Mentoring

The Mentorship Journey

FEELING STUCK?

You already know how to shoot – but something still feels off. Maybe it’s about confidence. Maybe it’s how you direct your couples. Or maybe it’s that deeper itch to finally own your voice as a photographer and build a brand that reflects you.
I mentor working photographers and semi-pros who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’ve plateaued. Together, we figure out what’s missing and what really matters – with a direct, honest, and personal approach. This is not a one-size-fits-all blueprint. I’ll show you exactly what I’ve done, what worked for me (and what didn’t!), and how you can shape a direction that’s aligned with your style, strengths, and values. The result? You’ll leave with more clarity, a sense of direction, and a fire lit under your creative ass.

ARE YOU READY?

I WANT TO SEE YOU TRANSFORM

Growth You Can FEEL...

Being a photographer is deeply personal — it’s not just about beautiful images, it’s about how you see the world, how you connect with people, and how you express yourself through your work. But turning that passion into a sustainable, fulfilling business? That part can feel overwhelming, isolating, or even out of reach sometimes. I know what it’s like to pour your heart into what you do… and still feel unsure.

This mentoring is about helping you grow in a way that feels right: grounded, intentional, and true to who you are. It’s about making space for your creativity and your confidence to thrive. Here’s what I can promise you:

You’ll attract clients who value you – not just your prices.  I'll show you how I positioned myself.

You’ll get honest, thoughtful feedback – always human, never cookie-cutter.  This isn’t about pressure or copy-paste strategies. Real, personal guidance.

You’ll start treating your business like a business – not just a passion project.  Because structure, boundaries, and self-worth matter just as much as creativity.

I’m Michelle, your personal cheerleader, an optimist and I absolutely love my job. But: I know how heavy it can feel to be stuck — questioning your talent, or wondering if you’re even on the right path. The struggle is real (tell me about it)… but it doesn’t have to be lonely.

So this is your safe space — to be honest, to dream out loud, and yes, to get your creative ass lit up again. Over the years, I’ve photographed countless love stories, hosted several workshops, and mentored amazing photographers 1:1. Every single time, I’ve seen the same magic happen: when you feel supported and understood, your confidence soars and your work shines.

Let’s take that spark inside you and set it on fire — are you ready to transform?

Gemeinsam haben wir schon zahlreiche Hochzeiten im In- und Ausland begleitet. Etwa in der Schweiz. In Spanien. In den Niederlanden. Und in Griechenland.

Das Ergebnis: Eure Hochzeit in Foto und Film. Stilistisch perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt. Sounds good? Dann schickt mir gerne eure Anfrage über das Kontaktformular. Und setzt ein Häkchen im Feld "Wir interessieren uns auch für einen Hochzeitsfilm!“

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT MY MENTEES SAY

"Dear Michelle, a huge thank you for the incredible opportunity to do a 1:1 coaching session with you! Michelle took the time to talk through my specific questions in a video call and made sure the theoretical part of the coaching was fully tailored to what I needed. The practical part was a live couple shoot in wedding styling at the Elbstrand – absolutely stunning and spicy! Exactly what I had hoped for. Michelle not only showed her technical skills, but also inspired me with her creativity and fresh ideas. What made me especially happy was Michelle’s ability to fully tune in to what I wanted from the session. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was seeing how she communicates with couples and brings her vision to life during a shoot. The atmosphere was relaxed, warm, and open – it made the experience both beautiful and fun. Even before the session, everything went super smoothly." ..."Michelle is not only an amazing photographer, but also a truly kind and empathetic person. Her passion for photography is contagious – it literally shines through her.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Michelle as a mentor. Her coaching didn’t just level up my photography skills, it reignited my love for what I do. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and so excited to apply everything I’ve learned in my own work. Thank you so much!"
