Wave Maker Method: Group Coaching

Currently accepting waitlist spots - Next group starting September 2026

Brand photography is such a beautiful niche because it blends storytelling, strategy, creativity, connection, and a deep understanding of how people want to show up in their business.

But learning how to offer it well? That can feel like a lot.

There’s the creative side, like directing clients, dreaming up mood boards, capturing personality, and creating images that feel both beautiful and useful.

But behind every beautiful gallery is also the less sparkly stuff: pricing, packages, systems, inquiries, client experience, marketing, and all the tiny moving parts that make a business feel intentional instead of scrambled.

The Wave Maker Method brings both sides together.

Inside this mentorship, you’ll learn how to create brand photography with more purpose, build offers that make sense, and shape a business that feels more grounded behind the scenes.

Together with a small group of likeminded creatives, we’ll look at what you’re working with, unpack the things that feel confusing, and help you move forward with the kind of ease and confidence that makes everything feel a little lighter.

She is sitting sideways in front of a wooden desk with open magazines, a laptop, and a framed picture, with her right arm resting on the chair's armrest. Behind her is a desk with framed artwork, a modern gold desk lamp, and a large black vase with tall green leaves. The room has a light color scheme with a neutral carpeted floor.

What you’ll Learn

  • Get clear on who you are, what you offer, and how you want your photography business to feel from the outside looking in. We’ll look at your visual identity, voice, values, and overall presence so your brand starts feeling less pieced together and true to you.

  • Learn how to approach brand sessions with more intention, from storytelling and shot lists to creative direction and client goals. You’ll learn how to create images that feel connected, impactful, and full of personality.

  • Get support around pricing, packaging, and communicating the value of your work. Not only will this help you build a profitable business, but it will also help you attract aligned clients (who doesn’t love the sound of that?!)

  • Find ways to show up online that feel natural, realistic, and more connected to the clients you’re looking to attract. No more chasing trends or posting for the sake of posting, but instead creating content that provides value, entertains, and helps you build street cred.

  • Look at the behind the scenes pieces of your business, from inquiries and onboarding to prep, delivery, and follow up. We’ll help you create a smoother client experience so you can work smarter, not harder, without having to reinvent the wheel every time.

What’s included:

  • 3 months of one-on-one strategy calls with Jess, hosted monthly

  • Biweekly group coaching sessions to keep you supported, inspired, and accountable

  • Lifetime access to resources, templates, and bonus trainings

  • Email support between sessions for feedback, questions, and guidance

  • Voxer chat for entire group to celebrate wins, ask questions, and stay connected throughout the journey

  • Flexible payment options to make your next season of growth feel more doable

  • A small group of photographers learning, asking questions, sharing wins, and figuring it out alongside you

1:1 Mentorship with Jess

Personalized support for photographers ready to steady the ship, sharpen their business, and grow confidently

One of the many things that building a brand photography business has taught me is the value of community (and caffeine, but that’s beside the point).

When I started out 7 years ago, so much of my business was built through trial and error, late night Googling, second guessing, figuring it out as I went, and learning the hard way. And while that season made me a more resilient business owner, it also slowed me down in ways I didn’t fully realize at the time.

There are so many things I wish someone had walked me through, particularly:

  • How to price my work without spiralling

  • How to create a client experience that felt polished but still personal

  • How to navigate imposter syndrome when it creeps in

  • How to build a portfolio that actually reflected the work I wanted to book

  • How to build out packages and sell them in a way that felt natural

  • How to stop treating my business like a guessing game and start making decisions with more confidence

That’s exactly why I created my 1:1 mentorship program—a personalized coaching experience designed for photographers who want honest guidance, thoughtful strategy, and a little more support as they build or refine their brand photography business.

For the photographer craving a little more direction

This is not a one-size-fits-all mentorship program, it’s one that’s tailored to you and the season of business that you’re in right now.

Maybe you’re curious about stepping into brand photography, but you’re not sure where to begin. Maybe you’ve started booking brand sessions, but your offers, pricing, or process need some fine tuning. Or maybe you’re in that in-between place where you know your business has potential, but you need someone to help you chat through what’s next.

Over three one hour sessions, we’ll dig into the pieces that matter most for your business, your goals, and the kind of work you want to be known for.

Some of the areas we’ll focus on:

  • Learn how to create images that feel intentional, emotional, and connected to your client’s bigger vision.

  • Identify the kinds of images you need to attract the clients and projects you actually want to book.

  • Get support around structuring your offers in a way that feels clear, realistic, and aligned with the value of your work.

  • Explore simple, authentic ways to share your work, talk about your services, and connect with the right audience.

  • Refine your process from inquiry to final delivery, so your clients feel taken care of every step of the way.

  • Look at the behind the scenes pieces of your business and find ways to make them more efficient, polished, and streamlined.

A breakdown of what’s included:

  • Three private one hour mentorship sessions with Jess

  • Personalized guidance based on your business, goals, and experience level

  • Actionable homework between sessions to help you put things into practice

  • Feedback, strategy, and honest conversation around the areas where you feel stuck

  • Support with pricing, marketing, storytelling, portfolio building, client experience, workflow, or wherever you need the most clarity
