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.
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:
Ihr wünscht euch neben authentischer Hochzeitsfotografie auch noch den stilistisch passenden Hochzeitsfilm dazu? All right!
Ich arbeite seit Jahren mit Constantin, einem erfahrenen Hochzeitsvideografen, zusammen.
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!“
No spam, no boring filler. I’ll only pop into your inbox when I’ve got something worth your time — real talk, fresh ideas, or updates you’ll actually be excited to read.
"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!"
Whether you just need a fresh pair of eyes on something specific or you’re craving real, long-term support to finally move forward — there’s a mentoring option that fits. We can keep it short and focused or go deeper over time. It’s all about what you need, where you’re at, and what will actually help you feel clear, confident, and excited again.
1:1 Call – Honest Feedback, Portfolio Review & Takeaway Clarity.
Have a specific challenge? Want an honest look at your work, your website, or your brand?
This 1:1 session is a sharp, no-fluff call that cuts right to the core. Perfect for seeing blind spots and gaining fast clarity (approx. 1,5 hours).
6-Hour 1:1 Intensive – Explore a Core Topic in Depth
If you feel stuck but know there's more in you – this is where we go deep. One day. One focus. No distractions.
We’ll look at your positioning, your visibility, self-marketing, filtering your dream clients, and whatever’s blocking you right now.
You’ll walk away with a custom “Clarity Map” so you know exactly what to work on.
3-Month Mentorship – From Deep Dive to Deep Change
This is for photographers who don’t just want tips – they want transformation.
We kick things off with your Deep Dive Day, then continue with 1:1 strategy calls every 3 weeks (2–3 hours each).
We’ll use that time to build real clarity, sharpen your brand, and put a structure in place that supports long-term growth – creatively and professionally.
Not everyone fits into a fixed program – and that’s totally okay.
If you’ve got something specific on your mind, or you’re somewhere between “I kinda know what I want” and “everything’s a mess,” we can create a setup that actually works for you.
This is mentoring without the cookie-cutter. We’ll shape the rhythm and format around your life, your goals, and your energy.
From the "Deep Dive Day" mentoring program and up, you’re welcome to add a styled shoot and/or a 30-second mini image film or reel. Depending on my travel plans, these extras are also available abroad — just reach out and we’ll see what’s possible!
