Education for Photographers
Gold Coast Photography Mentor
The Next Step in Your Photography Career
One on one or group sessions to take your business to the next level
Over the years, I’ve built Golden Sundays Photography slowly and intentionally. Through seasons of babies, burnout, growth, pivots and refinement, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t when building a photography business that feels aligned and sustainable.
Mentoring with me isn’t about formulas or copying a style. It’s about perspective. Subtle shifts. Real-life insight from someone who is actively shooting, evolving and running a business in today’s industry.
If you’re craving clarity, confidence, or simply a fresh set of eyes on your work, I’d love to support you.
What I Offer
Guided Shootalongs
In-person educational sessions where you observe a full family shoot in real time.
You’ll see how I:
Gently guide without over-posing
Work with unpredictable kids
Use light intentionally
Keep a session flowing naturally
There are opportunities to shoot, but the heart of these sessions is perspective. Watching the subtle decisions that shape a relaxed, honest gallery.
Perfect for photographers at any level who want to see behind the scenes and experience a session from a different lens.
1:1 Mentoring
Personalised mentoring sessions via Zoom or in person on the Gold Coast.
Tailored to where you’re currently at and where you want to go.

Mindset and confidence
These sessions are practical, honest and supportive. No fluff. Just real conversation and clear direction.
A friend in business and in life
Who Is This For?
Photographers reach out for mentoring at all different stages.
Photography can be a pretty solo journey. Sometimes you just need someone to bounce ideas around with, ask questions, and get honest advice from someone who’s been through it all before.
My photography mentoring is open to photographers at any stage. If you’re ready to learn, grow, and move forward with a bit more clarity and confidence, you’re in the right place.
This is for you if you’re just starting out and want help getting your photography business off the ground.
This is for you if you’ve been shooting for a while but feel a bit stuck and need a fresh perspective.
This is for you if you’re simply looking for that creative spark again.
For photographers who want more natural family images.
Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.
The Method Behind the Magic
These images aren’t accidents. They come from knowing how to guide people, read a moment and create space for real connection to happen. During mentoring I show you exactly how I direct a session, how I communicate with clients and how I shape a shoot Golden Sunday’s style, so the images feel natural but still intentional.

Why choose me as your mentor?
I’ve built my photography business from the ground up.
I’m completely self taught. I’ve made the mistakes. I’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t. I’ve built a business around my family, not the other way around.
I don’t teach a rigid formula. I teach you how to shoot in a way that feels natural, how to guide families without it feeling forced, and how to build a brand that actually works for you.
I’ll be your friend in business and in life. Someone you can bounce ideas off, be honest with - sometimes that is all we need and can change your perspective on literally everything.
You’ll get real experience, real conversations, and someone who genuinely cares about you building something sustainable and aligned with your life.
That’s what I would have wanted when I was starting out.
