    Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! It was a perfect day. Honestly, I feel at least 2-3 years ahead of where I would have been if I had just tried to learn this all on my own. One of the first things I told my fiancé as we were leaving, “This was worth every penny!” I had so much fun, and have been working on my setup and “game plan” since I got home. I’m feeling confident and am very excited to see where I can take this business!

    “There are not enough words I could say to recommend a mentoring session with Lindsay. I had very little idea of what I was doing when I showed up to my session, as evidence by my before pictures. Lindsay welcomed me in, immediately got to work, and the day was full of her sharing her knowledge with me. Not only did she help me with newborn photography, she helped me with my overall business plan, pricing, and website. I can say with confidence I would not have the foundation I have without Lindsay’s wisdom, experience, and guidance. We spent 8 hours in person together, and it felt like minutes. She has continued to check in on me and give me feedback which is beyond what I expected.” ~ Tawny
