Always Creating, Always Learning

The Dojo is a monthly membership with access to all my photography courses in one place. Think of this like a Patreon. Except you get access to all my online courses on an ongoing basis, as well as exclusive content, first requests and one on one time.

The Dojo

The Dojo is a place where photographers can come together and learn about a variety of things surrounding photography and photography business. Inside are all of my courses that you have will access to. Inside is also me. Yes, you get access to me. You can ask me questions and I will answer those questions in exclusive content for you and the rest of The Dojo.

I call it the Dojo because The Dojo is a place of respect, honor and for people who want to learn, where people want to spend time, interact, engage with each other and just be a part of a community.

If you were to take all the components that make up the Dojo, you’d be looking at thousands of dollars between my online courses, which are well over $500 in value and also my time and personal attention. You can get access to The Dojo for $25 a month.

As a member of The Dojo, you get all this great content and interaction.

If you are interested in The Dojo, enroll today. I welcome you to The Dojo.

Your AI Business Advisory Suite

powered by

The Dojo is more than a membership or community. It is an optimization engine for your business. We have moving beyond generic advice to provide you with tailored Gems, a suite of custom-trained Google Gemini Agents. Each Gem is built from specialized knowledge to act as your tireless, on-demand executive assistant, tackling the common (and uncommon) bottlenecks that keep photographers from maximum profitability.

Marketing & Outreach

Turn passive eyes into active leads and keep your audience engaged.

Subject Line Open Rate Advisor

Built specifically on the “Newsletter Operator” philosophy of curiosity and radical subjectivity. This advisor helps you bypass spam filters and break patterns in your audience’s inbox. It rejects generic phrasing to generate subject lines that spark genuine curiosity and win the battle for your recipient’s attention.

Ghost Finder Advisor

A specialized diagnostic consultant for your entire sales and outreach funnel. It identifies exactly where potential clients are “ghosting” (disappearing) and provides specific, custom-generated anti-ghosting email sequences to reactivate cold leads and prevent future silence.

Email Marketing Advisor

A foundational resource built upon a comprehensive knowledge base from 900+ sources. Use this Gem as your expert strategist to review complex automation flows, segment your audience effectively, and pull accurate industry benchmarks to measure your campaigns’ success.

Hook Advisor

A high-performance content optimization engine. It is focused entirely on the critical “first three seconds” of any content you create, helping you transform complex topics into scroll-stopping, high-retention openings, ensuring your marketing is actually watched and read.

AI Humanizer

Your ruthless human editor. Paste your AI-generated text, and I will strip out all the cliché hooks, robotic transitions, faux-dramatic formatting, and corporate jargon. I’ll rewrite your content so it flows with the clear, confident, and natural cadence of a skilled human writer.

LinkedIn Carousel Advisor

Turn your newsletters, blog posts, or articles into highly engaging LinkedIn carousels. I will analyze your text, extract the best narrative arcs, and generate exact, slide-by-slide AI design prompts so you can easily create beautiful, high-converting carousel images.

LinkedIn Post Advisor

Transform your newsletters, blogs, and stories into high-impact LinkedIn posts designed to trigger specific emotional reactions. Paste your content, and I will generate 4 distinct posts (LOL, OHHH, WOW, and WTF) written from your perspective—completely stripped of cringe-worthy AI-isms, corporate buzzwords, and cliché engagement bait.

Comment-to-Get Post Advisor

Turn your newsletters, blog posts, and articles into high-engagement “comment-to-get” social media posts for any platform (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). I will guide you through a step-by-step wizard to craft the perfect hook, extract the most compelling benefits, and design a frictionless call-to-action that drives DMs and leads.

Weekly Newsletter Advisor

Transform your raw notes or voice transcripts into polished, high-converting weekly newsletters. Upload your writing samples, audience profile, and product offers, and I will craft a 400-500 word email that perfectly matches your voice, hooks your readers, and seamlessly integrates a compelling Call-to-Action.

Sales & Client Management

Leverage deep psychology and proven high-stakes frameworks to move clients from “interested” to “booked.”

Sales Advisor

Your strategic sales coach using an integrated approach that pulls from high-level B2B frameworks (including Sandler, Miller Heiman, Challenger, SPIN, and MEDDIC) alongside deep psychological principles. This advisor helps you analyze specific client scenarios, justify your requests effectively, and strategically trigger loss aversion to secure commitments.

Client Request Advisor

A tactical consultant designed to master difficult conversations. It specifically coaches you on managing scope creep and price negotiations. When a client makes an unreasonable demand, this Gem helps you draft firm but polite responses and create strategic compromises, keeping your business profitable and your boundary lines intact.

Persuasive Emails Advisor

A unique email optimization engine that analyzes and rewrites your critical sales emails. It does this by deploying specific, proven psychological techniques, including FBI hostage negotiation tactics and classic Silicon Valley evangelism principles, all aimed at drastically increasing your positive response rates and conversion.

Pricing Tier Advisor

This Gem could help you structure your packages using psychological pricing principles. It could offer advice on how to use price anchoring, how to name packages, and how to present options without overwhelming the client.

Testimonial Advisor

Your personal AI strategist for building automated, high-converting client feedback and Google review funnels tailored to your specific photography niche.

Sales Enablement Advisor

IPS Advisor (In-Person Sales)

A strategic expert specifically trained to help portrait, family, and newborn photographers move away from just “selling the digital files” towards a highly profitable In-Person Sales (IPS) model. This Gem provides the step-by-step methodology to transition successfully.

Post-Session Upsell Advisor

Your expert consultant for maximizing photography revenue after the gallery is delivered. Provides psychological pricing strategies, customized email sequences, and workflow advice for selling wall art, albums, and recurring milestone sessions.

Specialized Niche Business

Provide highly targeted strategy for specific photography business models.

Album Advisor

A niche consultant providing strategic guidance on how to successfully and profitably sell photo albums using expert design software (like Fundy Designer and Pixellu SmartAlbums). It focuses on every aspect: pricing psychology, design workflows, and how to successfully market and sell finished albums as a premium service.

Timeline & Planning Advisor

Your elite AI assistant for high-stakes event photography. I build bulletproof schedules, calculate travel buffers, anchor portraits to golden hour, and coordinate complex vendor logistics.

Owned Audience Advisor

Your audience-building strategist. This Gem helps you create a robust list of blog articles and tailored lead nurturing magnet ideas specifically designed for your unique photography business niche, ensuring you build an audience that you own, not just rent from a social platform.

Persona Advisor

Your expert interviewer for uncovering deep customer insights. I will conduct an adaptive, conversational interview to help you identify and define your ideal customers, ultimately generating a comprehensive, actionable persona document for your marketing and product needs.

Photo Location Scout

Just tell me where and when you are shooting, and I’ll generate a comprehensive, data-driven location briefing so you don’t have to check 10 different apps.

Competitor Advisor

Your market gap analyzer ready to turn your raw competitor data into actionable product insights.
