Emily started with zero experience
“I came into this course with ZERO photography experience. I didn’t even know what an f-stop was. Now I’m confidently shooting cake smash sessions and charging for them. If I can do it, anyone can.”
– Emily R., Austin, TX
Jasmine loves the lessons
“Before this course, the idea of using a ‘real camera’ intimidated me. But the step-by-step camera settings lessons made it simple. Within weeks, I was shooting images that looked like they belonged in a magazine.”
– Jasmine K., Orlando, FL
Here's how the program breaks down...
MODULE 01 & 02
camera gear & shooting in manual mode
Camera gear, recommended lenses, and accessories, shooting in manual mode, camera settings, white balance, and focusing
"I thought I needed expensive gear or a studio to start. Nope! With the affordable set design tips, I built my first backdrop in my living room. Parents were blown away, and I booked two more sessions immediately."
– Laura M., Denver, CO
MODULE 03
lighting
Natural light vs artificial light, working with artificial light, strobes, soft boxes, and umbrellas, and lighting accessories
"I never thought I could actually make money with photography. This course showed me how to price sessions for profit, and my very first paid cake smash covered the cost of the entire course. Totally worth it."
– Sarah B., Nashville, TN
MODULE 04
session how to's & tools
Learn ALL of my Tips & Tricks & Tools I use to ensure each session runs smooth like butter!
"The marketing section was gold. I was nervous no one would book me, but using the strategies inside, I got my first client within DAYS of finishing the course. The demand for these sessions is real — don’t wait too long to jump in."
– Megan L., San Diego, CA
MODULE 05
cake smash session & bonus!
Watch an actual full cake smash session to see the full workflow. And a bonus video is included, "When C*KE hits the fan"
"I loved how nothing felt overwhelming. The workflow templates and checklists took away all the guesswork. I just followed the steps, and suddenly I felt like a professional instead of a beginner fumbling through."
– Alyssa P., Chicago, IL
MODULE 06, 07, & 08
light a set & shooting, workflow/editing, & marketing/business
Using light modifiers and positions on set, keeping baby engaged, posing shot list, workflow and editing a session, client marketing and running your business

– Kayla D., Phoenix, AZ
Rachel is glad she didn't wait
"Honestly, I almost talked myself out of enrolling because I didn’t think I could do it. But spots were filling up, so I jumped in — and I’m SO glad I did. If you’re on the fence, don’t wait. You’ll wish you started sooner."
– Rachel S., Portland, OR
Your dream of becoming a photographer starts now — not “someday.
Skip the trial-and-error and start booking paid sessions in weeks, not years.
Imagine...
this time next month: you’ve photographed your first cake smash, delivered a gallery that makes parents cry happy tears, and collected your very first paycheck as a photographer. That moment of “I actually did it” is closer than you think.
Enrollment is open now — but spots are intentionally limited.
I keep this course small so I can give each student the personal attention and support they need to succeed. Once the doors close, they won’t open again until the next round.
