Photography Mentor Program

Personalized photography mentorship program

Finally Get the Personal Guidance You’ve Been Looking For

Have you watched the videos, read the books, taken the classes, and still gone out into the field without knowing your camera settings, without knowing why your photographs aren’t what you thought they would be?

You’re not alone. In fact, the fastest way to improve is not buying another camera or watching another video.

It’s a session with an experienced photographer who will review your photographs, answer your questions, and help you understand what to work on next.

Angie Birmingham’s personalized photography mentorship program provides one-on-one guidance customized to your experience, equipment, interests, and goals.

We won’t do a one-size-fits-all course; we’ll focus on the areas that will make the biggest difference to your photography.

Only 5  Spots Remaining

Angie is opening up five more spots in her new monthly mentorship program to ensure that every single photographer gets personal attention.

Members pay a special rate of $125 a month with a three month commitment.

Your $125 founding rate will stay the same as long as you remain continuously enrolled in the mentorship.

  • One private 60-minute mentorship with Angie

  • One custom photography project based on your goals

This Mentorship May Be Right for You If…

  • Camera settings leave you feeling overwhelmed
  • Soft or inconsistent photographs are causing frustration
  • You are unsure whether your camera is set up correctly
  • Photographing moving subjects feels difficult

  • Choosing which images to keep and edit feels confusing
  • Honest, encouraging feedback would help you progress
  • Personal guidance works better for you than generic online videos
  • You are ready to practice and make measurable progress

The Mechanics of Mentorship

1. Talk to me about your photography.

When you sign up, you will get a short questionnaire about your experience, camera gear, favorite subjects, current challenges, and goals.

2. Book Your Private Session

Angie will be in touch to schedule your first 60-minute mentorship session. Sessions are available in person in the Corpus Christi area or through Zoom.

3. Upload Your Photos

Prior to each session, you may email up to 10 photographs for review. These images will help us find out what is working, what could be improved, and what you should focus on next.

4. Schedule a One-on-One Meeting with Angie

We can go through your images, adjust your camera settings, work through editing techniques, talk about composition, or whatever photography challenge you are going through during your session.

5. Next steps

After the session you will be given a personal assignment and written action plan to help guide your practice for the month ahead.

Why 3 Months?

More than one conversation is needed for real progress.

This three-month commitment will allow us to:

  • What are your biggest challenges
  • Do targeted changes
  • Try new techniques
  • Check your results
  • Fine-tune your approach
  • Track your progress

Through consistent collaboration we can move beyond quick fixes and help you build long-term photography skills and confidence.
