LEVEL UP BEHIND THE LENS

1:1 MENTORING WITH KACIE

Hi, I’m Kacie.

A portrait photographer with over 12 years behind the camera and a deep love for telling real, meaningful stories through images.

My work spans weddings, fashion, families, maternity and couples, but at the heart of everything I create is connection. Those honest, fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered.

While I still adore creating beautiful imagery for my clients, my favourite part of this journey is teaching.

Mentoring photographers lights me up more than anything. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping creatives find their voice, build confidence in their work and grow both artistically and professionally.

I believe photography is more than technical skill, it’s intuition, individuality and learning to truly see people.

Whether I’m photographing a once-in-a-lifetime moment or guiding another photographer toward theirs, my goal is the same: create with purpose, and help others do the same.

WHAT TO EXPECT

My aim is to help you uncover and refine your authentic style.

From posing and camera settings to client connection and confidence, your mentoring session will be raw, honest and completely open. I hold nothing back.

You’ll walk away with practical knowledge, renewed confidence, outrageously good content and a photographer friend for life.

MY PROCESS

Once your one-on-one session is secured, I begin curating your personalised styled shoot experience.

Your mentorship includes:
• A 2-hour shooting session
• A 2-hour Lightroom editing session

Everything is intentionally designed to give you both creative inspiration and real-world skills you can immediately apply to your business.

WHATS INCLUDED

I provide the models, wardrobe and location; so you can focus on learning and creating.

You’ll shoot alongside me as I guide you through:
• Posing with intention
• Camera settings in real time
• Using natural light
• Creating genuine client connection
• Directing with confidence

Following our shoot, we move into editing.

During the Lightroom session, I walk you through my full post-production workflow, including:
• Importing and file organisation
• Programs and tools I use
• Presets I love and recommend
• Editing techniques
• Exporting galleries
• The gear I use and why

YOU WILL LEARN MY ENTIRE PROCESS; FROM BOOKING THE SHOOT TO DELIVERING THE FINAL GALLERY.

THE OUTCOME

This isn’t just about walking away with beautiful images.

It’s about clarity in your style.
Confidence in your direction.
And the tools to elevate both your art and your business.

If you’re ready to invest in yourself, refine your craft and step into your next level as a photographer; I’d love to mentor you.
