Are you ready? Are you sure? This is a big one, so get your creative hats on!
Next week we will be announcing the details of our online mentoring program that will start in January. We have decided that seeing as its the season of giving that we are going to give away one of the spots available for our first mentoring session. There are only 5 spots open for our first session!
Some details on the mentoring (full details will be released next Wednesday)
Our January mentoring session will start January 25th. There will only be 5 spots available (4 after this one is given away). The following topics will be covered:
Style
Creativity
Lighting
Pricing
Marketing
Branding
Maternity & Newborns
Babies
Boudoir
Fusion Slideshows
Social Networking
Products and Sales
Workflow
Who is the mentoring for?
Anyone who wants to take their business to the next level by creating their own style and brand. Natural light photographers who want to learn studio lighting, studio photographers who want to learn more about natural light, those photographers who struggle with or want to grow their business in the direction of newborn, maternity or baby photography.
Who isn’t it for?
Anyone within 200km of Calgary. Unfortunately with the no-holds-barred approach we are taking with the mentoring, we cannot offer it to our local competition. We truly want our local friends to succeed, but what we will be teaching will be things that are specific to our businesses that have made them successful and we just can’t share anything that would be detrimental to our income. That being said, due to the incredible interest from the local photographic community we have some local get-togethers in the works, as well as a one day workshop/pow-wow to be held in Danna’s studio. (Watch for that info in the New Year!)
What will the price be?
The regular price is $1250 USD, but we will be offering an amazing introductory price when the full details are announced.
What do you get?
Our mentoring sessions will run 3 weeks long. During that time with us nothing is off limits. We will have weekly topics, some assignments as well as individual portfolio assessment. We will have the professionally filmed videos for you to view as well. We have an amazing program in the works so we can communicate privately with each of our 5 participants. We are limiting the participants to 5 so we can offer you a lot of support and individualized attention.
Much more info will be posted next week!
OK…so, if you want to win one of the 5 spots available here is what you need to do….
Take a self portrait that incorporates your favorite guilty pleasure. Then post it to your blog and link it here in the comment section before midnight on Tuesday December 15th so we can see what you have done. We will be choosing the winner next Wednesday (December 16th, 2009) when we announce the full details of the mentoring sessions. This will NOT be a random draw, the winner will be chosen by us based on their creativity and effort.
Just for fun we did our own guilty pleasure self portraits. We just did ours quickly, we do expect more effort put into yours…lol
