I'm thrilled to share some fantastic news from my student, Beth!

Just one week after our coaching session, Beth messaged me with excitement, announcing that she'd booked her first newborn shoot with a £600 package. What's truly remarkable is that she accomplished this while still navigating lockdown restrictions in the UK, and her new studio isn't even finished yet!

Rather than letting circumstances hold her back, Beth seized the opportunity to learn and grow during these uncertain times.

Starting her business just three years ago, Beth has dedicated herself to honing her skills, mastering Photoshop, and seeking guidance along the way.

Despite receiving praise from clients, Beth struggled with imposter syndrome, a feeling many of us can relate to.

Early in my career, I experienced similar doubts—it's all too easy to compare ourselves to more established professionals and feel inadequate.

Beth had captured many beautiful images that never made it into her portfolio because she wasn't satisfied with her editing. Achieving the right balance—enhancing an image without overdoing it—proved to be a real challenge, especially when it came to maintaining consistency with whites and skin tones.

That's when Beth discovered my work and reached out for my one on one training and coaching sessions.

Her testimonial speaks volumes: "My mentoring sessions with Shan always exceed my expectations. She is generous with her time and knowledge, inspiring me to push myself and my photography business... further."

I'm delighted to have helped Beth refine her style, providing the encouragement and direction she needed to relaunch her business and pave the way for future growth and success.

Beth, I couldn't be prouder of your achievements. Building a business is never easy, and doing so during a pandemic presents even greater challenges

As the saying goes, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

If we can navigate these rough waters, there's nothing we can't overcome!

Much love,

Shan x
