and joy?
Hi! I’m Heidi!
For the past decade, I’ve coached thousands of women in business and life as they have become unbound by their limitations, reclaimed their passion and stepped into their callings.
As a coach, I am a unique combination of business bad-ass and wholistic wellness. I want artists to experience financial freedom as well as the deeper joy that comes from intentionally designing how they get that money!
I started my career as a high school art and photography teacher, then founded and grew multiple 7 figure creative businesses including a portrait studio, a hand painted backdrop company, a photo collective and online education and coaching.
As a world renowned educator and speaker in the professional photography industry since 2010, I’ve mentored women around the world as they uncovered their unique genius and purpose and then infuse it into every area of their life and work.

Here’s what some of the photographers from my coaching programs are saying:
That’s why I created…
I first ran Photographer Rising, my online business course for photographers, in 2015 and have been running it with incredible results ever since!
In 2021 I completely re-recorded all of the content to include lessons from my experience of growing past 7 figures annually, opening a photo collective space, and creating multiple passive revenue streams.
I also began stepping into my passion for life coaching and hosting high level masterminds in early 2020, and have added that methodology to Photographer Rising to take my business coaching to the next level.
As someone who has built a million dollar portrait studio from the ground up, I can tell you that no amount of money will make you happy until you do the inner work necessary for success! That’s why I combine business and mindset together in my work.
This combination of business and mindset coaching is only available once in 2023.
And it all starts February 6th.
Imagine…
Having me as your coach to uplift, encourage and strategize with you as you release what is holding you back and step into your unique genius in business.
Creating a solid plan for your business in pricing, sales, marketing and branding to attract more ideal clients who seek you out for your unique artistry.
The relief and lightness you will feel as you let go of the blocks that keep you feeling stuck and develop innovative ways to scale your business with multiple revenue streams.
Overcoming self sabotage and silencing your inner critic so that you can get to the next level in your business, showing up confidently and setting clear boundaries.
Working together with a group of supportive, high-achieving, creative business women who are all walking the path of transformation together, sharing inspiration, ideas and keeping each other accountable. Your new business besties.
Having a fully booked calendar after mastering innovative marketing techniques (outside of just social media) and building your list through organic lead generation.
The radical self-love and accomplishment you will feel when you take these 12 weeks and commit to realizing your full potential in business.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How long do I have access to the information in this program?
No matter what option you choose, you have lifetime access to the information in all of the modules to rewatch as many times as you’d like. Many people revisit the business planning exercises every year. If you choose an option with coaching, you will also have the recordings of all of our coaching calls. Our facebook community is open for support for the 12 weeks that the coaching is active and then it is archived so that you are still able to see all of the posts and rewatch the videos.
I’m super busy, what is the time commitment to see results?
Each of my coaching programs takes 1-2 hours per week to get through the material depending on how much you time you commit to the exercises. Coaching calls are up to an additional hour per week.
What times will the calls be?
All group calls are on a regularly scheduled date and time so that you can plan ahead and schedule them in! Photographer Rising group coaching calls in 2023 will be every other Thursday at 1:00pm EST. High Level Mastermind Calls will be every other Tuesday at 11am EST. 1 on 1 calls can be scheduled through my calendar at a date and time convenient for you!
What if I can’t make the live call times?
Everything we do is recorded and placed on the community course portal and can be replayed anytime. Photographers in my coaching programs have commented that they get a tremendous amount out of watching the coaching calls back even when they can’t be there live. They are inspirational calls to listen to while editing or cleaning your studio!
I've already invested in a similar program from you, but I am interested in coaching in 2023. Do I have to pay full price?
If you’ve taken Photographer Rising, Artist Rising or Unbound and you’re interested in either the Photographer Rising group coaching or high level mastermind in 2023, please email me at [email protected] and I will create a special discount code for you based on your previous investment! If you’ve taken my programs in the past, I know you have a solid foundation for this work, and I would love to have you in our community in 2023!
