I'm going to work with a handful of photographers & videographers who want to build a real, scalable creative business in 2026 

— not just book random projects and hope it works out.

The goal is simple: a predictable six-figure creative business without burnout, chaos, or constantly starting over.
  • Leads every day
  • Sales every week
  • And a business that runs even when you're not hustling
Even if you've only landed a client or two so far, six figures ($8,300/month) shouldn't feel like a fantasy.  

It's a milestone — something we build toward deliberately, with the right systems in place.

I've spent 14 years behind the camera — shooting for top brands and small local businesses alike. I've done it all, and I've built a system from everything I've learned. 

I've now helped 250 creators across virtually every niche – wedding, engagement, short-form social, food, portrait, boudoir, headshot, and even pet build six-figure businesses.

In 2026, it could be your turn.

This Won't Work If You...

  • Are looking for a magic bullet
  • Want someone to do it for you
  • Aren't willing to show up consistently

But It's a Fit If You...

  • Have made your first dollar as a photographer or videographer
  • Want structure, not more random information
  • Are willing to follow a plan
  • Are coachable and open to feedback
  • Are cool with the occasional golden retriever dropping into a session
If you need convincing, this probably isn't a fit. Inner Circle works best when the logic already makes sense to you.

What Inner Circle Is (Plain English)


Not a 40-hour course you watch and never use. Not a content library. Not motivation disguised as strategy.

It's a structured execution system I build with you weekly. Everything runs on one simple loop:

Find the constraint → Install the system → Track results → Repeat.

We identify the single thing holding your business back right now, fix it, then move on to the next — until predictable growth becomes normal.

We'll do it with a mix of 1:1 strategy, a custom game plan, proven systems, 6-week project cycles, and direct guidance from me every week.

Phase 1: Speed to ROI (First 30–60 Days)


The outcome: Enough money in your bank account to make Inner Circle free for as long as you stay.

We start with your Inner Circle Kickoff Call — a live onboarding and strategy session where we:
  • Lock in your 12-month goals
  • Identify the most important quick wins
  • Map your first 30–60 days of execution
You leave knowing exactly what to work on — and just as importantly, what to ignore.

Then we deploy the Outreach Engine™ to bring you leads, clients, and cash first — so you get a return before you go deeper.

You also get weekly live Zoom coaching and Q&As with me. Each week, you can bring real questions, pressure-test decisions, and get help removing whatever constraint is slowing you down.

That's Phase 1: clear focus, fast wins, signed clients, and enough momentum that Inner Circle more than pays for itself.

Phase 2: Turning Momentum Into a System


The outcome: Growth that compounds instead of restarting every month.

Every six weeks, we meet live for a 6 Week Strategy Session. We use the Genius Model™ — our diagnostic for identifying the biggest constraint in your business right now — then choose the exact system to install and map the next execution cycle.

Sometimes that means fixing lead flow. Sometimes it's sales, pricing, delivery, or systems. The point is you always know exactly what to work on next — and every single thing connects back to the bigger goal.

Between strategy sessions, you also have Creator AI™ — trained on the entire Inner Circle system — so you're never stuck waiting for the next call. Think through decisions, pressure-test ideas, clarify next steps, and keep moving.

Phase 3: Sharpen the Skill, Scale the Business


The outcome: You stop trading time for money and start making decisions based on numbers instead of emotions.

Every month, we run a live Skill Workshop where we actually build together. Not a lecture. Not a webinar. We meet, we execute, and you leave with something finished and working.

Past workshops include Client Acquisition, Paid Ads, Offer Creation, and Pricing Strategy — all available the moment you join. These are paid workshops for the outside world. Your seat is always free.

You also get mentor hot seats, masterminds, and business deep-dives — so you're constantly exposed to what's working across different markets and stages.

This is also where we introduce your fully built GoHighLevel CRM — pipelines, automations, tracking, templates, and dashboards. This platform typically runs $500/month on its own — and it replaces the tools most photographers are already paying for separately. Inside Inner Circle, it's $1.

The CRM alone more than pays for your membership.

Everything Unlocked on Day One


The moment you join, you get access to:
  • The full curriculum — niche, offer, client acquisition, pitch, pricing, sales, tracking, systems, and mindset
  • The Genius Model™ — our step-by-step roadmap to a six-figure creative business
  • Every past & future Paid Skills Workshop recording
  • Creator AI™
  • Your GoHighLevel CRM ($1)
  • The Mentorship Vault — over $11,000 worth of real mentorship calls, hot seats, and deep-dives (recordings of real problems being solved inside Inner Circle)

You focus on one thing at a time, guided by the plan we build on your Kickoff Call — so nothing gets overwhelming.

Pricing


$125/month, or $1,200/year for those who are all in.

No contracts. Cancel anytime. Your price is locked in for as long as you remain a member.

This is meant to be the first step in our relationship, our absolute no brainer offer. Your first win inside Inner Circle will likely pay for an entire year of membership.

The 7-Day Fit Check


Join Inner Circle and decide within the first 7 days that it's not what you expected — full refund. No friction. No awkward conversations.

If we feel it isn't the right fit, we'll tell you and offer to buy your spot back.

For Transparency — Not Promises
  • 150+ active members
  • ~$4.2M generated this year
  • ~1 in 4 crossed $10K/month within their first 90 days
No guarantees. Just the data.

What Happens Next


The next Kickoff Call is April 8th. 
If you want to try it before you commit, this is the only week to do it.

Step 1: DM me Waitlist to be added to the waitlist for IC
Step 2: I'll get you enrolled and your account set up.
Step 3: We'll hold your spot for the next Kickoff Call.

Once the seats are filled, they won't reopen until next month.

If by the end of the 7 days you're not 100% convinced this is the place for you, we'll happily send you a full refund. But remember — the moment you join, everything is unlocked. Systems, tools, training, CRM, and AI. You can start moving immediately.

Inner Circle is designed to be tried, not debated.
