You know that feeling when you’re scrolling through another photographer’s Instagram… And you’re wondering how they seem to have it all figured out while you’re over here googling “how much should I charge for a family session” for the third time this week?
The photography industry can feel like a bit of a secret club where everyone knows the rules except you. You’re talented and you love what you do! But between the conflicting advice on Google, the imposter syndrome creeping in and the overwhelming loneliness of running a creative business – it’s a lot.
Rest assured, you’re not alone. I’ve made every mistake in the book over the past 10+ years running my own, internationally-published and award-winning photography business. I’ve hit every setback and learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
And unlike some parts of this industry, I believe in pulling back the curtain completely. No gatekeeping and no BS – just real life, practical guidance to help you build the photography business of your dreams.
No matter where you’re at in your photography business, I’ve got options that meet you exactly where you’re at.
You have been pouring everything into your business, your family, and everyone else on your list, and somewhere along the way you stopped making room for yourself. The Motherclickers Cottage Retreat is three days on a private lake in Muskoka where you finally get to put that down. Six photographers. A luxury cottage on 100+ acres. Four stunning styled shoots including two golden hour sessions with real families. Daily education tailored to the women in the room, built to actually move your business forward. Meals you didn’t have to cook, conversations that fill you up, evenings around the bonfire with women who understand exactly what this life looks like. This is not just a workshop you attend and forget. It is the reset you have been putting off, the community you have been craving, and the proof that investing in yourself is the best thing you can do for your business and your family.
September 25 to 27, 2026.
Only six spots available.
PRICING AND PACKAGES SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME | all pricing subject to hst
Sometimes you don’t need another course, another YouTube video, or another opinion from a Facebook group.
You just need someone who’s built the business you want to build to look at yours and tell you what’s holding you back.
The Business Breakthrough is a focused 30-minute strategy session to uncover your biggest bottleneck and hand you a clear next step. This isn’t a sales call disguised as mentorship. You’ll leave with advice you can use immediately.
What You Get:
This Is Perfect For You If:
You’ll leave knowing exactly what deserves your attention next, with a plan that feels achievable instead of overwhelming.
This is where things start to change.
Momentum is for photographers done collecting information and ready to start making decisions with confidence.
Maybe you’re booking inconsistently. Maybe you’re attracting the wrong clients. Maybe your pricing hasn’t changed in years, or your backend systems are constantly overwhelming you. Whatever it is, we’ll work through it together.
Three months gives us enough time to stop reacting to problems and start building a business with intention. Every call is customized to your goals, your business, and where you’re at right now.
What You Get:
This Is Perfect For You If:
By the end of three months, you’ll have more than a list of ideas. You’ll have systems, confidence, and real progress.
Building a sustainable business doesn’t happen in one great coaching call. It happens through consistent action and having someone in your corner as your business evolves.
Legacy is my most comprehensive mentorship experience… for photographers ready to stop tweaking around the edges and build something they’ll still be proud of years from now.
Over six months, we cover every area of your business: pricing, positioning, client experience, workflows, editing, marketing, vision. Nothing gets left for “later.” Later is how photographers stay stuck.
What You Get:
This Is Perfect For You If:
Six months from now, your business won’t just feel different. It will operate differently: stronger systems, real confidence, a clearer brand, and a business built around the life you actually want.
PHOTOGRAPHY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LONELY
We’re Melissa and Ashley, the moms behind The Motherclickers Collective. We built this because we were sick of pretending motherhood and running a photography business don’t collide constantly, and because most of the advice out there skips the actual mess and hands you a highlights reel instead.
Motherclickers isn’t a course. It’s not a “come and only take pretty pictures.” It’s photography, motherhood, and the shit nobody warned you about. No filter, no fluff.
Launched June 2026. Two moms, two photographers, two tiny microphones, and zero interest in pretending we have it all together.
This is where we talk about the stuff that actually happens behind the business: the mindset spirals, the client emails we read four times before responding, the days we want to quit and the days we remember why we started. Some episodes are just us hashing it out. Sometimes there are spicy hot takes that may leave the photography industry fuming. Some weeks we bring in guests who get it, because they’re living it too.
No scripts, no gatekeeping, no pretending we’re perfect. Just two moms talking about photography, motherhood, and the sh*t nobody warned you about.
Workshops, Content Days and Retreats!
What You Get:
This is Perfect For You If: You’re a mom photographer who’s tired of learning in a vacuum. You want real connection, not networking small talk. You’re ready to invest in your craft and your business, but you also need permission to slow down and be a person for a minute. You’re done comparing yourself to everyone else’s highlight reel and ready to be in a room with women who get it.
You’ll leave with stunning images to curate your marketing, new techniques to try and most importantly – new friendships in an industry that can feel isolating.
I’ve been where you are. I know what it feels like to question every decision, to feel like everyone else got a manual you never received. But here’s what I learned: the photographers who succeed aren’t necessarily the most talented ones – they’re the ones who invest in themselves and aren’t afraid to ask for help.
Whether that’s a one-hour call to get clarity on your pricing, an intensive day together to overhaul your entire approach or joining a community of photographers who genuinely want to see you succeed – the next step is up to you.
