Coaching

individual personalized teaching

I absolutely love coaching photographers! Whether you just bought your camera yesterday or have been in business for years, I am a completely open book! The best part about one-on-one coaching is it's completely tailored to YOU. You'll fill out a questionnaire prior to your arrival that will give me insight into you, your business, and your unique challenges. When we meet, it’s a very relaxed “ask me anything” style environment. Coaching is hosted at my home office (in Bridgewater, NJ) where we have easy access to my desktop for showing spreadsheets, programs, and anything else that may assist you as you grow your business. I also offer an online option!

“I found Cassi on Instagram, and I immediately fell in love with her stunning work! Not only that, but when I reached out to her to inquire about coaching, Cassi was so welcoming, warm, and seemed like such a genuine fun person! Cassi was so helpful leading up to the session with what to expect, and I felt fully prepared! Our session was nothing short of amazing! I took advantage of the full two hour zoom option where we went through her preset and then edited some of my photos with her preset as well. Cassi answered all of my questions thoroughly, she made sure I understood each and every step, and she even answered some questions about film! I loved learning from Cassi and felt super comfortable asking whatever came to mind. I can't wait to work with Cassi again in the future! She's amazing!

“Cassi is one of the most supportive, encouraging mentors in the biz, and I highly recommend her coaching services for photographers of any level. She is so kind and patient, and is willing to teach all the knowledge she's gained over the course of her incredible career to anyone who is eager to learn. 

Before our coaching session, I felt like I was running my business into the ground. I needed to put systems in place to move my business forward, but I kept getting bogged down by the day to day tasks. I needed someone with incredible organization skills to walk me through the back end of the business and that is exactly what Cassi did. She was so patient with me and my dozens of questions, and was completely transparent about her workflow. 

The best part of Cassi's sessions is that they are completely customizable. We discussed what I wanted to learn ahead of time so I felt like every minute of our session was extremely productive. She helped me put my systems in place - from Dubsado to Lightroom - and now I am much more efficient in my pre and post session workflow. I walked away from the session with tangible tools to keep my business organized, and I know I provide a much better experience for my clients.”

“Coaching with Cassi was hands-down one of the best investments I could have made for my budding business. Cassi’s kind heart and sweet-as-pie personality immediately put me at ease and made the day feel as though I was learning from an old friend. She’s a natural teacher, and her thorough methods of approaching wedding photography will truly help me to improve my craft and cut my editing time in half. The lessons I learned helped shape not only the way that I work, but the confidence I now have in shooting. It was truly life-changing and one of the smartest business moves I could have made! A month after I coached with her and attended her workshop, I launched my website and my inquiries sky-rocketed. I know I would not have been able to attack that work load without the guidance and support I received from Cassi. My only regret is not coaching with her sooner!”

“I knew I really wanted to invest in a coaching session with Cassi in 2020! I am so happy that I took the leap to schedule a FULL day, and I highly recommend this to everyone who is considering a coaching session with her! Cassi is kind, caring, and an all-around amazing person! She is so patient and is an open book of information. I appreciated how completely transparent she was and that she answered every question I had without hesitation! Whether I asked about her workflow, finances, or even life struggles, Cassi was open and honest! She made me feel so comfortable and I felt as though I could ask anything without judgement.

I love that I was able to pick from different recommended topics and that I was also able to bring my own set of questions to work through. We had A LOT to cover and Cassi was organized and made sure that we stayed on track to make it through it all. It was an extremely productive day and I was able to leave with a solid action item list. I can’t wait to implement everything that we went over, I know that it will help my business to continue to grow!"

“My one-on-one session with Cassi was incredible! She completely tailored the session to meet my needs and we were able to hit on every topic I wanted to discuss! Cassi was completely candid, no topic was off the table. The two most helpful parts of the day for me were when Cassi helped me improve my back button focusing technique and when she showed me how to consistently edit in order to achieve results that reflect my brand, two major struggles I have been having.”
