$5K TRIBE AWARD
In case we haven’t met yet... Hey there! I’m Heather!
I’m ridiculously committed to helping photographers like you get booked so that they can create financial freedom with their passion of photography, while keeping faith + family first.
AFTER BEING UNEXPECTEDLY LAID OFF FROM MY "STEADY" UNIVERSITY JOB, I LEARNED ON THE FLY HOW TO TRANSFORM MY HOBBY INTO A BUSINESS THAT REPLACED MY OLD SALARY (MULTIPLE TIMES OVER). WHAT'S CRAZIER IS THAT I WORK LESS NOW THAN I EVER DID IN THE 9-5 WORLD, I SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND MY INCOME HAS MULTIPLIED!
I believe in faith first, family second and worked with crazy diligence to create a photography business that works FOR my family, not against it.
FOR YEARS NOW, MY BUSINESS HAS GENERATED MULTIPLE $20K+ MONTHS AND SURPASSED THE MULTIPLE SIX FIGURE MARK. ALL THE WHILE, I WORK PART TIME AS I RAISE + HOMESCHOOL MY TWO LITTLE BOYS.
It’s hard to believe how much my life has changed. I am able to spend A LOT of quality time with my family without the stress and uncertainty about where my next client will come from.
I BELIEVE THAT ANY PHOTOGRAPHER WHO IS WILLING TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO CREATE A BUSINESS THAT HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THEIR COMMUNITY AND FINANCIALLY BLESS THEIR FAMILY SHOULD HAVE THE TOOLS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
That's why I created The Booked Photographer.
real students. Real Results.
When I first entered the photography business world, I thought it was amazing! I had a passion for photography, but I had no idea how to make real money from it!
I was young(er), had just been laid off from a university position with no experience in business. I had no clue how to market, get paying clients, and I had absolutely no idea how to sell or even how to grow a social media following.
BUT I HAD PASSION, DRIVE AND I WAS DETERMINED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO...
▪️ Replace my old salary with my photography and financially support my family
▪️ Convey my value with potential clients confidently and clearly
▪️ Stand out in a saturated market and attract my perfect photography clients and increase profits
▪️ Get booked any time of year, but still have most weekends and evenings off to be with my family
▪️ Become established in my local community and known as the go-to photographer
So I dove in. It was completely scary and I second guessed so many of my decisions. There were sleepless nights and multiple breakdowns. But God. He says that “the hand of the diligent will prosper.” So I focused on being diligent with what was in front of me and God was and is faithful. Now, I have an incredible business. I never thought it could be this good, but it truly is.
THIS CAN BE YOUR REALITY TOO.
So What makes The Booked Photographer different?
It’s no secret that there are a million and one educational courses for photographers right now. The Booked Photographer is different. Here’s why:
1. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER HAS ONGOING LIVE COACHING.
How amazing, right!?!? Even though you will have access to the member's area where ALL the phases are housed, there will still be multiple LIVE Implementation Clinics every single month with expert photographers and business owners. On every single one of those calls, you will have an opportunity to ask your burning questions and get immediate and personalized feedback from myself and our other Coaches. Not only that, but you will also have a personalized one on one Accountability Coach for extra handholding and support!
2. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWS YOU HOW TO CREATE A FULLY BOOKED CALENDAR WITH PAYING CLIENTS.
Surprise! We have an incredibly saturated market! I’m sure you know that already. It seems like anybody can pick up a camera and call themselves a pro now-a-days. But, behind the lens and perfectly tailored Instagram profiles, many photographers are not making ends meet. In fact, according to recent statistics, the average photographer makes waaayyyy below minimum wage. Doing business that way is not sustainable. The Booked Photographer will show you how to price yourself for profitability, stand out in a saturated market and book your perfect photography clients. This course will give you the steps to make your photography business dreams a reality.
3. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER GIVES YOU EVERYTHING.
Inside The Booked Photographer, you will receive all the nuts and bolts of starting and growing a portrait or wedding photography business. Trainings cover everything from mindset, organization, workflow, marketing solutions, tech tutorials, 'how-to' videos, pricing, sales, website, blogging, social media marketing, Facebook Ads and so much more! You will get an all-inclusive business building system and multiple opportunities to ask your burning questions on our group Implementation Clinic Calls as well as with your Accountability Coach.
4. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER IS ABOUT QUICK SUCCESSES THAT ALLOW YOU TO SEE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT JUMP BY THOUSANDS AND LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY!
You already know that there is no easy way to launch a successful photography business. It does require a lot of dedication, but it doesn’t have to take forever. I believe that your business and life can drastically change in 90 days. In fact, former students who followed the process got radical results and fast (keep scrolling to read their stories). The Booked Photographer will fast track your success and will help your confidence soar!
5. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER IS TRIED AND TRUE.
I have coached thousands of photographers in previous one-on-one capacity and in a host of other platforms and programs. I know what works and what doesn’t. Not to mention, I still book and photograph my very own photography clients every single month (I think it's super important to stay relevant in the industry). The curriculum inside is the most up to date and the most effective methods to creating a booming portrait or wedding photography business.
6. THE BOOKED PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWS YOU HOW.
Many courses for photographers tell you what to do, but not how. Not this course. The Booked Photographer will take your hand and give you actionable steps to gain momentum in your business. And because we have ongoing coaching and Q+A calls, you will receive instant feedback on how to apply the strategies in your area within your unique situation. As you progress through this mentorship, you will be well on your way to your most profitable and fully booked year to date!
7. I PUT MY HEART INTO IT.
It’s cheesy, I know. But I am truly motivated by YOUR success. I care deeply for each and every one of my students and this course is a culmination of the best marketing strategies. I wholeheartedly believe in The Booked Photographer.
8. MY STUDENTS GET LEGIT RESULTS.

From Working Endless Hours to Working Less but Making More!
"Before I heard of Heather, I was unsure how to take my business to the next level. I am so happy I invested in coaching. I have a newfound confidence in my pricing, marketing and communication with my clients! I am now able to bring in so much more income without working as much as I used to! Heather is amazing!"
- Dina
From Self-Doubt to Established Photographer!
"After working with Heather, my attitude shifted from self doubt to can-do! I used to give all the digitals for a small amount, but now I am offering in person sales, I have an established Senior Model Program and I work less but make more! Heather helped me realize that I am much more capable and that I can have a business that is fun and beneficial for my family! God put Heather in my life at the most perfect time and I am so grateful! She is the best!"
- Brooke
From Struggling to Knowing her Worth!
"Prior to working with Heather, I was struggling knowing what direction to take my business in. I didn't know how to get the word out there and I didn't know how to get people to pay the prices that I wanted to charge. After coaching, I now know exactly what to do next to keep getting people to walk in the door and I don't feel bad about the prices I charge because I am worth it!
- Jessica
From Little Money to Most Profitable Year to Date!
"Before working with Heather, I wasn't making any money and my confidence level was the lowest of lows. After learning these strategies, everything has shifted 100%! Coaching with her has changed everything for me! In ONE week, I booked 11 paying clients. And they have all been referring me like crazy! My business actually makes a profit now. I love what I do and the clients I get to photograph. And I also think it's important to mention that I'm in a town of 400 people, but since I've learned how to properly educate my clients, I am now rocking higher sales! Bottom line - sign up right now because it totally works!"
- Dani
From Negativity to A Brand New Studio!
"Before working with Heather, I was all over the place and lacked support. I was stuck in negativity and really wanted to re-brand and start fresh but didn't know how. Heather has kept me accountable and helped me hammer out new prices that I'm actually confident in! Because of this I can actually afford a studio that I've always wanted! Heather was the lifesaver that my business desperately needed!"
- Karen
From Zero Sales to a First Order of $3000!
"Before working with Heather, I wasn't making any money in my business and struggling to balance out my day job, family life and photography. But right after I joined and went though the first lesson, I made a $3000 sale! I actually feel like I can do this now. And coming from someone who has a full time job and triplets, Heather's tips how to automate business tasks so I can enjoy time with my family were some of my biggest takeaways."
- Eric
From Side Hustle to Full Time Business!
"Before working with Heather, I had been learning photography on the side for years. I spent so much money out of our joint account and I had sacrificed so much family time to edit. Then my family came to a point where I HAD to start bringing in consistent income. So I signed up with Heather and I am seriously so grateful for her help! My very first sale after implementing her pricing strategies was four times as much as it had been before! And each sale since then keeps getting better and better! I even have a new studio downtown! Knowing that I am no longer fumbling around in the dark is so refreshing and I couldn't have done it without Heather!"
- Amy
"If you're on the fence about signing up, DO IT!!! In this industry, you have got to be very picky about who you choose to mentor with. You will NOT regret learning from Heather! She is extremely knowledgable about all facets of the business and holds nothing back! Even though she's also a mom and runs her own photography business, she gives her students her undivided attention and packs in as much information as she can! And she never leaves a question unanswered. After learning from Heather, I am so much more confident in my posing, shooting and business as a whole! I am forever grateful for Heather's constant encouragement, patience, making herself available and accessible. She goes above and beyond!"
- Emily
"Before working with Heather, I had no idea what I should be doing and I was all over the place with my business. I was literally struggling with everything and felt so intimidated with all the other photographers out there. I loved Heather's enthusiasm and her willingness to share both what has worked and what hasn't in her business. She is the "real" deal. Because of what I learned from her, I know exactly what to focus on and I have a great workflow in place. Clients are finding me off of google and I'm now getting full PAYING clients without needing to do any discounts or special offers!"
- Deanna

FAQs
1. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH YET. IS THIS STILL A GOOD FIT?
Absolutely! One of the first trainings, I will walk you through how to define success for you right now in your current season of life. You will have an opportunity to define who you are and the difference you want to make in your family life, in your community and how you are are meant to serve your clients. You don’t have to see the entire staircase before you take the first step. Clarity comes through action (not mulling over “what ifs” for days and weeks on end)! By diving into this mentorship, you will give yourself the privilege of discovering how to actually achieve the desires you have and create the portrait or wedding photography business you dream of.
2. WHAT IF I'M A NEWBIE PHOTOGRAPHER? I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A PAYING CLIENT YET!
Then you are perfect for this! Seriously! We were all newbies at one point! You are at the perfect place to start because you will learn from the mistakes I made so you don’t have to make them yourself! This mentorship can save you from doing things the wrong way… and knowing that can save you a ton of money and time in the long run! Seriously, I wish I had a mentorship like this when I first started!
3. IS THIS MENTORSHIP FOR PORTRAIT OR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS?
BOTH! This mentorship is for EVERY photographer! Newborns, weddings, seniors, family….we cover it all! What you’ll learn and actually implement through the course is the marketing tactics that get you more of the clients YOU want in any niche!
4. WILL THIS MENTORSHIP WORK FOR ME?
I wish I could tell you that without a doubt, The Booked Photographer will work for you, but I can’t. There is no wand to waive or magic pill that will bring your photography business success. YOU are the only one who gets to decide if and when this will work for you. If you are willing to take a leap of faith, trust the process and work through all the course materials, you will get results (and quickly)!
And don't forget, this is not something you will have to trudge through all by your lonesome. Myself and our trained team of Coaches are literally showing up every day in our group and multiple times a month for our Implementation Clinics.
5. I'M SUPER BUSY RIGHT NOW. SHOULD I WAIT FOR A BETTER TIME?
The present time is always the best time. You will always feel busy. You will never feel ready. There will always be an investment attached to it. You either go for it now or stay stuck where you are, not really booking as many clients as you want to and not really making the sales that will create profit and freedom. Some of my students who had the most success signed up while they were working another full time job, balancing out kids, and with of debt weighing them down. Some didn’t even tell their spouses but made so much more money as a result that their spouses were incredibly proud of them!
6. WHAT IF I CAN'T AFFORD IT?
Here's a hard truth: you can always find the funds for the things you value. When you invest in yourself and in The Booked Photographer you are declaring that you are done waiting and wishing. You are choosing to take action to actually do something that will help you achieve your dream photography business. Right now, this mentorship is the most affordable it will ever be.
Truthfully, most investments will feel uncomfortable, but when you start making your decisions, not from a place of fear and lack, but from a place of possibility, everything will change. I personally see investing in myself as one step backwards and ten giant leaps forward type of deal.
And the other thing to ask yourself is, how much money do you think you are leaving on the table, money that could be yours, the clients you could be booking, by not knowing the strategies we teach inside? How much longer will you procrastinate and prolong your dream?
7. IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?
Absolutely! But the first step is to apply and speak with one of our Success Coaches to ensure it's the right fit for you!
8. DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Nope. Why? This mentorship is great and is a fraction of what you'd pay for an MBA or in the "school of hard-knocks." If you hit a wall as you progress through the program, myself and our team of coaches has your back. All you have to do is reach out and we'll do everything we can to get you back on track. We are committed to YOUR success and by not offering refunds, we are intentionally removing the option of failing and giving up. We believe you can succeed and we are committed to seeing you through to the end.
9. WHAT ARE THE OTHER START UP COSTS WITH A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS?
Great question! Really it all boils down to where you are now. When I started my business years ago, I was strapped for cash (remember I was just laid off and had no steady paycheck)! But I built my multiple six figure business, and will show you how to create yours, on a small budget. I will show you the hacks when it comes to marketing, where you can skimp and where you shouldn’t. But really, The Booked Photographer will teach you how to bring in a massive surge of cash flow (so there will be more flexibility in your budget) and book out your calendar with your ideal clients! The goal is for you not to be stressed about money and have more freedom!
NOW HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR YOU...
Are you ready to get off the fence and get the help, support and accountability to become fully booked and profitable as a photographer? Apply here.
A Special Note...
BUT I DETERMINED THAT FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION. I WOULD GIVE IT MY ALL KNOWING THAT I WOULD REGRET MORE THE THINGS I DIDN'T DO BUT WANTED TO. SO I STEPPED OUT IN FAITH INTO A SEASON OF SACRIFICE AND PERSEVERANCE AND FOUGHT LIKE CRAZY TO CREATE A BUSINESS THAT WOULD FINANCIALLY BLESS MY FAMILY.
Listen, I’ve been in your shoes. I too was at the same crossroad: struggling in my business, desperately wanting to make it work, terrified of investing in money that I didn’t think I had to learn what I knew deep down I needed to know.
In fact, I remember investing $5000 into my very first coach. It was scary, but within the first few months that followed that scary decision, my income shot through the roof and I was able to pay off over $11,000 of debt on top of my normal business and personal expenses with no problem! And since then, I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars in my own education and in my business and every penny has seeded exponential growth.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT FOR YOU. GROWTH.
Many of my students enter my coaching programs with hesitation. And that's normal when we embark on something new, but The Booked Photographer gives you the tools you need to make your dream photography business come to life. My students have achieved their own version of success as a result of them stepping out in faith and doing the work. They have multiple bookings in their calendar for months on end, their sales are higher than ever, they are doubling and tripling what they used to make and some have even surprised their spouses with romantic getaways! Just imagine...that can be you too.
