I’m headed to India! It’s been a dream of mine for many years to travel to another part of the world to photograph their stories in a meaningful way. An opportunity has come up for me to head East with Ellie Fun Day, a budding social enterprise whose vision is “Saving the world, one blankie at a time.” Specifically providing training, a fair wage, and employment to the marginalized women of the Dalit caste. Also, their blankets are simply fab!
I will be in India with them as they connect with businesses for sourcing and connect with the organization that will be helping them take this humanitarian vision to flight. I’m there to tell the whole story. Learn more about the Dalits HERE. Please hear Ellie Fun Day’s story HERE.
I’M LAUNCHING MY ONE-ON-ONE MENTOR SESSIONS to help me fund this trip. I have a passion for connections, an ability to see the depth and gifts in a person, and the desire to see people grow, learn, and reach their highest potential. So I’m putting my passions together to help others grow, to fund my dream, and to help the women of India. It’s a win-win-win.
WHAT I HAVE TO GIVE:
- How to develop your own style
- How to post process without using other people’s actions

A Skype/WebEx Chat (2 hours) $175
Let’s sit together and chit chat (with a cup of coffee). You can pick my brain.
Half Day (4 hours) $450
A half day of fun and customized learning in Sacramento, CA. We can shoot, we can talk about business…whatever we can pack into 4 whole hours. You will take away new knowledge, confidence, beautiful images and some photographs of yourself by me.
Full Day (8 hours) $950
A FULL day together in Sacramento or San Francisco Bay Area! We will eat, chat, shoot, edit, laugh, learn and play. We will have a shoot with live models so you can have some hands on experience.

Walk away with new images for your portfolio, photographs of yourself by me, AND a gift straight from India!
