About me and my mentor auction:

I am a portrait and wedding photographer, but first and foremost I am a wife and a mom and work from home. I would love to mentor someone who is wanting to learn more about how to succeed in a photography business while being a wife and a mom and even though I’m still learning how to do this myself, I can also provide knowledge on how to balance the two-personal life and a business. I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in photography. I have had my business for 6 1/2 years and God keeps showing me new things and blessing the business. The mentor session is a 90 minute mentor session over the phone or Skype along with a Q and A via email for 1 month. The topics are yours so think of questions you want to discuss. They can be from where do you get your inspiration, to how do you run a photography business, to who I use for my products.
