Hi there! Welcome to the Luke & Ashley blog, a journal about our lives, our beautiful couples, and their stories we get to tell. Stay a while and do say hello if you please!
Lately we have been getting asked if we offer Mentoring Sessions. After much success from our Hands On Classes and the all the positive feedback, we have decided to give it a go. We are honored that other creatives/small business owners would come to us for advice.
Finding a mentor in this industry can be kind of scary. I know it was for us. We were blessed to come into this industry when we did.
Leaders are willing to share their knowledge and help the photography industry grow and flourish.
However, the problem that we ran into was finding the right mentor for us. The leaders we looked to were either too busy or just too expensive for us.
We understand that time is money and we respect that.
So we figured it out ourselves. Lots of trial and error. Lots of reading and researching. When we finally had the money we invested into a coaching session with Katelyn James. It was worth every penny. It is amazing what someone sees when they are looking from the outside. Katelyn was able to see things that we didn’t. She was able to give input and advice that propelled our business within a few months. We went from 5 weddings that year to 19 and counting this year.
That coaching session has paid for itself over and over again.
We believe that mentorship is more than just a coaching session. It is a relationship. Our goal would be that we would be approachable.
Willing to share and help when we can. We are seriously honored that others would come to us for mentorship.
And we understand when starting out it can be overwhelming and we would LOVE to help ease that!
What you can expect from a mentoring session with us:

I am a photography that just moved to the area and I am interested in setting up a coaching date. I was wondering when you had available time.
