After attending photography school I now have over 20 years in the photography industry, I have worked as an employee for photography studios, to setting up a full functional home studio to now a six figure full service studio.
I have invested in myself and been mentored by some of the best in our industry, also in business building and personal development.
Here is the link to watch my SBE studio tour
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 built a successful home studio.
I worked around my kid's schedule and worked from my home (featured on Sue Bryce Education studio tours).
Now I own a full-service studio in Carlsbad, San Diego since August of 2017.
I am proud to be part of Sue Bryce's 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 that I experienced and can now teach you what to do and not do to save you time and money.
