Hands-On Photoshoot Experience

But also

Wedding Day Shadowing
For photographers interested in weddings, you may have the opportunity to shadow me on a wedding day and see what it truly takes to photograph a full event. (limited availability)

Building a Cohesive Portfolio
We will review your work and talk about how to create a portfolio that feels polished, consistent, and true to your style.

Business Tips & Tricks
Learn practical advice to help you get started in the photography business, including client experience, pricing, branding, workflow, and how to begin booking paid sessions.

What students say:

‘Words cannot express my gratitude and love more for this amazing woman and her talent. I am a colleague from the Industry that was stuck in a funk and Johanna truly provided a mentoring session and headshots for me with amazing insight love and true passion. From the communication to the hands on mentoring she was a true gem. Couldn’t have asked for a better decision in hiring her. Thank you Johanna. You did more for me than I can ever do for you.’
