In the Fearless Focus mastermind & mentorship program
you’re empowerED to reach your food photography business goals!
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE!
Maybe you have a supportive partner or incredible friends, but often they simply don’t get what it’s really like being a creative business owner - the ups, the downs, the decision fatigue and the wins! That’s where the support of other photographers, bloggers and content creators in your mastermind group comes into play!
They know exactly how you feel and are there to support you to aim higher, feel listened to and find solutions to any stumbling blocks you may encounter on your photography and content creation business journey!
PERMISSION TO PUT YOUR Business GOALS FIRST!
Got lots of passion, big dreams and ambitions, but unsure quite how to make them come true? Getting distracted or putting other demands before your photography and blogging business needs?
In the 1-on-1 sessions you’ll be empowered to prioritise your business development, find clarity and and identify a roadmap that will set you up for business success!
Can we talk about money?
Feeling stuck cuz you’re unsure how to price your services? Can’t shake the feeling you’re undercharging for your beautiful and amazing photos?
Here’s the thing - pricing is HARD, partly because there is no one-size-fits-all formula, partly because there are so many doubts and insecurities attached to pricing, know what I mean? Now the question is, are you open to delve deep, use the resources provided in this program to start allowing yourself to get paid what you deserve?
Find MORE clients, the right way.
Perhaps you’ve pitched a number of brands, but haven’t heard back, even after following up with them - twice! Maybe you’ve worked so hard on becoming a better photographer or content creator, but still don't quite know how to market your photography business and find the ideal clients you’re after? There is a different way…
Get guidance on how to enhance your portfolio to attract the clients you want, get feedback on your pitching e-mails and learn different marketing strategies, so your dream clients find you!
Step into your role as CEO of your food blogging, FOOD CONTENT CREATION & FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY business!
Here’s what’s included in the 6-month Fearless Focus mastermind & 1-on-1 business coaching program…
✔ 12 90-minute monthly virtual mastermind group calls.
During out bi-weekly group mastermind calls I teach on a specific topic such as pricing, developing a strong social media strategy or working with brands. We also hold ‘hot seats’ where you will have the opportunity to talk through a stumbling block that are getting in the way of building the successful business you want and get feedback, ideas and support from myself and your peers.
✔ 3 60-minute monthly virtual one on one BUSINESS COACHING sessions.
You can use the one on one coaching sessions in whatever way you’d find most helpful; this may include getting personalised feedback on your professional photography work to date, exploring how to manage self doubt or imposter syndrome, finally getting clarity on what you really want or developing an action plan that can help you succeed in meet your revenue goals.
✔ Weekly VOXER office hours.
If you have a doubt or concern that’s stopping you from moving your photography business forward in between our business coaching calls, there’s no need to hold on to these until our next coaching session. Instead, you can leave quick voice notes and questions and get a response within 48 hours! That way you avoid wasting time and instead can take the next step needed to make your business thrive!
✔ Weekly email support.
Whether you want feedback on an email you received from an ideal client, or you’d like me to provide you with constructive criticism on your brand new website copy, it can be done! You’re welcome to email weekly for support, accountability and a fresh perspective.
✔ Access to a private COMMUNITY group.
Imagine having a community of like-minded, ambitious, supportive and talented creatives who hold you accountable and make you feel more confident and less alone on your own business journey? The private community group offers just that, so you don’t feel alone in between our group calls.
✔ Year-long access to replays of the group calls.
Our online communication page will be a content library that contains all the recording of the group mastermind calls, meaning you can rewatch sessions at your heart’s content or catch up on group calls you’ve missed!
Some of the 6 key business topics we’ll cover during our group calls:
Our group mastermind calls will last approximately 90 - 120 minutes during which I’ll teach on the topics outlined below.
You’ll also have lots of time to ask questions and raise any challenges you’ve encountered on your journey during dedicated ‘hot seats’.
1. Goal Setting
2. Social Media STRATEGY
3. PRICING
4. INCOME DIVERSIFICATION
5. EMAIL MARKETING

‘‘That was such a helpful mentoring session we just had, wow!
I feel seen, heard, understood, and encouraged. I was so stuck trying to find a route that is unique to me and what I feel I have to give and you have really helped me figure out how to find it. I love all your ideas, they really align with where I want to go, and I can't wait to get started! Thank you so much, a thousand times over.’’

Want to join this season’s 6-month Fearless Focus Mastermind?
A high touch, high support 6-month close knit and intimate mastermind and one on one coaching program like this one is an investment of time, energy and money. It’s also an incredible opportunity to put your personal development and the growth of your business front and centre and push through income barriers!
My question to you is, why not give your food photography or food blogging business the support it needs to thrive like never before? Why not see what’s possible when you receive clear guidance from a photography business coach on how to earn a really good income doing what you love? Why not experience what can happen when you surround yourself with a mentor and peers who believe in you and continuously reassure you that you are capable of building a profitable business (even when you doubt yourself)? Why not create this opportunity for yourself?
WHO IS THE FEARLESS FOCUS MASTERMIND PROGRAM FOR?
✔ You’re a food photographer or food blogger already working part- or full-time in the industry or well on your way to doing so!
✔ You have experience working with clients and/or brands, but are now looking to increase your income, attract better and more clients as well as take on challenging, interesting and exciting work projects.
✔ You’re open to new ideas and new ways of approaching your creative business. You don’t know everything yet, but are curious to learn from a mentor as well as your peers!
✔ You’re excited to share your knowledge and experience in the group mastermind calls and to contribute to your peers’ learning opportunities in the same way that they are to contributing to yours.
✔ Your determination to put your learning into action is palpable, yet you are realistic about the time and commitment required to obtain the business results you aspire to achieve.
✔ Like most creatives, you’re busy doing all the things, but you’re determined to carve out space for your growth and the evolution of your business.
✔ You are available for a 15-minute interview and happy to complete a short application form to ascertain that this mastermind program is indeed the right fit for you.
WHO IS THE FEARLESS FOCUS MASTERMIND NOT FOR…
✖ You have no ambitions right now to do food photography, food content creation or food blogging professionally.
✖ You have not yet had the opportunity to work with clients or brands in your role as a food photographer, food creator or food blogger.
✖ You have read all the books, listened to all the podcasts and tried all the things and are doubtful that there is anything new to learn when it comes to running a profitable business.
✖ Everything you do know, you keep close to your heart; you’re nervous and unsure about sharing your insights with ‘the competition’ in your mastermind group.
✖ You’re waiting for the ‘perfect’ time to start working on the business side of your food photography and are unsure when, if ever that moment will arrive.
✖ A 15-minute interview and application is something you’d love to do, but simply don’t have the time for right this moment.
HOW MANY CREATIVES CAN JOIN THE MASTERMIND?
The Fearless Focus mastermind and mentoring program is the only way to closely work with me on your food photography or food blogging business. Thus I’m committed to making this high touch, high impact program a special experience! That means that I want to be fully present for each and every mastermind member and I can only do that if I keep this group small and intimate. Hence, I can only make approximately 12 spots available for the Fearless Focus mastermind and mentoring program when doors next open! Might one of those spots have your name on it?
Now, are you excited (and a touch nervous) to take the next step forward?

FAQ ABOUT THE Fearless Focus MASTERMIND
-
Calls take place at 7pm GMT (or BST) on Tuesdays and last approximately 90 - 120 minutes. 2025 mastermind dates will be announced after doors open for enrolment.
-
All group calls are recorded using ZOOM and the recording will be made available in our exclusive community group where you can watch and rewatch the group calls as often as you like!
-
You can schedule your 1-on-1 call with me on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. There are a number of time slots to choose from, so no matter which time zone you live in, we can make it work! That said, let’s talk about your specific needs in our discovery call to ensure the program schedule works for you!
-
Though I recommend having bi-monthly 1-on-1 calls for momentum and exponential growth in your food photography or food blogging business, I appreciate life’s busy and sometimes a bit hectic! Hence you have a full year to complete all 3 of your 1-on-1 sessions, thereafter, they expire.
-
I appreciate I’m not the right business coach for everyone and this program isn’t right for everyone! Hence, you have 10 days to change your mind and leave the program if you wish. You’ll receive a full refund, minus a £250 administration and processing fee.
-
My aim with this program is to empower you to make your investment back - and then some! That’s because having the right marketing and business strategies will allow you to increase your profit, to work with more and better clients, and to use your time more effectively and efficiently.
Though I am cautious about making any promises or giving guarantees, most past mentoring clients have seen their income grow considerably, many have reached their goals quicker than going it alone and completed key tasks in their business they’d dreamed of for years, but didn’t think possible.
Now, what could be possible for you, what rewards could you reap if you made this investment in your business?
P.S. I would never advise you to invest in your personal development as a small business owner if it doesn’t feel right for you or if you can’t afford it. There’s never pressure to purchase, instead I encourage you to follow your gut and make a decision that feels good!
-
How about we chat it through during the discovery call to see if indeed you’re not quite ready yet or if that voice of self doubt is stopping you from seizing a beautiful opportunity for growth? In the interim, please rest assured that I’d never wish for you to sign up to a program that isn’t right for you. I suggest you complete the contact form below; once on there we’ll send you further details as well as the opportunity to book yourself in for a discovery call where you can talk through your fears, worries, hopes and ambitions! I’m excited to hear from you.
-
It is my top priority to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to my students and mentees, and I am committed to promoting the fair and equal treatment of everyone who joins my community regardless of race, gender, culture, sexuality, language and disability. I strive to offer accessible and inclusive services, and recognize that some people may require additional support to access my classes and courses; I will do what I can to accommodate your needs and am always open to hearing about them in order to help you establish whether working with me is right for you.
