Do you need help to get your photography business started or to the next level?
Are you like I was asking yourself where do I start, or perhaps you want to start a home based studio part time or full time or you just need some help with a few things? I can help you :)

In 2011 I had a nightmare divorce and my husband threw my youngest son and me out the door with nothing, we were literally homeless and penniless.
I started over from ground zero and I did build a successful home studio ( featured on Sue Bryce Education studio tours ) and now I own a full-service studio in Carlsbad, San Diego. I worked around my kid's schedule and worked from my home.
I am now proud to be part of Sue Bryce education hand-picked support team. We help Sue in the Facebook groups, workshops, and at The Portrait Master Convention.
I can help you get started and avoid mistakes, a lot of bad decisions and things that don't work.
