90 days to a new business

1:1 Photography Mentoring

You're not starting from scratch - but you are ready for support that actually makes a difference.
You’ve made it past the “can I actually do this?” stage.
You’ve booked shoots. You’ve juggled Lightroom, Instagram and galleries.
And you’ve probably watched more YouTube videos than you’d care to admit.

But if you’re honest?
There’s still a lot you’re figuring out as you go.
And you can’t help but feel like you’re missing something.

This is where we change that.

Introducing

1:1 Mentoring for Photographers

A 3-month deep dive into building a photography business that’s confident, creative, and built to last.
You’ll get expert support from someone who’s been doing this for nearly two decades (hi, that’s me), practical help where it counts, and the space to ask all the questions you’ve been googling in the background.

No fluff. No lectures. Just real talk, tailored advice, and guidance that helps you actually move forward.

90 days of business help

Does this sound like you?

You’re getting bookings but every shoot feels like you're winging it

You scroll through other photographers’ websites and think, “how do they make it look so easy?”

You’re proud of your work… but not confident in it yet

You’ve got a long to-do list (new website, better client flow, blog posts, reels… help?)

You feel a bit awkward charging more because you don’t feel “legit” enough

You’re second-guessing your edits, your marketing, your whole setup

You just want someone to show you how it actually works, not a course, not a PDF, not another freebie that doesn’t help

Who is this for?

You've started taking on clients (but still feel like a beginner sometimes)

You want to improve technically—posing, lighting, editing and more

You feel confident ish but often second-guess themselves

You know your work could be stronger but aren’t sure what’s missing

You want to create a smoother, more professional client experience

You're ready to build a business, not just take pictures

90 days

Let’s get your business working the way you actually want it to.

You didn’t start this to burn out, undercharge or constantly wonder if you’re getting it right. This isn’t about following someone else’s blueprint. It’s about building a business that fits you. Your strengths. Your style. Your goals. I’ll help you figure out what’s working, fix what isn’t and finally get your photography business running in a way that feels good and gets results.
I’m only taking on 2 photographers right now so get in touch if you need a little help.

Common Questions

FAQ

Not at all. This mentoring is for anyone in the early stages of building a photography business—whether you shoot people, products, pets or flat lays. If you're booking clients but feel like you're missing something, you're in the right place.
This isn’t a pre-recorded course or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s completely personalised support, designed around where you’re at and what you actually need. You’ll get real-time guidance, honest feedback and a chance to ask all the questions those courses never answered.
That’s absolutely fine—we’ll find a new time. This is one-to-one support, so it’s flexible around your schedule. You’ll also get crib sheets and notes/transcript from each session so you can refer back to them anytime.
Not necessarily. The only in-person part is the studio day, which takes place in Ossett, West Yorkshire. If you're not local but still want to apply, drop me a message and we can chat about whether it’s a fit or if we can adapt anything.
Yes, I do. I want this to feel doable, not stressful. Payment plans are available—just let me know and we’ll work out something that suits you.
That’s exactly why this exists. You’re not supposed to have it all figured out. This is a safe, supportive space to ask questions, build confidence and learn what actually works. If you’re showing up and trying your best, that’s more than enough.

Meet MARYANNE

the founder and Photographer

I’m not Anne Geddes and I’m certainly no David Bailey.  I’m just a personal brand photographer who feels very lucky to meet lots of business owners and occasionally get recognised in some random cafe’s toilets (it’s happened more than once).

Just your cheeky, grounded Yorkshire lass in her 40s (refusing to say late…) who loves capturing people on camera. Photos of the woman (or man) next door, who built her business from the kitchen table, escaped the 9-5 and barely has time to get her roots done.
