Ashley Israel

For so long, I have been undercharging and discounting my work. I was too afraid to charge people what I was really worth! In the first couple of sessions with Ariel we spoke about me dealing with the imposter syndrome and thinking it was my social responsibility to charge "little to nothing" for my services. We worked through those issues, and now I am not afraid to send potential clients my price! The price has gone up.

I love her positive spirit and how much she believes in me! That personality is rare to find. Ariel genuinely cares about the success of her mentees.

"Overall, this course has been educational and FUN! I feel as though I have all the tools now to succeed in my business! Ariel is the perfect mentor and teacher for photographers."

First I want to say how thankful I am for finding Ariel!
The class has been an eye opener compared to some classes I've taken in the past.

The real thing that has helped me the most as a new photographer was pricing. When I saw the section for pricing in the workbook, I literally dreaded going through it. It was something I was struggling with and wanted to put it off as the very last thing. I have to testify though, it was a relief and made me feel confident after writing it all down.

As a photographer starting out I really needed to know my worth. I'm putting money in equipment, props, and not to mention my time. To those staring like me, take the time to know how much your talent is worth. Lastly, thank you Ariel for being everything a new photographer needs! You are amazing at what you do, you're always on top of things, and you care about your clients.

As I am halfway through the Academy, I have taken in a lot of wonderful information. This Academy is really beneficial if you are looking to step up your senior photography business. There are a lot of great ideas in each lesson. Some of which I have never even thought of. Having the workbook to go along with each module lesson is a plus. You can tell that a great amount of time and effort went into creating this.

Since joining the Academy I have revamped some of my marketing materials to better speak to my ideal clients and provide them with the detailed information they’re looking for before beginning the process. Having this in place helps us to identify if we are the right fit for each other.

If you’re considering purchasing this course, I advise you to do so because it’s super informative and you won’t be disappointed!

The course has been so valuable for my business. Ariel’s way of teaching is straight forward. She created workbooks that are interactive and easy to access to customize them for your own business which I LOVE.

I especially enjoyed the branding information she has provided in creating a cohesive brand. Which I never realized was a pain point for me. She also walks you through strategies on pricing and shares what has worked for her. That has been extremely helpful in me creating my own pricing structure that works for my business in this season. Overall, I can’t say enough about this course and Ariel in general. She has given us everything we need to be successful, you just have to take it and use it for your own business. I can already see the results from implementing what she has taught me personally and I’m excited to see where my business will be 3-6 months down the road. If you are struggling in your business…

You NEED this course!

Your friend,

My high school dream turned into reality when I became a professional photographer. But back when I was a senior, it wasn’t all mapped out for me. It took years for me to grow the confidence and support I needed to get where I am now—working as the premier Senior Portrait Photographer on the East Coast. Now, I dedicate my art to helping the seniors of today find their confidence, capture their beauty, and take those bold next steps toward their dreams.

Capturing high school seniors is my passion!

My main goal is to provide you with the
