TESTIMONIALS

      Before I found Helen, I felt stuck. An article she wrote in Click magazine screamed at me to contact her right away! Helen's mentoring sessions helped me value myself and my time, which made me love my business again! Her pricing knowledge gave me the confidence to evolve my packages and I now work smarter, not harder. I completed five mentoring sessions with Helen in 2015, and I am still running a successful business - with better foundations and boundaries. Today, I still mention Helen's mentoring sessions to my staff and I know that I can always reach out to her if I have a dilemma.

      “Since I first picked up my “big girl” camera, Helen has been an awesome resource and a mentor for me as I made the leap from a “momtographer” to having my own photography business! Her Photography 101 class is a MUST for anyone wanting to stoping using the “automatic” setting and to start taking beautiful photographs. Helen provides straight forward, “plain english” instruction that is refreshing and easy to learn. I was so excited about my results after taking her class that I immediately signed up for DSLR Bootcamp… and WOW! After a FUN and enjoyable afternoon I was able to “find the light” and do so much more than I had imagined. Not only is Helen a creative and talented photographer, she is an inspiring teacher and mentor. She has the passion to see others do well, and the ability to share her wisdom in a way that few others can!”

      “I had the opportunity to take a lesson with Helen this summer and within an hour my photography skills had skyrocketed! I went from not knowing how to work my camera off automatic to no longer needing my auto setting at all! The simple way Helen was able to explain the inner-workings of an SLR, coupled with her professional yet friendly and casual style, made learning how to work the manual mode easy and fun. I highly recommend anyone wanting to take their photography skills to the next level to spend time working with Helen. It’s an investment in yourself that your family, friends (and especially you!) will be happy you made.”

      “If you are a professional photographer seeking a mentor or an aspiring professional photographer, look no further. Helen is exceptional in every single thing that she does. As a mentor, she is supportive, caring, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Her images are just gorgeous, and she gives you the tools and the confidence to create gorgeous images of your own. With Helen’s support, my own photography skills and know-how have blossomed into a business. I cannot recommend Helen’s mentoring services enough. Helen is a brilliant artist, a gracious teacher and she clearly loves guiding rising photographers.”

      “Over the past several years I’ve had the benefit of mentorship from Helen. During this time she gave me the confidence and support I needed to get started, and was there every step of the way to encourage me.
