The Strategy Session™
Strategic clarity for people building real businesses.
One-on-one strategy sessions designed to cut through noise, surface what actually matters, and define next steps that fit how your business truly operates.
Who is this for?
These sessions are for photographers, creatives, small business owners, and aspiring operators who want clear direction and an experienced outside perspective.
You do not need to be in photography to benefit from this work.
You do need to be serious about building something that functions properly.
This is a fit if you:
Are building or running a real business, not a hobby
Want strategic direction, not motivation
Value structure, clarity, and thoughtful decision-making
Are ready to implement what’s discussed
If you’re looking for coaching, mindset work, or surface-level advice, this is not the right environment.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A STRATEGY SESSION
Strategy sessions are focused, direct, and practical.
We look at:
What’s actually happening in your business right now
Where things are breaking or getting unnecessarily complicated
What matters most in this next phase
What to stop doing
What to prioritize instead
You leave with clarity around next steps and a stronger understanding of how your business should be operating.
No frameworks for the sake of frameworks.
No filler.
No hype.
INTRODUCING
The Strategy Session™
WHY MY PERSPECTIVE IS DIFFERENT
My background is rooted in the luxury photography market, where businesses operate at the intersection of creativity, high expectations, and real operational pressure.
I spent over two decades working inside photography businesses, first as a photographer and later as a strategic and operational partner behind the scenes. That experience translates well beyond photography.
Luxury service businesses require:
Strong systems
Clear decision-making
Operational discipline
Respect for time, margins, and client experience
Those principles apply whether you’re a photographer, creative, service provider, or early-stage business owner.
What You'll Walk Away With.
This is not a brainstorming session.
In ninety minutes, we cut through noise, surface what actually matters, and define a clear path forward based on how your business operates today and where it needs to go next.
You’ll leave with:
Clear priorities
Defined next steps
Strategic direction you can execute without second-guessing
Strategy Session Outcomes
Rather than a checklist, this session produces a working plan.
You’ll leave with a focused 90-day direction aligned to your revenue goals and capacity, clarity around where friction is happening inside your systems or offers, and a short list of priorities that will create the greatest impact.
When appropriate, I’ll also share practical recommendations to support implementation.
The goal is not more information.
The goal is control and direction.

Any photographer — at any stage of business — who’s ready to get out of reactive mode and work with a clear, focused plan. Whether you’re just starting, feeling stuck in the middle, or looking to refine and scale, the Strategy Session will give you a 90-day roadmap tailored to your goals.
Yes — while most of my clients are photographers, I’ve worked in and alongside multiple creative industries over the last two decades. I can adapt my strategies to service-based businesses beyond photography.
However, I’m not familiar with the fine details of every industry, so my guidance will focus on universal systems, strategy, and revenue-building approaches that apply across creative and service businesses.
A 90-minute live Zoom session where we audit your current business, identify your top opportunities and bottlenecks, and create a custom 90-day roadmap.
You’ll also receive your Clarity Guide within 7 days, outlining your priorities and recommended resources.
Additional add-on support is available such as 14-days of slack support, a 30-minute call, The Studio Reset™ for a full implementation day or Virtual Studio Management for ongoing support.
No — the Strategy Session is an advisory and planning service. I’ll give you the strategy, the roadmap, and the tools you need, but the implementation is 100% up to you. If you want hands-on help, you can upgrade to The Studio Reset™ VIP Day or Virtual Studio Management for done-for-you execution.
Absolutely — that’s a big part of what we do in the session.
I’ll help you identify exactly where you’re getting stuck and give you actionable ways to fix it. But the responsibility to implement those fixes rests with you unless you choose an upgrade for hands-on support.
No. Your time slot is reserved exclusively for you, and prep work begins as soon as you book. If you need to reschedule, you may do so once within 60 days, with at least 48 hours’ notice.
You’ll receive your written Clarity Guide and roadmap within 7 days of our session. This ensures I have time to tailor it to your specific goals and the challenges we uncover during the call.
You’ll need to:
Complete the prep questionnaire in full at least 48 hours before our session
Show up on time and distraction-free for the 90-minute call
Commit to implementing the plan we create
Ask for clarification during the session if you need it — I’m here to make sure you leave confident in your next steps
That’s fine — your roadmap is designed for 90 days, but you can work through it at your own pace. You’ll have it in writing so you can revisit it any time.
You can add 14 days of Slack access or a 30-minute follow-up call for accountability and troubleshooting. If you’d like me to execute the plan for you, we can discuss upgrading to The Studio Reset™ VIP Day or Virtual Studio Management.
No — I can’t guarantee specific results, because every business, market, and individual is different.
What I can promise is that you’ll leave with a clear, personalized roadmap, proven strategies, and the support to take action.
The outcome ultimately depends on your ability to implement, adapt, and make decisions that feel right for your business. Think of this as expert guidance paired with your commitment — that’s where transformation happens.
NOW IT'S TIME TO
Stop running your business on chaos and caffeine.
This is your moment to get out of reactive mode, get clear on your next moves, and build a business that works as hard for you as you do for it.
