Photography | Mindset | Business
Visual Voices Collective is a holistic program tailored specifically for emerging photographers and visual storytellers, designed to empower you with the skills and mindset necessary to succeed in your craft and business.
Rooted in the belief that every photographer possesses a unique visual voice, this program aims to guide photographers through their journey of self-discovery, developing photography skills, and entrepreneurial growth. I understand the unique challenges you face, struggling to define your visual voice, attracting the right clients, uncertain of your next steps, and seeking the confidence to truly embrace your creative path. This program is a gentle, nurturing guide that empowers you to find clarity, build your unique style, and leap into realizing your photography career.
I designed this program specifically for sensitive and soulful individuals who crave a deeper, more meaningful approach to their craft. I understand that if you’re drawn to this creative path, you likely feel things deeply, see the world with nuance, and want your work to reflect your heart and soul. This program meets you where you are, with a compassionate, gentle approach that honors your unique sensitivities and creative spirit.
For those who often feel overwhelmed by the traditional, fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, Visual Voices Collective offers a nurturing environment that empowers you to grow at your own pace. I don’t believe in pushing you into formulas or rigid structures; instead, I guide you toward discovering your own way, trusting your instincts, and finding the confidence to express your unique visual voice.
The program includes a rich library of training resources covering three essential pillars: photography, mindset, and business. Through a curated selection of monthly training sessions, you gain access to invaluable insights, strategies, and practical tools to navigate the multifaceted creative landscape of photography and visual storytelling. Every month a new module will be released within these three respective categories. Created from a sensitive and soulful approach, this isn’t a “10 tips” type of program, but rather an introspective as it is an informative program focused on you, your potential, your talent, and your vision for your photography.
You’ll learn the practical, foundational steps every photographer needs, like pricing your work, cultivating a growth mindset, building a portfolio, and marketing your services. But instead of a one-size-fits-all method, Visual Voices Collective emphasizes self-empowerment, giving you the tools to make these processes work for you, aligning with your personal values and vision.

The Three Foundational Pillars
This program is built on three core pillars: photography, mindset, and business, structured like the exposure triangle in photography. Just as Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO work together to create the perfect exposure, focusing on one of these areas naturally influences the others, ensuring a balanced and holistic approach to your growth.

A member testimonial…
“Your content really resonates with me. I truly appreciate you taking the time to put all of the different categories of information in really understandable videos. I love watching all of it. What is especially helpful is that you have experienced all of it and give your perspective for your students to think about how it can relate to their genre and style of photography.
I have learned so much from your course. The best thing is that what you teach is relevant now and will be in 10 years from now. It’s not trendy; it’s timeless. It’s all about how to bring out the feeling of the photo in a creative way, in a way that feels good for the photographer.”
— ANGIE

Why a commitment period?
Visual Voices Core requires a 3-month minimum commitment to ensure you have time to settle in, explore the content, and experience meaningful progress and growth.
Visual Voices Circle includes deeper support and mentorship with me, which is why it’s structured as a 6-month commitment, giving you the space and time to be guided, encouraged, and transformed.
These timeframes are designed to support real creative momentum and help you stay rooted in your growth without rushing the process.
Who is this program for?
Are you a photographer looking to hone your photographic voice and elevate your skills?
Do you dream of building a photography business that doesn’t just thrive but aligns with your vision for life, bringing you joy, peace, and fulfillment?
I know exactly what it feels like to be in your shoes. I’ve been there before, trying everything I could to chip away at my vision for my photography business, constantly searching for my style, and wondering what steps to take next. As a creative entrepreneur, I know how lonely it can feel at times. You’re looking for encouraging support, someone to guide you, not just with photography skills but also in building up your self-confidence, and navigating the world of a creative business, without compromising your values.
Like you, I tried different approaches, hoping one would finally click. I was evolving, sometimes stumbling in the dark, trying to figure out how to find clients and work that resonated with me, without sacrificing my authenticity. Through all the trial and error, I learned one important truth: the answers were within, and what I needed was the confidence and support to bring them to light. I believe that you, too, already have everything you need within, but may be a little uncertain, doubting your abilities and potential.
That’s why I created Visual Voices Collective for someone like you, who is passionate, sensitive, and soulful but may feel lost or unsure of how to step into your potential fully. This program is designed to guide you through the process of discovering your unique photographic voice, sharpening your eye, and building the right mindset to thrive as a creative entrepreneur.
Visual Voices Collective embraces a truly holistic approach because, much like the exposure triangle in photography, where aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to achieve the perfect exposure, the program’s three pillars- photography, mindset, and business- are deeply interconnected. I firmly believe that focusing on one area influences the others, creating a balanced and holistic path to growth as a photographer, entrepreneur, and human being. By nurturing each of these areas, this program ensures that you’re not just improving your photography skills, but you are gaining the confidence, self-belief, and strategies to build your business gently, yet intentionally.
I know what it’s like to feel unsure, to try new things, and still not feel connected to your work. I also know the joy and peace that come when you finally find your path, which doesn’t compromise who you are, what you desire, or what you believe in. And that’s exactly what I wish for you, too.
In Visual Voices Collective, you’ll find a nurturing space where you’re supported every step of the way, as you build the photography career you’ve always dreamed of—one that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who you are as a photographer and sensitive creative soul.

Why Learn With Me?
As a highly sensitive person, I understand the importance of having a nurturing and supportive environment while growing as a photographer. I’ve been in your shoes; facing the uncertainty of a new creative endeavor while building my photography skills. I hope to share what I’ve learned in my ten-year creative journey with you. My interest in photography began in my mother’s darkroom when I was a little girl. Ever since, I’ve been shooting, working with top brands like American Express, Francis Ford Coppola, Vermont Creamery, and writing and shooting both of my cookbooks.
I have a creative background, originally working in the fashion design industry in New York City. My years of working in fashion design influenced and easily translated to photography, my true passion. I have encouraged and supported fellow photographers through my mentorship program along their creative journey.
I look forward to supporting you!

Alanna creates space for both growth and self-reflection, and her encouragement has genuinely shaped me not just as a photographer, but as a person.” — Lily
What I believe is possible for you…
There is always space for you in the photography world; it’s not overcrowded because no one else sees the world the way you do. Your eye, your unique gift, and your story are yours alone. You have a unique perspective that no one else can replicate, and there’s a place for your visual voice to shine.
By joining this program, you can improve your photography skills, define your style, and build a business that reflects your vision for your life and creative pursuits. You don’t need to conform or fit into what is trendy in the industry or on social media; you can be free to be you. You can reach your potential, expand, evolve, and grow a business that supports and nourishes you, both financially and emotionally.
I believe you have the potential to build unshakable confidence, allowing you to fully embrace your creative instincts. By trusting your intuition and diving deep into self-reflection, you can chart your own course, your guiding North Star, toward the photography business you’ve always envisioned.
Imagine earning your worth while attracting clients who not only appreciate your unique gifts but love working with you. This isn’t just about making a living; it’s about creating a life you truly enjoy. A business that not only financially supports you, but also nourishes your heart and soul.
Throughout this program, you’ll gain trust and confidence in your photography skills, develop a discerning photographic eye, and build a business that nurtures not just your art but your sensitive spirit.
I believe this is all possible for you, because your unique gift deserves to be seen, shared, and celebrated.

A personal note from me to you…
I know there are plenty of programs out there for aspiring photographers, but if you’re anything like me, you’re a sensitive and intuitive soul who feels deeply, with a big vision for your life that nourishes both your heart and your spirit. Along my own journey, I’ve realized that we can often get in our own way, and sometimes all we need is a gentle nudge to help uncover what we already know to be true and realize what we truly deserve and envision.
Photography is a deeply personal art form. It’s a lifelong companion that can be a beautiful reflection of who you are and how you see the world. With the right fundamentals, you can carve out a space for yourself, creating a business that not only reflects your artistic vision but also aligns with your inner truth.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you on that path, offering support and encouragement as you grow, both as a photographer and fellow creative soul. This journey isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about finding fulfillment and creating your best work from a place of joy and peace.
