Ready to Finally Feel Confident Behind the Camera?

You’ve got the camera. You’ve watched the tutorials. But when it’s time to actually use those skills—or talk to a real client—it gets overwhelming fast.

That’s why I created this Starter Hub: a clear, beginner-friendly place to help you move from “Where do I even start?” to “I’ve got this.”

Whether you’re just picking up a camera or prepping for your first paid session, this is your launchpad.
