DBP Coaching Experience

March 18 officially kicked off The DBP Coaching Experience.  I actually had two sessions that weekend so I was super excited to get things started and get past the hump of having my initial sessions out of the way.  In case you weren’t aware I am now adding photography coaching sessions to my brand of business.  Over the last few years I’ve been asked by up and coming photographers questions on different subjects concerning their own business or craft.  Questions like what lens do I like to shoot with, how do I get my images so crisp, how did I find my ideal client, etc.  I thought to myself the way that I can be the most effective for any photographer looking to grow their business is to create a course where I can talk to them face to face, one on one, and let them pick my brain.  In February I promoted my coaching sessions, offering an early bird discount for anyone that booked their session during that month and then began to schedule sessions for March and beyond.

My first session was with Izzy and we were both nervous with how things were going to go.  Thankfully it went better than I’m sure either of us expected.  Izzy is new to the Carolinas so it was fun to get to know her a little bit before beginning our session.  When I first created the course I felt like two hours was more than enough time for the Pick Your Brain portion of the session, but I was surprised to find out how quickly that time went by!  We managed to get all of Izzy’s important questions answered as well as glossing over the Coaching Session Guide which I provide to each client.  After enjoying a yummy lunch we then moved things to downtown Rock Hill for her branding and headshot photos which is included in the In Person Coaching Session package.

 

 

 

 

At first she seemed a bit shy in front of the camera.  Having bystanders constantly walk past you will definitely do that.  But once she warmed up to it she was a natural!  The camera definitely loves her.  We had fun capturing some brand images for her as well as practicing shooting.  I think she took a lot of knowledge away from the field training portion of her session.  I’m super excited to see where her business will take her and am so glad that she’s in the Rock Hill area so that we can make plans to get together in the future as well!  And if you’re interested in a coaching session for yourself then I would love for you to reach out to me.  Investing in yourself and your brand is the beginning of the business you’ve always imagined for yourself.
