GIRL, I HAVE BEEN THERE!

Hi, I'm Melonie

Your New BFF + Senior Photography Business Cheerleader!

I remember the uncertainty I felt when trying to figure it all out.

 

I would look at others' work and wonder, "How did they manage to pose their seniors like that and still make them look so natural?" I often found myself stuck on pose ideas, unsure of how to position my seniors to flatter different body types. I was captivated by dreamy, backlit images and yearned to master that technique.

 

And then there was pricing... How was I supposed to set my rates or find the confidence to conduct in-person sales?

 

I started this journey 20 years ago, questioning whether I could truly build a substantial income from it. Here's a revelation: You absolutely can! I navigated the internet on my own, invested thousands (yes, thousands) into enhancing my business, and before long, I successfully transformed it into a six-figure enterprise! I've discovered what works and what doesn't, and...

I'm sharing my secrets and cheering you on to success as an attendee at one of our BOSS VYBZ Senior Portraits Photography Retreats in 30A with you and your senior!

Rosemary Beach Senior Photography Workshop for Senior Portraits

I can help because...

I used to be you!  I've been here and know the struggle is real.

When I first started, I wasn’t charging what I should have and had no clue how to confidently pose a senior! I wanted to level up my business early on, so I went on a deep dive into the internet (and trust me, it was a lot!). That’s when I had my lightbulb moment: finding a mentor who was years ahead of me in the senior photography game would be the fastest way to reach my goals!

 

So, I took the plunge and invested in that learning. Now, I’ve built a thriving business that brings in a steady stream of inquiries, a calendar packed months in advance, and clients who can’t stop raving about their experience. 

 

I’ve been there, and I can help you too! Let me show you the way to success! With just 2 days with MY MENTOR, I learned more than I did in 6 months of online learning. Let me do the same for you.

“This was the highest quality and most useful content I've experienced in any class I've attended!”  

– DEBBIE P.

 

Attending this class made my time at PPA Merit Monday truly worthwhile. Melonie was engaging and easy to follow, providing an overwhelming amount of valuable, actionable content. Even months later, I'm still referencing my notes from her class to inform my decisions. I usually aim for just a few solid takeaways, but with her class, I came away with several pages of notes and content that continues to shape my strategy for the year. Absolutely worth it!

I get that investing in your business can feel daunting, especially when you're not fully booked yet... and even more so if you've already put money into other courses or workshops.

 

But let me ask you this:

 

With the current pace of your business growth (or lack thereof)…

 

With your struggles to identify what might be holding you back…

 

With how much you're currently charging...

 

Can you truly afford not to invest in your business?

take my hand

Let me help you get on the fast track to booking the ideal client again and again.
