Student B felt like her brand had plateaued.
She was booking weddings at $6.5K but couldn’t seem to break into higher-tier markets or raise her prices without ghosting.

We rewrote her sales process so she could close at higher rates without sounding “salesy.”
Revamped her content so it actually built trust—not just looked pretty.
Dialed in how she marketed in slow seasons so she could stabilize income year-round.

Student C came in mentally and emotionally drained.
She was making $25K/month but it didn’t feel like success.

You don’t need another module to binge at midnight.
You don’t need your partner’s opinion on your pricing.
You don’t need to keep guessing what’s working.
You need real eyes on your business.
Someone to look at your content, your funnel, your prices and tell you exactly what to fix, when to fix it, and how to move forward.
Because let’s be honest—
You’re growing, but you don’t know how you got here.
You’re stuck, and you don’t know how to get out.
You’re running a full-time business with part-time clarity.
That’s why it’s not converting.
That’s why you’re second-guessing everything.
That’s why your “strategy” still feels like a shot in the dark.
Inside CC, I’m in your business with you.
No more wondering. No more spiraling.
Just clear direction, daily support, and steps that actually move the needle.

Once I receive your application, I’ll connect with you on Instagram within 24–48 hours to talk about your business goals, the challenges you’re facing, and how I can support you.

You're copying prices from your competitors or matching your local prices.
You have leads but get ghosted before you can get on a consultation call, and even worse... after the consultation call.
Your business has not grown in the last year.
You created a course, styled shoot, or mentorships, and it didn't sell out.
You're booking out, but your prices aren't where you want them.
You feel like you don’t have time to learn a whole new strategy—especially when you’re already overwhelmed trying to keep your business afloat.
You’ve been burned before. You paid thousands for a coach who promised results and gave fluff. No direction. No feedback. Just another module and a “good luck.”

let me guess...
You’re booked—but still stressed, wondering why the next inquiry feels so random.
You’ve got a Google Doc full of content ideas, but every time you post, it’s like shouting into the void. You’re showing up—but it’s not converting.
Selling on consult calls makes you second-guess yourself. You freeze. Ramble. Over-explain. And when they say “we’re going with someone else,” you spiral.
You’re photographing 20+ weddings a year, but the income still isn’t consistent—or enough.
You’re covering your bills, sure. But barely. And forget saving, outsourcing, or taking a weekend off without guilt.
This isn’t what you pictured when you raised your prices.
You tried ads, and they didn't work, but social media stresses and the different algorithms stress you out.
my story
HI, I'M han
I scaled to six figures in my first year and still felt broke. I had no savings, debt piling up, going through a divorce, and was living paycheck to paycheck trying to make this business work. From the outside, it looked like I was making big moves. But behind the scenes? I was stuck in survival mode.
Then I hit a plateau. So I figured it out and scaled again. I moved states. Hit another wall. That’s when I dove deep into marketing and sales. And once I understood how to make those work for me, I scaled again—and again—refining the same frameworks every time.
I started this business in 2022 with no backup plan. I quit my job, went full-time within six months, and told myself: this either works or it doesn’t. I didn’t have connections or a business background. I was winging it from day one.
I invested close to 100k into education. Some programs helped. Most didn’t. I tried ads, bought templates, rebranded more than once, but none of it created the kind of consistent growth I was after. At one point, I started questioning whether I was even good at this.
But my work wasn’t the problem. It was how I was showing up and who I was trying to reach. Once I got clear on my brand, refined my offers, and actually understood buyer psychology, things started shifting. I began attracting clients I wanted to work with—people who valued the experience, trusted the process, and didn’t flinch at the price.
In the last year, I got serious about sales because even with dream inquiries, I wasn’t always closing. Now I walk into every consult call knowing how to lead it with confidence. No more hoping. No more guessing. No more “we went with someone else.”
If I can rebuild my business from the ground up, multiple times over, you can too. You just need a system that actually works and someone in it with you. That’s why I built Creative Collective.
who it's not for
Who it's for
You’re not new. You’re not a beginner.
But you’ve hit the point where talent and hustle aren’t cutting it.
Creative Collective is for:
✔ Photographers making $70K–$300K/year who want $10K–$15K bookings consistently
✔ Those craving aligned, higher-spend clients and consult calls that actually close.
✔ People who want critique, implementation, and accountability — not vague advice.
✔ People who want freedom in their calendar—and peace in their process
Who it's not for
Let me be straight up—this is not for you if:
🚫 You’re looking for templates instead of transformation
🚫 You want a coach to tell you you’re doing great instead of telling you the truth
🚫 You’re not willing to look at your numbers, your marketing gaps, or your sales process
🚫 You blame “the algorithm” or “your price” but won’t change how you show up
🚫 You want results without putting skin in the game
This is not a course you ghost halfway through.
This is a commitment to build the business you say you want—with someone in your corner making sure it happens.

In this phase, we’ll rebuild your brand from the inside out—so it reflects your values, positions you clearly, and turns your dream clients into inquiries that convert.
Here’s what we do:
✔ Define what makes your work different (and worth the price)
✔ Build a brand that reflects your energy, not just your aesthetic
✔ Audit your platforms so your website, IG, and messaging all point in the same direction
✔ Learn how to speak directly to your buyer so they see themselves in your content
✔ Make your brand feel intentional, elevated, and profitable—without losing who you are
Because your brand isn’t just how it looks.
It’s how clearly it positions you—and how confidently it converts.

Module 02 | Branding
Your dream clients aren’t ghosting because of your price. They’re ghosting because they don’t see the value. This phase is about fixing that—for good.
We’ll build an offer that’s crystal clear, deeply aligned with what your clients actually want, and confidently priced to reflect the experience you deliver.
Here’s what we do:
✔ Refine your packages to match the desires of high-end, aligned clients—without overstuffing them just to “prove” your worth
✔ Rework your pricing so it’s rooted in buyer psychology, not just what the girl down the street is charging
✔ Learn how to clearly communicate the outcomes of your work—so people don’t just like you, they book you
✔ Create positioning that makes your offer the obvious choice—even in a saturated market
This isn’t about having more packages.
It’s about having the right offer, with messaging that actually converts.
Once your offer clicks, selling gets easier.
Because the right people will finally see why you’re worth every penny.

Module 03 | Offer
Raising your rates isn’t the hard part. Selling them is. This phase is about building pricing that feels solid, profitable, and backed by messaging that actually supports it—so you’re not second-guessing your worth every time someone asks for a guide.
We’ll rebuild your pricing to:
✔ Reflect the value of your work—not just your time
✔ Align with your lifestyle + income goals (no more “barely making it” packages)
✔ Work at every tier—so your middle package isn’t the only one people book
✔ Position your highest package as the obvious choice
✔ Help you confidently say your prices out loud without flinching
You’ll stop asking “Is this too much?”
And start asking “What needs to shift to support this price?”
Because when your pricing is rooted in strategy—not fear—it stops being the thing that holds you back.

Module 04 | Pricing
You don’t need more visibility. You need visibility that sells. This phase is about turning your platforms into tools that attract aligned leads consistently—without relying on ads, trends, or guessing what to post next.
We’ll build a marketing plan that:
✔ Works with your life and energy—not against it
✔ Aligns with your dream client’s actual buyer journey, so your content leads them somewhere
✔ Covers multiple platforms with intention (IG, Pinterest, TikTok, Email)—not chaos
✔ Gives you a clear schedule, message pillars, and CTA structure so you know what to say, when to say it, and how it converts
✔ Stops you from wasting time batching content that looks good but doesn’t book
This is where you shift from “I’m posting to stay consistent” to “I’m marketing to consistently get clients.”
Your reach means nothing if it’s not reaching the right people.
Let’s fix that.

Module 05 | Organic Marketing
You’re already posting. You’re already on Instagram, maybe Pinterest or TikTok.
But the content is not doing what you need it to do: sell. In this phase, we take your content from “pretty but passive” to “intentional and income-generating.”
Here’s what we’ll do:
✔ Define your brand pillars so you’re not reinventing the wheel every time you post
✔ Repurpose your content across platforms without sounding repetitive or robotic
✔ Learn buyer psychology so your content speaks to every decision-maker—not just the expressive clients who “vibe” with your energy
✔ Understand how to move people from cold lead → warm audience → booked client
✔ Use analytics to track what’s working (and cut what’s not) so you can post with purpose
✔ Optimize your IG, Pinterest, and TikTok presence with keyword strategy and light SEO—without losing the human side of your brand
This is about building a content system that sells for you—without needing to be online 24/7.
Your posts aren’t just content. They’re sales tools. Let’s make sure they work like it.

Modules 06-09 | Social Media Strategies
You’re getting the inquiries but consult calls still feel like a toss-up. One minute they’re excited. The next? Ghosted. This phase is where we fix that—so your calls convert consistently, your follow-ups feel natural, and your pricing doesn’t scare the right people off.
You’ll learn how to:
✔ Identify and sell to different buyer types—so you know exactly what to say and how to lead
✔ Use sales psychology to build trust, establish authority, and guide without pressure
✔ Communicate your value clearly—so clients aren’t “thinking about it,” they’re booking on the call
✔ Handle objections with emotional intelligence, not panic or persuasion
✔ Build a consult flow that filters out low-quality leads and sets up the close before the call even starts
Sales isn’t about being pushy.
It’s about being prepared.
And when you know how to sell?
You stop leaving money—and dream clients—on the table.

Module 10 | Sales
Luxury pricing means nothing if the experience doesn’t match. This phase is where we make your client journey feel just as premium as your work. No more scrambling to respond. No more overdelivering just to “prove” your worth. We build a system that makes every client feel seen, supported, and excited to refer you before you even deliver the gallery.
Here’s what we’ll build:
✔ A streamlined experience that anticipates client needs—so you’re seen as the expert, not just the vendor
✔ Personalized touch points that reflect your brand and make clients feel genuinely cared for
✔ Messaging and email workflows that handle questions before they’re even asked
✔ A system for gathering feedback and reviews that help you improve and market
✔ Boundaries that protect your time while still delivering a five-star experience
This is how you build a business people rave about.
Not because you overworked—but because the experience was that good.
When your client experience runs like a dream,
it becomes your best marketing tool.

Module 11 | Client Experience
You’re not going to scale to $250K+ in a silo. The industry moves through relationships—and if you’re not intentional about who you’re connecting with, you’ll keep booking in circles that don’t grow with you. This phase is about building a network that actually elevates your brand—and turns passive connections into consistent referrals.
Here’s what we’ll do:
✔ Identify and nurture aligned partnerships that feel natural—not transactional
✔ Build vendor and planner relationships that support your price point (and match your dream clients)
✔ Learn how to pitch your value with confidence—so you don’t wait to “get noticed”
✔ Strengthen your reputation by showing up in the right rooms with the right message
✔ Build a circle of creatives who support your goals and refer with intention—not out of obligation
This isn’t about cold DMing strangers.
It’s about building real relationships that move your business forward.
Because when the right people know your name?
Your next booking gets a whole lot easier.

What We actually change
look, I've been there
You’ve taken the courses.
You’ve copied the advice Dawn, John, and Sean gave you.
You’ve tried “just showing up more.”
And you’re still stuck in the loop:
Booked, burnt, and wondering why your dream clients are still hit or miss.
You don’t need more fluffy info that is a "one size fits all" bandaid.
You need a plan that makes your marketing convert, your backend support your price point, and your consult calls actually close.
That’s what we do inside Creative Collective. I designed this program to eliminate the guesswork, build your business for freedom—not pressure—and help you raise your prices without sabotaging your inquiries.
All you crave is consistency. now is your chance to experience that.
Q: Is this a course?
A: No. You’ll be coached live, receive direct feedback, and have me in your business with you.
Q: What if I’ve tried mentorship before?
A: That stings to hear — I’ve been there. The difference is that many programs don’t build you a business, they teach you theory. In Creative Collective, we build assets, make decisions, test, adjust — live. If you show up, do the work, and ask questions, you’ll see progress, not frustration.
Q: Can I switch tracks?
A: Yes, if a seat opens and it serves your results.
Q: What if I’m newer?
A: If you don’t have any clients yet, this isn’t the fit. If you’re booking but not consistently profitable or confident, apply.
Q: “Why should I pay you instead of someone cheaper who does similar work?”
A: Because you’re not hiring “similar work.” You’re hiring someone who will step into your business, help you fix the exact leaks costing you money, and keep you accountable when you want to check out. Cheaper options give you advice; I give you clarity and results. If you’re serious about building a business that actually works, the cheaper choice usually ends up being the most expensive.
Q: “How much support do I get from you personally?”
A: A lot. You get me in your business — private calls (if you’re 1:1), live coaching every week, direct feedback on your content and sales process, and access to me when you need clarity fast. I don’t run big programs where people disappear into the crowd. You’ll know me, I’ll know you, and we’ll be working on your business together.
Q: “I’ll start later — it’s busy season / slow season.”
A: Let me be straight: busy season is when you need this most, because you’re bleeding time and leaving money on the table. Slow season is when you need this most, because you’re panicking about inquiries and filling your calendar with misaligned clients. There is never a “perfect time.” The longer you wait, the longer you keep riding the same cycle. The best time to fix the leaks is before another season passes and you’re right back where you are now.
