Speaking at WPPI's Boudoir Summit and Teaching Photographers Around the World

Over the last several years I've had the opportunity to teach photographers in the United States, Europe, and South America.

One of the biggest milestones in that journey has been speaking at WPPI, one of the largest photography conferences in the world.

WPPI invited me to speak as part of the Boudoir Summit, where I presented on building a strong boudoir brand and creating an experience that helps photographers stand out in a crowded industry.

One of the reasons I enjoy teaching photography is because I remember how difficult the learning process felt when I first started.

Like many photographers, I spent years trying to figure everything out on my own.

I experimented constantly.

I made mistakes.

I invested money in things that didn't work.

I spent countless hours trying to understand lighting, posing, editing, branding, pricing, sales, and client experience.

When I teach workshops today, my goal is to help photographers avoid years of unnecessary trial and error.

During my presentations I focus heavily on practical topics:

  • Dynamic posing for all body types

  • Dark and moody boudoir photography

  • Emotional storytelling

  • Client experience

  • Building a luxury photography brand

  • Increasing sales through connection and trust

  • Creating photographs that feel authentic

Technology continues to change photography.

What hasn't changed is the importance of human connection.

The photographers who create meaningful experiences are the ones clients remember.

In addition to WPPI, I've had the opportunity to teach workshops, mentorships, and conferences throughout the world while helping photographers develop their skills and build stronger businesses.
