hello there.
My photography adventure kicked off in my tiny Brooklyn apartment back in 2012. It was all about capturing those incredible moments of motherhood and the beauty in everyday women. I was pretty much in the same boat as you might be right now—sacrificing sleep and weekends, all to edit photos, deal with emails, and worry about the next shoot. And let's not even start on the stress of pricing and the fear of not charging enough.
But after a few years, I was totally burnt out. I needed a change, a big one, to really start attracting those dream clients, to charge higher prices, and to feel that excitement about photography again.
The Lola Melani Collective is the fruit of this journey. It’s the mentorship I WISH I had when I started, designed to give photographers like you a shortcut to success. Here, I’ve poured all my insights and experiences into helping you not just survive, but thrive, in the world of photography.
