When I started my business, I was pretty much on my own. I had a lot of friends and family cheering me on and encouraging me along the way, but I didn’t really have anyone teaching or coaching me. I spent a lot of time reading online, watching videos, making my friends model for me…a lot of trial and error. I figured most things out by myself. To be honest, my business took off pretty quickly and God blessed me tremendously.

A few years later, I came across some photographers that were so open about what they’ve learned in the business and were very willing to share what was working for them. I was thankful to find community with people that shared the same passion as me, even though some of these photographers I hadn’t even met. I didn’t feel like I was doing it alone anymore!

Towards the end of 2013, I began praying about the next step in my business. The word “coaching” just kept coming back. Even when I pushed it away and told God I wasn’t capable, He kept putting the word in my heart. I realized that the next step for my business was community. Why keep “the tricks of the trade” to myself?! Why do this on my own? Why see other photographers as competitors instead of friends? I’m ready to spend time with people… invest in them, encourage them, walk with them, cheer for them, coach them.

So, last month, I did two coaching sessions. You may have already seen them on the blog, but I thought I would take time to fill you in on what these coaching sessions are all about!

Here’s the deal:

9:00am-1:00pm– Office Q&A time–> Bring a list of questions and we will spend time chatting about absolutely anything you want! We have plenty of time to cover business organization, editing, social media, equipment, software, workflow, etc and a website/blog/Facebook critique is included. We will also spend time setting some new goals for your business!

1:00pm-2:00pm-Lunch somewhere delicious, on me!

2:00pm-3:00pm– Head shots of you for your business with a little bit of teaching while I shoot

3:00pm-4:00pm– Shoot with live models to practice shooting, posing, and composition techniques

$450

Check out what Emily & Michelle said about it:

“I truly enjoyed my coaching session with Makenzie. Being able to learn from such an amazing photographer is a great opportunity. I learned new posing techniques, tricks with our software and even new software that will help make my business run more smoothly. I feel you can never learn enough in this business and having another photographer review your work and suggest tips is great!!! If your wanting to grow in your business I would suggest a coaching session with her!”-Michelle 

“My coaching with Makenzie was everything I hoped it would be! Ever since I began my business in 2010, Makenzie has always been willing to lend her advice, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to learn from her in this way! Being able to ask countless questions and doing a photo session alongside such an accomplished photographer was invaluable. She touched my heart with words of encouragement and challenged me to set goals for my future. I already feel as though I have grown as a photographer and businesswoman. You will not regret booking a coaching session with Makenzie Lynn Photography!” -Emily
