DOES ANY OF THIS STRIKE A NERVE?
Are YOU currently
✓ Are you struggling to establish systems and structure in your business to support your long-term success?
✓ Are you second-guessing your pricing and failing to attract high-paying clients?
✓ Are you feeling stressed during your sessions and lacking the confidence to deliver an incredible experience for your families?
Honestly? This is where I was at for far too long…
There was a time I was feeling that way too
I wanted to be better and do better – but I didn’t know where to turn for help.
18 years later, here I am, inviting you into the kind of online space that I needed back then.
This academy is a collection of everything that’s worked for me and contributed to my success over the past decade – and I’m sharing it all with you as honestly and transparently as I can.
I’m living proof that it’s possible to run a highly profitable photography business AND be a busy, hands-on mother – and I want that for you too.
My success didn’t happen overnight.
There was no magic bullet.
But I did the things that others weren’t.
The things that you know you should be doing, but that you aren’t doing because you’re distracted.
This is your chance to focus on the right things, with the right support.
The time is now.
Only 4 days later and I’m already having positive results from the changes I’ve made.
Now I’m so excited about the future rather then spiralling towards burnout

RAVE Reviews
Amanda Nina
I absolutely loved this format, having all the content available meant I could really target the areas I wanted to learn immediately, and the fact that it is all rewatchable means you can pause, rewind and review in detail the information you want to learn. I'd seen Soph work her magic in person before but that ability to carefully review any areas I wanted to improve was game changing.
I loved the incorporation of the Zoom calls, having that time to watch the content, ask questions and discuss them live was so helpful. I really found I was able to fit the content around my schedule, watching while I was editing or even listening in on Zoom calls whilst driving. The confidence you get from a course like this really is invaluable!
Stacey Rolfe
Sophie's workflow was simple, controlled, and flexible - and it was by far the most valuable takeaway for me.
Danusia
Initially I was hesitant to invest in the Academy, I wasn’t sure if it was the right step for my business. However, I quickly realised that not investing was holding me back. This has been the biggest investment I’ve ever made in education, and it’s by far been the *best* investment I’ve ever made for my business. Growth happens after investing, not before, and I’m so glad I took the leap!

HEY THERE!
Hi, I’m Sophie – mother, photographer, educator, human.
I've honed my craft and discovered a true love for not only photography but also for teaching other women how to succeed in this ever-evolving industry.
When I'm not mentoring photographers and shooting families, you'll usually find me folding laundry, breaking up arguments between my kids, and bag-packing for our next adventure. Nature is our playground and happy place.
There’s no doubt about it: I adore being a photographer. But the feeling I get when helping others reach their full potential is so special to me and I’m beyond excited to bring my in-person education online, expanding my community to empower even more talented creatives like you.
I've poured my 18 years of experience into this academy and created a comprehensive course that covers everything from shooting techniques to marketing strategies and everything in between.
I'm here to help you lay the strong foundations needed for a thriving photography business that stands the test of time, and I’ll be there every step of the way.
The best is yet to come.
See you inside,
Sophie x

KIND Words
Claire Dubost
I feel so much more comfortable having a newborn session and knowing what to do and what to expect. My workflow is flowing and I know what to do next.
It’s the best investment I have done so far for my business because it’s a complete education piece. It’s not just touching one thing and then off you go. It’s teaching everything you need to know on every angle. You can go back to the videos if you need and you have other togs to talk to afterwards.
Heather Litwiller
Biggest win is definitely the ease I feel approaching newborn sessions now. The academy has given me back the confidence to conquer my true passion — families and newborns!
There’s no denying it’s a big investment, but it’ll pay you back infinitely in not only confidence but the income and skill set to offer a pure luxury experience to your clients!
Victoria Owens
I had no idea how to do one or what to do when I started and once I could see and act it out myself it was effortless and easy and gave me such a newfound confidence during the shoot I never knew I had - as a result I’m now booking more newborn shoots than before because people can now see the type of photos I can produce for them.
Louise Ashdown
Sophie gives the advice and encouragement to be able to achieve your goals & KNOW YOUR WORTH the confidence has lead to me gaining newborn clients which has meant the course has already paid for itself.
Georgia Crowder
Daisy Belle
My business only started at the start of the year and doing the course has helped me to set up a great foundation. I feel so much more confident approaching sessions with the newborn workflow and teachings from the other modules. My client experience has also started off as a great one, which is invaluable.
Investing in yourself always pays off. Sophie is a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic mentor. If you are starting out, I would recommend jumping in.
