What are mentoring sessions?
The aim of my mentoring is just that. I want you to invest in your business, invest in what makes you happy & invest in mentoring that you can use from the second we finish our first meeting. I want to target what you need in your business and give you information from my experiences so that you don’t make the same mistakes I have.
Let’s give your business an overhaul & deep dive into it to make sure that you succeed in doing what you love.
What do they include?
I’m an open book in these sessions. There is really nothing off limits. I want to help your business grow without limitations! Some subjects that we can touch are things like:
How I shoot
Gear that I shoot with, what I have found I like / dislike & why.
post production and editing
Social Media
Pricing
Wedding workflow, Back end business, Image backup
contracts and business structure
Client Experience, emails
Albums
Affiliate Discount codes
Potential for on the day live shoot experience
Really nothing is off limits.
Invest in what you love & what makes you happy.
Not only will your business thrive… You will thrive
Hi I’m Matt & this is a little about me, I have been lucky enough to work for myself for around the past 10 or so years. In these 10 years I worked in a various amount of different industries. I hope that by me giving you a bit of info about my past experience with my business on what I have done in the past to get to this point in my career will help you understand a little more about me and my approach to my business & mentoring.
I am a qualified Carpenter/Builder, Personal Trainer, Athletics Coach and of course Wedding & Elopement photographer.
My very first experience in working for myself was when I was about 17/18 years old, at the time I was heavily involved in competing in Athletics. I kind of fell into coaching at my local Little Athletics Center. This one coaching gig on a friday night for a few dollars and a free sausage sizzle turned into me running around 8-10 coaching sessions for around 50 young athletes between the ages of 10 & 16 years old. I was doing this while also completing my carpentry apprenticeship.
I continued to coach for around 5 years & work as a carpenter/builder for around 10 years. Upskilling my athletics coaching to include some Personal Training as well as completing my Builders License. After a while I decided to scale back on my Athletics / Personal training and just work one job for once. I don’t like to do one thing at a time apparently.
Through this entire 10 or so year period I was learning how to use my camera better, how to shoot events, landscapes, really anything and everything. Until one day a friend asked me if I could shoot her wedding… As you can imagine this is a pretty daunting thing to do if you have never shot a wedding before. I said yes, and I guess the rest is history. Here we are today, 5 years later I have shot 200+ weddings, I am full time running my photography business including all aspects of it.
You are probably reading this, thinking this guy is full of himself and asking yourself what is the point of all of this? I am not here to boast or anything like that. The point is, good things take time and we learn from all the experiences. I have made mistakes, I have experimented a lot & I want you to learn from my experiences. When I first started my business I wish I asked for help, I wish I invested in education that would be suitable for me. I wish I had invested in a mentor that would give me real take home value advice to apply to my business.
