Let's break it down
what's included
Witness the entire image editing process, from the SOOC (straight out of the camera) shots to the final edits in Photoshop. It's incredibly helpful to see the transformation from a RAW file to a stunning work of art.
Downloadable lighting diagrams with camera, choice of lens, and gear are included with each monthly episode. They are a perfect source to refer to when recreating set ups. Print them and get inspired whenever you are planning a photo shoot!
I've been there too. After 4 years in the business, I realized my old tricks weren't cutting it anymore. I needed a complete transformation to attract high-end clients and bring back that spark of inspiration.
I transformed my portfolio and honed my lighting, styling and editing skills to cater to the luxury market. And guess what? It worked. I started charging more, attracting those dream clients I had always imagined, and feeling proud of my work.
Now, I want to help you do the same.
Prepare to make waves in the photography world and create a portfolio you'll truly be proud of. No more settling for mediocrity - it's time to soar!
You don't have to do it alone.
Tired of feeling stuck in a creative rut? Ready to attract high-end clients, and start charging what you truly deserve?

hello there.
I’m LOLA
I'm a mother of two, a photographer, and an educator with a passion for embracing creativity, defying norms, and living a life that fulfills your passions.
Back in 2012, I started my photography empire right in the tiny living room of my Brooklyn apartment. From there, I honed my skills in capturing the beauty of motherhood, maternity, and everyday women. It's been a wild journey, from arriving in America with just $300 in my pocket to running a six-figure studio business. I've realized my dream and turned it into a thriving reality. And now, I want to share my knowledge and inspiration with you.
I'm here to guide you every step of the way, providing you with the tools and strategies to build an irresistible photography business. Join me on this exciting adventure as I empower photographers to achieve their goals, transform their lives, and make a real impact on others.
