Feeling stuck creatively?
Many photographers tend to suffer through the highs and lows of creativity, get stuck in a rut, and lose excitement for work. I have been there! Seeing how other photographers approach their craft, is the BEST way to overcome a creative block, learn new skills, and stay motivated and inspired.
For years, I have received requests from photographers to come and just watch me shoot, and now that’s actually possible!

Lola Melani Collective is a members-only online community where photographers can join and watch me photograph maternity, motherhood and portrait sessions each month. These monthly behind the scenes videos will cover my entire image creation workflow. You will see my inspirations, shoot set up, how I find beautiful light and how I pose my clients. Every session brings about new challenges and obstacles to overcome and so that means that our members will be receiving new, different, and exciting educational content every month!
