Caryn Scanlan Photography offers family photography mentorships to photographers and customizes them to drill down to the specifics that you need to take your sessions to the next level, and to offer something incredible to your clients.
Why a Family Photography mentorship?
There is so much more in each one of us as creatives that just needs to be given the tools (or even sometimes just permission!) to burst out and be seen.
I have been so blessed to have people I trust pour into me and coax out the best in me. In taking leaps of faith, guided by my own mentors I have learned and grown beyond my wildest dreams.
One of my favorite things, and a skill I have exercised in my business and other areas of my life, is to bring out the unique beauty in each person I have the joy of working with. It’s there! It just needs to be given a chance to flourish and grow.
I listen to what you need and create a unique experience for you so that you can stand out from the crowd.
An incredible opportunity for
1:1 Mentoring
in New England will help you stand out from the crowds of photographers as you share your unique fingerprint.
There is so much more in each one of us that just needs to be given the tools (or even sometimes just permission!) to burst out and be seen.
My experience in photographing families from good friends to top sportsmen and women from the Boston Bruins, and Olympic Figure Skaters means I’ve seen it all!
Uniquely, each mentorship is tailor-made for you based on what you’d like to learn, and what you need to take your art and your business to the next level. One of my favorite things, and a skill I have exercised in this and other areas of my life, is to bring out the unique gifts in each person. They‘‘s‘re there! They just need to be given a chance to flourish and grow.
Photography Mentoring is available for family, maternity or newborn photography (or a remote business option) – we will discuss business and/or technical aspects and practice based on what you need. I specialized in Newborn Photography from the beginning and trained in safety and best practices. Consequently I have a lot of knowledge to pass on that will allow you to start your business off on the right foot, or to identify areas that could be holding you back. An obvious growth point from Newborn Photography is childhood and family photography!
This is what is included…
Connect through Zoom to set the foundation
This mentorship is about you. I’ll spend time listening to how you want to grow, what your dreams and hopes for your business are, and how I can best help you. That will drive and direct exactly what we focus on for your mentorship, and perhaps give you some things to work on to prepare for our time together.
On the day of the mentorship
We’ll meet beforehand for coffee to chat more in person and reassess how things have gone since we last connected. This is an opportunity to chat more in-depth, as well as get to know each other further!
Your mentorship session
I will select a model family or newborn to photograph at one of my MA locations, and we will shoot side by side in order to achieve your goals, whether it be learning about lighting, composition, portfolio-building…whatever your focus needs to be.
If you would prefer to shoot in your own area, I will arrange a model session for your location. (Travel fees apply.)
Post-shoot dinner & editing
After the session we’ll head out for dinner (on me!) and go through your images together. We can edit a few samples and go over any last questions you may have.
What does a Family Photography Mentoring Day look like?
The Mentorship Day will be customized based on your needs as we chat during our Zoom call and dig into what you want to learn and grow in. For example:
01.
Afternoon
For summer sessions with sunset around 8pm:
- 16:00 — Meet for coffee and chat
- 1.5 hrs before sunset — Meet with Model Family
02.
Session
Hands on
- 16:00 — Meet for coffee & chat
- 1.5 hours before sunset — Meet client
- 1 hr before sunset — Begin Family Session
03.
Post-Session
Wind down
- Post-session: If it’s not too late we can do dinner, a couple of sample edits and debrief. If it’s too late for that, we’ll coffee over Zoom on a future date!
Experience the whole process of dealing with a client by joining me on our Model Client’s experience from start to finish.
Sometimes it’s helpful to see how to use the light at locations to you available to you, and other times you want to see an established location in action and how to apply principals anywhere. It’s up to you! (Travel fees may apply)
I have so many stories and experiences that I have learned from to pass on to you! Learn from my growth journey.
This isn’t a cookie cutter course where only 1/2 is relevant to you – we’ll make sure it’s all exactly what you need.
Over a decade of experience in editing means I have a lot to pass on to you! Excellent editing sets you apart from everyone else. It brings the polish.
Follow up Zoom to debrief further and answer questions after you have had time for things to sink in,
My One on One Mentoring Session with Caryn Scanlan Photography has exceeded all of my expectations from initial contact and beyond the mentoring day.
Caryn has been an open book. Additionally, she spent the time before our mentoring day working through my current workflow, website and catered my day around what I was looking to get out of our time together. From the moment I drove into her driveway, we connected instantly and began working non-stop for the entire day. I felt free to ask any question that I had and there was no hesitation on Caryn’s part to fully answer each and every one (and there were A LOT of questions!).
Caryn made me feel at home and put in perspective where my focus should be to succeed. I am in touch with Caryn often to check in and keep on track with my action list. It was well worth the money, my time and travel and I am looking forward to taking my business to the next level and using what I learned to make my client experience the best!
