There's no magic spell or amount of wishing on a star that can make you successful but having a silly, encouraging new bestie in your corner to cheer you on might do the trick...

Let's be friends and learn together

IF YOU'RE totally LOST or uninspired

Know you are not alone. I think we all go through these seasons and feel like no one else understands. You compare yourself to the "booked out" photographer in your city and start to wonder why that isn't you. You see everyone on social media and feel like you're behind. Let's start by silencing all that noise. Hear me when I say, this business is not for the weak but it is so freaking fulfilling. With a little guidance, I can help you find your place in this industry and help you chart a path to whatever success looks like to you.

The Editing Mentorship

with yours truly
A one hour zoom call that will be primarily focused on editing and includes:

  • The opportunity to ask me seriously ANYTHING you want about editing, business, shooting, etc.

  • My 1 preset pack and 1 brush pack, of your choice  and my adjustment presets.

  • An in depth video for you to keep that goes over all of the panels and sliders in Lightroom.  

An hour will go by SO fast, so there’s an option to Add on a half hour for $100, or a full hour for $150.

One more thing!! Three months after our mentorship, you will have an option for a 15 minute follow up zoom call to check in and see how you’re doing, absolutely free!

There is $200 nonrefundable deposit required to book that goes toward your balance.

Edit MY Photos

Yes friend, you heard me. This new addition for photographers will include a video from me editing YOUR raw images (5 to 10) how I would edit my own. This is for my visual learners. If you're stuck in your editing and just need a little guide, I would love to help you! Maybe we live in different parts of the country and have different scenery you need help figuring out, or maybe you just bought my presets and want to see how I would use them on your images. Whatever the case, I am here for you!

Love Letters

"Aspen was lovely! She is so kind and so willing to share her craft. I felt comfortable asking her anything. In this industry so many other photographers gatekeep. Not Aspen! She is an open book. I loved spending part of my mentorship just watching her edit and work her way around Lightroom. I definitely felt like I walked away from the mentorship experience with a few new editing tricks!"

"I felt a bit nervous to have someone critique my work, but Aspen’s warm personality immediately put me at ease! She had so many wonderful things to say about my portfolio. Aspen showed me how she would edit several of my images. She used her presets and also showed me how to use her easy adjustments to add a bit of pop. As a result, my work has definitely elevated to a new level, and my sessions are at a price point I never dreamed of. I am so grateful to Aspen and I know that I can continually ask her advice. She is truly gifted at what she does, and is such a gem of a human! "

"Forever grateful for Aspen and her amazing mentorship. She is truly a gift and has taught me so many new skills and gave me the knowledge I needed to help drastically change my business. She pours her heart and soul into her students and makes it so easy to learn. She is so supportive and kind and genuinely wants to see you succeed. I would hands down recommend her mentorship to anyone who wants to take their business to the next level."

"My mentorship with Aspen was AMAZING. I was so nervous leading up to the day, but I ended that zoom call feeling confident, deserving, and inspired! Aspen was an open book and so helpful in every topic that I wished to dive into – from editing, lighting, styling all the way to backend business."

"I loved the Aspen Dawn presets for a long time, but my mentorship with Aspen Dawn just took my use of the presets as well as my editing skills to a whole new level. I know a lot, but what I didn’t know she filled in or explained, and it was like she just filled the gaps to a lot of different knowledge that I didn’t know what I needed yet. I feel like I’ve leveled up because of her guidance and talent that she poured out on me. Her knowledge of color, balance and different applications of her presets, as well as photography and business tips in general were so helpful.."

Meet your new besties! I made these videos to walk you through my process in each lighting scenario. No more asking "how does she do that?!" So get comfy, pop some popcorn, pour the wine, and let's dive in. Each video is about 45 minutes long and gets into the nitty gritty details of my process. I leave nothing out! 

Not ready to dive into a mentorship but still need some help?

My friend,

I hope you know that I see you. I know you're grinding and spending your time and effort on this thing you love. I bet you've missed some important moments and have had your fair share of late night, eye strain inducing editing marathons. I have been and am still doing all the above but I have found things that have helped me along the way and I want to pass those golden nuggets to you. My only goal is to help you grow and thrive. 

xo,
Aspen
