You will also have the option to associate shoot or second shoot for me when needed!

As an educator and someone who used to be a beginner, I believe that growing does not have to be a fast process.

When my daughter was only about a month old, I wanted so many pictures of her so badly. The photographer we had do our maternity & newborn session was INCREDIBLE, but we couldn’t afford it. My husband was the only one working, we lived in a small apartment in Eugene, and we were brand new parents. I was laying with my daughter one day and remembered that I had a little camera in the closet from when I wanted to be a photographer years prior. I packed up my new baby, went to target, and got a bunch of little $1 pumpkins (shout out to the bullseye areaaaa). I went home and set up a little basket and put her in it. From that moment on, I said “hmmm I think I can do this!” The pictures were awful...But they led me right here.

The next few months I spent my time aggressively googling, following photographers that inspired me, and doing endless model calls. I couldn’t afford a mentorship so I had to teach myself. I always saw education ads that started with “How I Hit 6 Figures in My First Year.” For so many...especially parents, that just is not obtainable. It took PLENTY of trial and error and so many times of learning the hard way. Over time, I have learned that steady growth is more my style. I didn’t have time to dedicate thousands of hours and money to hit that number my first year. I have kids. I have a family. I have other obligations. In my first five years I took my income $18k to $150k. It is possible. My job is to make the growth for you so much easier and so much faster. I never would’ve imagined I would be here, and now it's your turn.

I will cut the bullshit for you here. I am a huge believer that in order for this mentorship to work for you, you have to work for it. I can give you ALLLL the magic tricks and all the information but this WILL NOT work unless you work for it. Plain and simple. You cannot expect business to magically come to you because it won't. Something I will not waste my time on is people who just are not willing to put in the work.

This industry is not just photography. It is not easy. We are in a very saturated market full of a million other people who want to "make it." So my question for you is how hard will you work for it? Do you even want it?

& If you said "fuck yeah I want it", please apply.

"I first met Brit when she did my engagement photos nearly five years ago. At the time, I had been thinking about starting a business, but it wasn’t until I started searching for my own wedding photographer that the dream of becoming a photographer really started to feel possible. I had always been too nervous to take the leap. I didn’t think I was tech-savvy enough, and honestly, just trying to understand the difference between DSLR and mirrorless cameras felt overwhelming enough.

During my grad session (which I also did with Brit), I remember mentioning that I had bought a used camera off Facebook Marketplace and was thinking about starting a “little side hustle.” Brit was so encouraging and told me I should apply for her wedding internship. I still remember how nervous I was filling out the application, not wanting to get my hopes up in case it didn’t work out. But somehow, I was chosen and it was the best thing I ever did.

Brit has truly taught me everything I know about photography. She’s helped me build my business from the ground up. I was able to go full time just two years into running my business, and while it felt like a financial stretch at first, I’m now officially halfway through my first wedding season and booked out weeks in advance, with my next free Saturday not being until mid-October (side note: it’s only halfway through July!).

None of this would have been possible without Brit’s endless support. She’s taught me how to scale my business, how to market myself, how to shoot in both harsh and low light, she even designed my logos and website. She has answered endless questions, told me everything she knows that could possibly help me and allowed me build a beautiful portfolio while working alongside her! I wholeheartedly believe I wouldn’t be where I am today without her and I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about starting a photography business interns with Brit!"
