Mentoring for photographers
So you are a bit lost on where your business is going, or perhaps you have just started and want to give it the best shot.
I offer mentoring that isn't just a shoot and send you on your way. It is an experience within itself.
I'd love to share my brain with you!
Why my mentoring is different
Because it’s not about making your work look like mine.
Anyone can learn to take a good photo, but what I teach is showing up as yourself and how to share your style, your story and why your experience is gold.
We’ll talk about the things that truly shape your art and most importantly, how to create an incredible experience where your clients feel comfortable and safe to be themselves.
This is about finding your rhythm as both a person and an artist. Learning how to trust yourself, follow your instincts, and create from a place that feels aligned with who you are.
It’s not a formula or a checklist. It’s a conversation.
We’ll work together, so you never feel alone in figuring it all out.
What I offer
1:1 Online Mentoring
A 2-hour one-on-one session where we dive into whatever you need most. Client experience, posing, editing, storytelling, content or workflow.
We’ll chat via video call (coffee highly encouraged) and go through your questions, your challenges, and the goals you’re working towards. You’ll leave with practical steps and clarity on where to head next.
What’s included:
+ Pre-session questionnaire to tailor our chat to you
+ Two-hour personalised session via google meet
+ Honest, thoughtful feedback
+ Creative direction summary and mentor guide after our call
+A new photography BFF who’ll be cheering you on long after our chat
In-Person Mentoring
Spend a half-day with me on the South Coast, diving into every part of your craft.
You’ll get to shoot along side me, see how I connect with my clients and then we’ll debrief it all together. We’ll then work together through editing that session and finish with creating content based on our shoot together.
Ask me anything you need help with!
What’s included:
+ Pre-planning questionnaire so I know exactly what you want to focus on
+ Half-a-day together on the South Coast of NSW (approx. 4–5 hours)
+ Live shoot where you’ll see how I connect, prompt and play with light and movement
+ A relaxed debrief afterwards to chat through everything and answer all your questions
+ Creative direction summary and mentor guide to help you put everything into action
+ A new photography BFF who’ll be cheering you on long after our day together
my Philosophy
This mentoring space isn’t about following trends or doing things the “right” way. It’s about slowing down, tuning in and creating from a place that feels good.
Every chat and light bulb moment comes back to connection, the same kind that guides how I photograph. I believe the best growth comes from honesty and reflection but most of all, learning to trust yourself.
Mentoring isn’t about being an expert. It’s about sharing what I’ve learned through life and helping you find what makes your work and your process feel true to you.
This is a space where you can ask questions, explore ideas and grow in your own time. Somewhere you can feel supported and understood while you build confidence in your voice and your art.
I hope you feel the heart behind this space and that together we create something that feels true to you.

Had the best time this afternoon with Laani, had never met her yet felt so comfortable doing the whole shoot with her! She was helpful in so many ways great at guiding for photos but also great to have a chat with 100% recommend for anyone who’s up for mother daughter photos (or family in general!)

We had such a great experience with Laani! The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend her to any family wanting to capture special memories

She made the whole session feel easy and fun, especially with the kids.
Super personable and kind. We had a great time with her during our sunrise shoot and her sneak peek photos are stunning. She has a great talent.
