Go ahead, dance that happy dance of freedom from your day job and take the leap to

FULL TIME PHOTOGRAPHER

Imagine waking up every day as your own boss. Creating art for clients you love and capturing memories that will be cherished for generations. It may not be an easy road, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best job out there.

TAKE THE LEAP

I see you. I WAS you

wanting to transition from part time to full time

You have done the work. You have honed your craft, built a small client base, and tasted what it is like to run your own business, but you want more. You want your business to be your LIFE. You want to wake up and be your own boss every day. You want to shoot the weddings you crave with clients you adore - creating art and building your dream business. You want to take the leap from part time to full time.

feeling too scared, unsure, or alone

You know that leaving your full time job isn't easy- that steady paycheck, health benefits, PTO, and other aspects of being employed have you afraid to leave. There are very little resources out there for photographers transitioning to being fully self employed, and entering the unknown into uncharted territory by yourself can feel completely overwhelming

wishing there was an easier way to dive in

You want to take the plunge but wish that there was a user manual, community, support system, or someone to walk you through the transition from part time to full time. It's a huge change and it would be so much easier if there was an easier way to take the leap - with support, guidance, and community of like minded individuals who get what its like to take the leap to full time entrepreneur

Hi, I'm Ginny!

I'm an award winning and internationally published wedding photographer. The difference between me and a lot of other photographers? I have had zero training or education in photography - in fact, I never even held a 'real' camera until one year before I started my business.

Yet somehow, in my second year in business I went from taking in $20,000 in income to making $120,000 (and it kept growing each year after- I'm now in my 8th year).

The transition from my full time job as a teacher with benefits, a 401k, and a steady paycheck was scary, uncertain, and most people told me not to do it. (But I mean...Can you blame them? I was self taught, new to the photography world, and had zero budget for advertising.)

While I am so glad I pushed through all of the trial and error, difficulties, and uncertainty I know how much easier the journey could be made for other photographers with the right support and guidance.

Let me help you build your dream business and transition into a life you LOVE where you wake up to working your dream job every day.

Say YES to being equipped with a tool kit for success - from courses to editing presets to client resources- and say YES to being paired with regular support from someone who has done it before- and say YES to a community of photographers in the same boat to help one another through the transition.

Take the leap.
