When I had a really technically challenging shoot coming up, Shelly was able to talk me through the whole process and really help me plan for every detail. Took an enormous weight off my mind and the shoot went unbelievably well!
NANCY anne, FOOD photographer + Director
I learned how to pitch from [the mentorship], then how to have a successful CRM, then how to execute an on-location shoot, while also being able to have the confidence to stand by my prices.
The group allowed me to pass that line of "I'm fraud with a camera" to "I am a legit photographer and food stylist with my own company". Our meetings, exercises, and chats, facilitated and motivated all the pitches, all the negotiations, and without FPM, Im pretty sure this would not have taken off the way it has.
Mariel de la cruz, food photographer & food Stylist
I want to thank you so much for your help. I think talking to you before the [cookbook] shoot made me confident, knowing that I'm doing this right. I'm so glad I got your help!!!
