1:1 MENTORING

with Cassandra

 
 
 

 
 

Whether you're just starting out or looking for new ways to expand your creativity, my newborn photography mentoring sessions can help you take your career to the next level. Whatever challenges you're facing in your career as a photographer, these are a great way to expand your knowledge and break through to a new level of creativity and confidence. 

When I started my business in 2015 I had one goal; to be home with my daughter as much as possible. I saw my love of photography as a viable way to make this happen, but how? How could I replace my very well-payed career with photography?! 

I spent the last two years building my business, making mistakes, and learning from them. I built packages and then rebuilt them. With my degree and career based around graphic design and marketing I quickly learnt the best way to find the clients that valued what I provided. Two years ago I picked up a camera for the first time. One year ago I quit my nine-to-five job as a senior graphic designer. In one year I replaced and doubled my income. It is possible and I would love to show you how. 

I have mentored over 34 photographers from around New Zealand. I consider teaching a passion of mine and I enjoy watching my students flourish after our sessions.
