a coaching program for photographers and creative small business professionals
COACHING
My coaching program is for professional photographers and other creative small business owners who are needing to take hold of the overwhelm in their businesses, develop priorities and find direction, receive a little bit of accountability and get an overall kick in the pants to get out there and make the things they want to make happen, happen.
who is this program for?
MY NAME IS CHEYENNE
I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, love blankets and salted caramel anything and am so grateful for this life that I’ve been given.
It was April of 2007 that I photographed my first ever engagement session. I was both terrified and wildly excited that someone was allowing me to use my new camera on something other than inanimate objects around my apartment. I’m pretty sure I shot the entire session in auto mode, had absolutely no idea how to use light effectively and posed the couple awkwardly at times.
And yet, something inside of me just knew that I was made for this work.
Ever since that day, I have poured myself into learning my craft and eventually creating a six-figure income. I’m also not too shy to say that I fully believe that we provide the best client experience around. :) But hear me…those things didn’t come overnight and they didn’t come without a ton of honest-to-goodness hard work. I googled, took classes, attended workshops and networking events, shot a ton, watched tutorials, read blog posts…and on and on and on.
I’m a wife, mama of 3, professional photographer and business coach.
Overtime, I taught myself how to:
• Leverage my web presence to attract and book my ideal client.
• Streamline my administrative systems and workflow to increase productivity and efficiency, giving me more time to spend with my young family.
• Develop a client experience that is unparalleled, which creates raving fans of my business.
• Brand my business in a way that was representative of my work and my personality, while attracting my ideal client.
• Pose my clients in a way that feels natural, comfortable.
• Consistently develop annual and monthly goals and action plans.
• Run a meeting with a prospective client and move them from consult to booking.
A few years ago I decided to take all that I had learned and began offering coaching sessions to help other photographers grow their own businesses, which has also expanded to help other creative small business professionals. I do this work because I love it. I really love it. I love helping others to get organized and motivated, improve their systems, get more clients, increase profits and find some sense of work/life balance.
Serving others through my coaching program has become such a joy in my life.
Preliminary
Prior to our session date, I provide an in-depth online assessment questionnaire to assist you in determining the state of your business. It also helps me to plan for our time together, making it as personal and specific to your needs as I can.
Coaching Session(s)
The majority of our time together will be spent discussing and answering any of your questions in three main focus areas of your choosing. Each session will end with the development of an action plan with specific steps toward reaching your goals.
The focus areas discussed vary depending on each individual coaching session, as each business owner has different needs and problems that need solving, therefore, requires a customized plan of attack.
HOW IT WORKS
Potential topics include:
• Branding
• Marketing
• Client Experience
• Industry Relationships
• Building Community
• Work/Life Balance
• Vision Planning
• Web Presence
• Administrative/Systems (managing email, managing clients,

• Photographer Specific (posing, using light, editing, shooting technique, workflow, portfolio review, etc.)
