Hi, I'm lola

Meet Lola

Mentor | Mother | Creator

I didn’t start with a big studio, a team, or a clear plan.

I started in my living room — photographing motherhood in the space I had and building one session at a time.

That work grew into a six-figure studio — and because I was raising two children, I learned quickly that growth had to come from better systems, clearer decisions, and intentional use of time.

Today, I help photographers bring clarity to their work, their pricing, and the direction of their business — without losing the artistry that made them start.
