MENTORSHIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Hey, Saf here! Whether you’re just getting started, feeling stuck, or ready to level up — I’m here for you.
My mentorships are built around practical strategies, mindset breakthroughs, and creative guidance. I take a whole-life, “from the inside out” approach to helping people find clarity in their goals, build the confidence to pursue them, and use the right tools to achieve them. From finding your niche to balancing your life and business — I’ll share everything I’ve learned from running an adventure-driven, sustainable photography business (while continuing to love and live life fully).
Together, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters: building a business that supports the life you want — creatively, financially, and personally.
MINI MENTORSHIP SESSION + PORTFOLIO/WEBSITE REVIEW
1 hour — $600 (add extra hours for $600/hour)
(via Zoom or in-person in Culver City, CA)
A focused, power-hour to tackle exactly what you need — whether that’s a portfolio/website review or diving into 1-2 key areas of your business:
+ How to identify and reach your target audience
+ Client communication workflow
+ Editing consistency and workflow
+ Posing + directing
+ Creating a vision and goals that aligns with your values + lifestyle goals
+ Building a financially and mentally sustainable business
+ Tapping into the luxury or adventure elopement space
+ Location scouting — one of my favorite things to teach!
This is a great way to dip your toes into mentorship, come away with my most valuable business tools and resources, and see if we’re a good fit!
THE QUARTERLY MENTORSHIP
3-month commitment
90-minute sessions once a month — $1800
90-minute sessions twice a month — $3300
(via Zoom or in-person in Culver City, CA)
This option builds in accountability — because real progress takes time. Each month, we’ll tackle different topics or go deep on one major area. I’ll assign you tools and “homework” to keep you moving forward between sessions. Plus, you’ll get text access to me for quick SOS moments when you’re stuck or need advice.
+ Optional add-on: A couple’s shoot IRL (Malibu or LA): $500 for one shoot or $1200 for a monthly shoot
DESTINATION MENTORSHIP
+ SMALL-GROUP WORKSHOPS
One-time full-day or multi-day mentorships — price varies
If you’re dreaming of photographing epic adventure elopements, destination weddings, or simply want to feel more confident traveling for work — this is for you. We’ll deep-dive into:
+ Location scouting
+ Landing destination gigs
+ Travel logistics + workflow
+ Permitting for national parks
+ Destination elopement/wedding client management
+ Making destination work sustainable (financially + creatively)
With experience traveling to 50 countries across 6 continents photographing weddings and elopements around the world, this is what sets my soul on fire and gets me so stoked to teach— and I can’t wait to help you make destination work part of your reality.
Starting at $2500 for California locations — custom pricing for bigger, dreamier locations (Patagonia, anyone?)
Bring a friend! Destination mentorships are for 1-3 photographers — split the cost and make it an epic, shared experience.
✅ Optional add-on: Pair this with any local or Zoom mentorship for extra support
DEEP DIVE MENTORSHIP SESSION + PORTFOLIO/WEBSITE REVIEW
2-3 hours — $1200 (add extra hours for $400/hour)
(via Zoom or in-person in Culver City, CA)
Let’s go all-in on your business and creative process. This session is tailored to you. We'll tackle whatever you need most:
+ All the topics from the Mini Mentorship (see above)
+ Space for more personalized deep dives and brainstorming
This also includes an optional portfolio/website review — I’ll walk you through it live during our call. Bring all your questions; nothing’s off the table!

This is the most personalized, high-impact mentorship I offer. Over 6 months, I’ll pour everything I know into helping you build a strong, sustainable, thriving business — creatively and financially. You’ll walk away with a clear roadmap, ongoing support, and the confidence to handle anything that comes your way.
