Where You Can Find Me: 2026
A Speaker Who Teaches What Most People Are Afraid to Say
Photographer. Educator. Business Builder.
Helping creatives break the “starving artist” mindset and build profitable, purpose-driven studios.
MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I'm Elle!
Elle is a full-time photographer, educator, and creative entrepreneur whose work is deeply rooted in storytelling, authenticity, and connection. With a camera in hand since 2014 and a passion for capturing life's most meaningful moments, she has built a thriving In-Person Sales (IPS) studio since 2020—grossing over three-quarters of a million dollars annually for six consecutive years.
Italy is her love language, and travel fuels her soul—but it’s her heart for education and empowering others that truly sets her apart. A wife, mom of three, cat lover, home chef, and wine enthusiast, she’s also on a powerful journey of self-discovery—learning to live fully, freely, and unapologetically as herself.
Through her honest, uplifting teaching style, she’s on a mission to shift mindsets and help fellow creatives break free from the “starving artist” narrative. Whether behind the lens or in front of a room of creative entrepreneurs, she brings a wealth of experience, proven strategies, and a deep belief that abundance is possible when we align passion with purpose.

I Do Things Differently Here
One on One Mentorships Only
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter education. Every photographer’s journey, business, and mindset are different — that’s why I focus on personalized, hands-on mentorship that meets you where you are and moves you forward with clarity and confidence.
Exclusivity In The Industry
I work with a limited number of photographers by design. This allows me to deliver higher-level results, deeper support, and a premium educational experience that respects both your time and your potential.
Small Group Personalized Support
Even in group environments, no one gets lost. My teaching style is built around real interaction, live feedback, and tailored guidance so attendees walk away with actionable strategies, not just motivation.
REAL talk on stage not the fluff
I bring honest, transparent conversations to the stage. The wins, the failures, the money conversations, the mindset shifts — nothing is sugar-coated. I teach what actually works, not what sounds good.
Collaboration With Vendors and Professionals
My relationships with top vendors and trusted professionals give my students real-world access to tools, resources, and behind-the-scenes insight they won’t find in generic education platforms.
Proven Business Builder, Not Just an Artist
I don’t just teach photography — I teach sustainable, profitable business systems. With a full-time studio since 2014 and a thriving IPS model generating consistent high-six-figure annual revenue for multiple years, I help creatives move from “passion projects” to powerful, profitable enterprises.
Does this sound familiar?
Same stories. Same slides. Same recycled advice. The industry is saturated with carbon-copy messaging that leaves photographers inspired for an hour — and stuck for years.
When too many “experts” speak, clarity gets lost. I focus on cutting through the noise with direct, honest strategies that are tested behind the scenes — not just pretty words from the stage.
Business In A Box Mentality: There is no one-size-fits-all blueprint. Reselling the exact same formulas to every photographer creates bland brands and broken businesses.
Don't worry, I'm Not That Educator...
What You’ll Never Hear From Me
“Just work harder and it’ll happen.”
“Charge less to book more.”
“Fake it till you make it.”
I believe in strategy over hustle, value over volume, and truth over performance
