HOW YOU CAN
Work with me
Simple, accessible, feel-good systems and strategies to ditch the overwhelm and take your photography business to the next level.
I believe…
… There’s no ‘one size fits all’ blueprint to growing a business. I believe in finding your own unique strength, worth and magic, and building from these a fulfilling business that’s completely aligned with your own individual personality, passions, priorities and values.
I believe that moving your business forward doesn’t have to be complicated, and that you can ditch the overwhelm, shut out the noise and focus on your own unique path using simple, achievable systems and strategies that get you big results without running yourself into the ground.

What I offer
I’d love to help your photography business grow and thrive!
There are 4 ways to work with me…
The Shutterhood
Launch your photography business and get your first 10+ paying clients
This is an entry-level 12 month programme designed for photographers in the early stages of setting up their photography business.
The Greenhouse
Generate a consistent, full-time income (min. £2-3k months) from your photography
This is an intermediate-level 12 month programme (the next step along from The Shutterhood) designed for photographers who have already launched their business but now want to turn patchy clients into a steady, consistent stream of enquiries and bookings.
The Accelerator
Totally bespoke mentoring to overhaul your business, eliminate distraction and supercharge your growth
This is the only way to work with me fully 1-1 and is suitable for any level of experience, from ‘total newbie’ to ‘been doing this for years’. It includes close accountability and fully bespoke, intensive strategy for photographers who are ready and committed to take their business and income to the next level.
The Library
Stand-alone, self-study courses
These are for you if you’re not ready for one of my three core programmes (The Shutterhood / Greenhouse / Accelerator) and are happy to work through resources on your own, without me on hand to help you. Each course is hyper-focused and easily digestible, giving you practical advice to solve one specific problem. Pick and choose instantly implementable support just for the specific topics that are relevant to you right now.
“The best photography education I’ve invested in. Anna is warm, funny and approachable. She knows her stuff, teaches from experience and speaks from the heart”

HEY THERE
I’m Anna & I’d love to help you!
I set up my own photography business nearly 20 years ago after the birth of my eldest son Joe, totally self-taught and flying largely by the seat of my pants with with plenty of trial and error and learning the hard way. I’ve made every mistake you’re scared to admit and there’s been many a time I just wanted someone to grab me by the hand and show me exactly what to do.
Now I have a business that thrives. I’m still an active, working photographer shooting families and commercial work, and I also spent over 10 years shooting weddings. I’ve been a photography educator for nearly a decade, helping hundreds of other photographers to successfully launch and grow their photography businesses, as well as regularly speaking on podcasts, panels and at big photography industry events (check those out here if you want to!)
Teaching credentials
I’m also a fully qualified secondary school English teacher, so I’m experienced in helping people reach their potential. Knowing how to run your own photography business is one thing, but being able to effectively teach it to other people is another. I’m not just an experienced photographer, I’m an expert in breaking down and teaching large, overwhelming topics so they’re simple, practical, well-structured, easily-digestible and doable – no complicated or fluffy advice in sight.

Client love
There are loads of photography mentors out there – so why work with me? Hear from some of the lovely folk I’ve worked with…
“Anna is amazing!!! She really works on your mindset, fears and confidence in a massively positive environment. Anna has a contagious energy, her passion and confidence really shine through and her eagerness to teach and help other people is so refreshing.”
“Anna is the most incredible listener. She’s non-judgmental, straight-talking, compassionate and didn’t ever get impatient with my dips in confidence. She felt like the teacher / guide / counsellor / sister I really wanted all in one go.”
“I was stunned by the extent of Anna’s free resources – a generosity I came to understand is entirely in character. Anna just lives and breathes authenticity in every aspect of her business and personality.”
“Anna is the perfect coach, she was born to do this. Her support and encouragement is incredible, and she adds the perfect touch of challenge that make you realise, ‘I’ve got this.’ She shares her wisdom (it’s not just knowledge, it’s wisdom with a big of ‘Anna magic’) with such openness and generosity.”
“You Anna are an absolute legend! Always there to offer killer advice and pick us up when we are feeling like we want to give up. You take something so overwhelming and completely break it down step by step to make it achievable.”
“Anna has all the qualities a mentor should have. She’s a fantastic listener and has a brilliant way of understanding what you need. She knows just when to push you and when to hold back, and has a magic way of really simplifying things. Best of all she is incredibly kind and patient, a down-to-earth, normal person who is really good at understanding people, and because of that she will provide you with the perfect support no matter where you are in your business.”
