mentoring sessions // spring giveaway and special pricing!!

Filed in mentoring shot by on at

If you have already checked out our mentoring page at some point, then you’ve read a little bit about the history of Ayres Photography, and the reasons why we offer mentoring/coaching sessions, but I’d like to take it one step further by explaining our philosophy in a little bit more detail.  We have been offering these sessions for about two years, and we’ve done them here and there as they popped up, but we’ve never actively made them a priority.  This year, we’re planning to change that in a big way!

We’re kicking off the official launch of our mentoring sessions with special pricing for the month of February and a giveaway!!

Read on to learn more!

Teaching is super important to us.  Helping others learn, grow, and achieve their goals is something that we’re extremely committed to.  Why?  Because if WE share our knowledge/expertise with you, and YOU become a better (smarter, more confident) photographer/business person/human being, you will then grow into someone who will go on to encourage others, and THAT cycle of people helping and encouraging others makes the world a better place!

  • We believe that mentoring is a tool to help people reach their highest potential much faster than they ever could on their own.  (We know this is true, because it was true for us, too!)
  • We believe in promoting a sense of community within the photography industry, and a sense of unity among creative entrepreneurs in every field.  Community over competition is the core of our philosophy.
  • We believe in empowering people to succeed by sharing our experience, offering encouragement, being good listeners, and educating with kindness and empathy.  We will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, and help you build confidence in your areas of weakness.

Right now, we are offering three different kinds of sessions, but we will be adding to those throughout the year.  You can check out our current offerings here.  From now until the end of February, you can purchase a session with us at a very special discounted rate, so definitely take advantage while you can!!  These sessions are open to photographers and creative entrepreneurs at all levels of experience.  Check out our Mentoring Session FAQ’s for more info!!

Due to the amount of time and energy we invest into these sessions, we can only take on TEN people in 2016, and currently there are only EIGHT spots left!!!  If you’ve been on the fence about doing a mentoring session, NOW IS THE TIME to hop on it!  Want to experience a mentoring session for FREE??  Keep reading!!!
