Create your unique business model and make consistent revenue in your photography business (We're talking high 4-5 figures a month baybee!)
(& avoid being part of the 60% of people who fail within the first 2-3 years of starting a photography business)
Let’s created your strategic individualized business plan & model that will set you up to be a full-time pro- photographer so you can finally hand in your resignation letter.
I want to strategically help you increase your sales in your business so you can start solely focusing on the one thing you love — photography.
You’re doing the most.
You might also already have a demanding 9-5.
You're finding that doing both the business & 9-5 is taxing and unsustainable.
You've probably tried other coaching programs and masterminds, but never felt like they got to the core of your problems or questions or maybe they didn’t push you much further in business
You’ve resorted to books, YouTube, Google, even workshops and conferences trying to find the support and strategies you need to excel, but nothing has allowed you to hit those $5k+ months (yet).
You know something is still missing but you don’t know exactly what.
It's time to stop trying to piece-mill your business together from people who don’t understand the core of your business and what it means to be a successful full-time pro-photographer.
And, not only that, but to have unwavering support from not only fellow photographers similar to you, but someone who learned from some of the best and most successful entrepreneurs outside of the industry, too.
What I want you to know the MOST is that we are very VERY similar!! If I can build a dream life as a pro-photographer, then you can too! TRUST ME.
I've been able to expand my business to double markets, moving from DC to Houston in 2018 and still was able to market and attract ideal clients. And in the height of the pandemic, I still was able to have a six figure year, actually grossing my highest net profit in 2021!
Not only have I been able to grow and run a successful photography business, I also have a special gift of teaching the strategies and tools to others, helping them see massive success as well!
Now, I want to show the next group of pro-photographers how to successfully and strategically create your business. I’m very supportive, uplifting, but will call you out when you’re not living up to what I know you’re capable of (we all need a little tough love sometimes, right?!).
My promise is, I will be a fighter with and for you, and fully ready to support you as you do the HARD WORK.
I’ve coached over 60 photographers to build successful businesses teaching foundations and marketing strategies, and I’d love for you to be next.
Only making inconsistent $1k - $3k months
Uncomfortable selling and promoting your services
Unsure how to properly allocate your business funds properly (taking profits + paying taxes)
Lost on how to hit the $10k mark and accelerate your business growth past your current point with your full-time workload
Not even sure what systems and operations mean, and if you do, they’re basically non-existent and you wouldn’t even know where to start
Clueless on how to formulate a business plan for the next 3-5 years that will set you up for massive growth and recurring 6-figure years.
A busy mom and/or wife (or dad/husband) seeking true balance as a creative entrepreneur and also someone who wants to enjoy life (and not feel like they are working 24/7)
I truly want you to make more money in your business. I want to uplift you to create healthy boundaries with clients and within your business as a whole. I want to empower you to quit your job and go full-time. I want to create a plan with longevity in mind so you can make consistent $10k months while your operations thrive.
I sincerely want you to succeed in this container. I want you to feel confident, inspired, prepared, and supported by the community because I know how tiring it can be to do business alone without support, and it sucks.
Even if you’ve only made $20- $25k this year!
THE MAGIC WILL HAPPEN INSIDE
A 12-month accelerator for advanced wedding & portrait photographers who want to make more consistent money in their business and feel more confident as not just a photographer, but as a CEO!
You’ll learn the advanced strategies, systems, and will have the needed support to simplify and streamline your business operations. Plus, you’ll create a personalized business plan that clearly states your offers and strategic pricing clearly, set client tier qualifications, and master financial best practices so you can thrive with your business.
(And if this language sounds confusing right now, you’re in the right place. THIS has been the missing component to your expedited success.)
Rhea's always checking on me, and it showed me that she genuinely cared about my success.
I knew I was gonna get my investment back because Rhea was gonna make sure I got it back! She has your back for sure! My top month so far has been $7,000, and that is already more than the cost of the program.
Before Elevate, I was shooting 20-25 clients a month for $250-$300, burning out, with no vision of where I wanted my business to be. I was going day by day without a true plan.
Now, I'm intentional with booking clients that align with my values, I'm not afraid of saying my pricing and knowing the value I bring to my clients!
I was feel very discombobulated in business, just all over the place but Rhea was able to help me implement structure & systems in my business to support my growth and demand. Since working with Rhea, I have made more than $12k in my business more than I made last year and am blown away by my growth! I really feel more confident and know that It’s only up from here!
We'll review and reconstruct your offers, systems, and workflows, to ultimately generate more revenue in a more simplified and strategic way using...
THE
3-STEP PROCESS
Setting you up for success off the bat so you will be able to navigate the course effectively.
Ready to properly focus on yourself as the CEO of your business by envisioning the role you want to play in your company? In this module, we’ll cover moving past mindset blocks, the CTFAR model, leveraging the Mindset Model, and more.
In order to effectively show up for your business and your clients, you need to identify your business values, purpose, mission, and long and short-term goals — that’s what we focus on here.
Before you can elevate your offers, you need to reverse engineer them. In this module, you’ll identify your qualifying tiers for clients, create your ideal clients for each qualifying tier, and identify your ideal clients' major needs.
Now that you’ve validated your ICAs, you’ll uncover their cost of doing business, develop a value ladder to calculate pricing, outline departments and offers for each qualifying tier, and develop messaging for each of these offers to use in marketing.
Now it’s time to get into operations! You will know how to summarize the key client touch points within your process, develop a daily workflow to accomplish all tasks and goals, and audit and implement process improvements and systems to optimize workflows.
It’s time to talk money! This module is a financial deep dive — you will be able to comprehend the Profit First Method, develop bookkeeping systems, manage your money to save for taxes, set aside profits, and save for retirement and long-term goals, so your business is set up to take care of YOU.
In this last module, you’ll be able to identify your zone of genius, identify all of the tasks being done in your business, determine what to delegate, and identify the best roles to hire for within your business so you can stick to doing what you do best — photographing.

Where do I begin? Running a business has been a journey for me. There were days when I felt confident and others when I just wanted to give in and throw in the towel. Rhea's Elevate program has been such a blessing to me. The road map that Rhea has helped me create will no doubt lead to great results.
During our encounters, I walk away feeling empowered and reenergized. Long story short, she is the Bomb.com
Rhea has been nothing less than an amazing coach! It’s her down to earth personality mixed with her professional knowledge that makes it so easy and pleasant to work with her.
She helped me with my mindset. This was one of the best investments I made in my business. I would do all over again with no question!
My business was definitely ELEVATED in this program. Rhea got us together and showed us how to really run our business on the back end. From the mindset work, intense modules, networking and sisterhood from the ladies in my cohort, this program is worth it!
I made double my investment back in the first 4 months of the program!

and integrity
This program is specifically created for the advanced photographer who already has a demanding business but knows that the pace they are currently going isn't sustainable nor are they reaching their goals, both tangible & intangible, in the ways that they could.
I want to help other pro-photographers to replace their 9-5 income with their business and still find time to have balance in their personal lives. I want to cultivate the next round of wildly successful wedding & portrait photographers, specifically black women, in their feat to do business the right way.
That means, with care, integrity, high impact, and high-value imagery that honors legacy.
