Empowering Others: From Artistry to Entrepreneurship
In my journey as a photographer, I've come to cherish not just the art of capturing moments but also the business acumen required to thrive in this industry. I've found profound fulfillment in both aspects of the craft. Sharing my knowledge, experience, and insights with other photographers on their own entrepreneurial journey comes in a close second.
Whether you are a photographer seeking guidance on workflow optimization, understanding your worth, pricing strategies, file management, refining your brand experience, honing your artistic voice, or delving into the world of prints and albums, I'm here to assist you.
My mentoring sessions are ideal for you if you resonate with or seek guidance for any of the following needs:
Streamlined workflows
You're seeking to craft organizational workflows that not only serve your clients but also afford you more time to indulge in your passions and spend quality moments with your loved ones.
empowerd pricing
You're in need of guidance to comprehend your financial metrics and assign proper value to your expertise, empowering you to confidently set fees that sustain your business and safeguard your creative vitality.
Boundaries for Balance
You recognize the importance of setting boundaries on your time to prevent burnout and preserve your enthusiasm for your craft.
Define & Pursue Your Purpose
You find yourself grappling with unique challenges and yearn for trustworthy guidance and unwavering support until resolution is achieved.
Prints & Albums Integration
You aspire to integrate prints and albums into your business model but require assistance navigating the process and determining appropriate pricing strategies.
One onOne
Sessions
I hold a deep appreciation for the one-on-one learning model as it offers a unique opportunity to delve deeply into your specific needs and goals, fostering an environment where tangible progress can be made. While group sessions have their merits, they often lack the personalization necessary to address the nuances of each individual's situation and desired outcomes.
By providing personalized attention, I can tailor my guidance to align with your unique circumstances, aspirations, and vision for your business. This individualized approach ensures that every mentoring session is wholly dedicated to your growth and success, empowering you to take meaningful action toward achieving your goals.
How it works
Once you secure your session, you'll be sent a scheduling link to pick a date and time for your mentoring session.
Before your session, you'll receive a questionnaire to outline your objectives, ensuring that your mentoring session remains focused on your needs and desired outcomes, thereby maximizing our time together.
Meetings are conducted over Zoom, allowing for convenient and accessible communication. Sessions are recorded for your reference, providing you with the opportunity to revisit our discussions whenever needed.
Following your mentoring session, I'll provide you with a concise overview of our conversation and the actionable steps we outlined for your business. Plus, I'll be accessible via email support for 30 days to assist you as you begin implementing the discussed ideas and changes.
Confidentiality is paramount in our partnership. Any information shared during our conversations, as well as proprietary insights about your business, remain strictly confidential. I request the same level of discretion and confidentiality in return.

What to expect
Support & Empathy
As your mentor, I offer unwavering support and guidance. While I may not have all the answers, I am dedicated to helping you find solutions and overcome challenges. I provide honest and empathetic feedback, drawing from my own experiences without judgment, to assist you on your journey to success.
My purpose is to help you build the business that you envision so you can serve your clients in a manner that aligns with your own strengths, goals, and brand. I will not give you a straightforward, step-by-step roadmap—because no journey to success is straight. Instead, I will walk alongside you on the journey you are creating for yourself.

Email template for a difficult conversation
Occasionally, we encounter prospective clients who may not fully grasp the intricacies that influence our pricing structure, and their objections can sometimes catch us off guard.
While I typically opt not to engage with these objections directly, there are moments when I see them as valuable teaching opportunities. That's why I've crafted a concise yet informative email that I can readily share when the need arises.
Feel free to utilize this email as is or tailor it to align with your personal style and preferences. It's my pleasure to offer this resource to you.
About
Shannon-May
Hi, I'm Shannon-May, an award-winning photographer based in New Brunswick, Canada, renowned for my artistic and documentary-style approach to preserving memories.
With over 12 years of experience as both a photographer and entrepreneur, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to those aspiring to forge a sustainable career as a creative entrepreneur.
I've cultivated my business on pillars of professionalism, genuine kindness, authenticity to my creative spirit and purpose, transparent communication, and perhaps, at times, a touch too much perfectionism.
And last year, a diagnosis of ADHD has brought newfound clarity and understanding to my life. This journey of self-discovery has taught me to embrace what I once perceived as flaws as the very strengths that make me unique.
