Introducing PRO LAB.

 

Over the past few years, one thing has become painfully obvious to me — full-time professional photographers have almost nowhere to go for real business support.

We exist in a space where it feels like once you become a working photographer, you're expected to figure the rest out on your own.
There is no system.
There is no mentorship.
There is no room to talk openly about struggles, business problems, or what is really going on behind the curated portfolios and highlight reels.

I have seen it firsthand coaching inside my Accelerator program, where I meet with serious emerging photographers 4 times a month on Zoom.

Those conversations are raw, honest, and solution-focused.
And now, I've opened up this exclusive global group of photographers to full-time pro shooters with 3+ years of full time experience so you can benefit from these weekly calls and help with your work and business.

This doesn't exist anywhere. That's why I've launched PRO LAB.

What is PRO LAB?

 

PRO LAB is a private weekly business lab for working photographers.
It’s a consistent, structured, and safe space where full-time photographers can:

  • Talk through business pain points

  • Solve real-world problems with guidance and experience

  • Share wins, losses, and lessons learned

  • Get out of isolation and into a growth-minded community

  • Stay sharp and stay competitive in a changing market

Every week, I’ll host a live Zoom session focused specifically on the challenges and opportunities of working professional photographers.
No fluff. No sugarcoating. No beginner advice.
Real, tactical conversations for people whose rent, mortgage, and lifestyle depend on their ability to make pictures and run a business.

 Why I Created PRO LAB

Because it’s lonely out here.
Even after 34 years in this business, I still feel it sometimes.
And the truth is, professional photographers need support just as much — if not more — than emerging ones.

We deal with bigger stakes, bigger risks, and more pressure.
Clients expect more.
Budgets are tighter.
Markets are shifting faster.
And the people around us often have no idea what the weight of a creative career really feels like.

PRO LAB is my way of giving full-time photographers what we’ve always needed but never had:

  • Consistency

  • Strategy

  • Accountability

  • A place to be understood without having to "explain" your career

 

I need in.

Who PRO LAB is For

     

The Professional Photographers support system you've always needed.

  

  • Full-time photographers who make the majority of their income through photography

  • Working photographers who want to grow, not plateau

  • Professionals who crave consistent, high-level business support

  • Creatives tired of trying to do it all alone without feedback or guidance

  • Those who are serious about long-term success, not just short-term survival

 

What You’ll Get in PRO LAB

  • Weekly Zoom Calls: Focused on real-world issues, business strategies, marketing, client management, pricing, negotiation, and career longevity.

  • Hot Seat Coaching: Bring your challenges and get live, tactical advice directly from me.

  • Accountability Check-Ins: Stay focused on growth, not just staying busy.

  • Peer Connections: Meet other photographers at your level who get it — without competition, ego, or judgment.

  • Ongoing Mindset Work: Stay mentally strong in a business that constantly tests you.

 

The Vision for PRO LAB

My goal is simple:

Continue to grow the support system for full-time photographers that I wish had existed earlier in my career. This is not another webinar.

It’s not another pre-recorded course.
It’s live.
It’s intimate.
It’s business therapy for serious photographers.

I need this. Now.

🚀 10 Reasons Why You Need Pro Lab. 

 

1. Photography is a Lonely Business
Once you become a full-time photographer, the support system disappears. PRO LAB gives you a consistent space to connect, vent, and solve problems with people who understand exactly what you’re going through.

2. You Need a Place to Talk About Business, Not Just Pictures
Making great pictures is only part of the game. Running a successful photography business is a different animal. PRO LAB is where you sharpen the business side of your craft, so you can stay profitable, not just talented.

3. Weekly Accountability is a Game-Changer
Showing up every week forces you to stay in momentum. It’s too easy to drift when you work alone. PRO LAB makes sure you stay focused on the moves that grow your business, not just keep you busy.

4. No One Else is Doing This for Full-Time Photographers
There are a million beginner courses and masterminds.
There are almost zero real, tactical support systems for working photographers who already made the leap.
PRO LAB was built to fill that gap.

5. You Need Real-Time, Tactical Advice
Business problems change fast. You can’t always wait for a course module or a forum reply. In PRO LAB, you get live coaching and real-world solutions to problems that are happening right now.

6. Isolation Will Kill Your Growth
You might be good enough to survive alone.
But survival is not growth.
Without community, without feedback, without being pushed, you slowly shrink — even if you don't notice it happening.
PRO LAB keeps you moving forward.

7. Your Business Problems Are Unique — You Need Custom Solutions
Every photography business is different.
Cookie-cutter advice will not get you to the next level.
Inside PRO LAB, you’ll get tailored feedback for your situation, your goals, and your market.

8. Markets are Changing Faster Than Ever
AI. Economic shifts. Market saturation.
If you’re not evolving, you’re falling behind.
PRO LAB keeps you sharp, relevant, and ready to adapt while everyone else is scrambling.

9. You’ll Make Better Decisions, Faster
Instead of wasting weeks or months second-guessing yourself, you’ll be able to bring questions, offers, ideas, and strategies to the table and get clear, experienced feedback in real time.

10. Success is Way More Fun When You’re Not Doing It Alone
Building a successful photography business is hard.
It’s even harder when you feel like no one understands your world.
PRO LAB gives you the community, support, and energy you need to win — and actually enjoy the ride.
