Online Mentoring Sessions
Hi Friends! I’m Natalie Franke!
I’m an International Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer from Annapolis, Maryland who believes in educating and empowering creatives to reach their business goals. I’m also an avid writer, adventure seeker and nautical nerd who graduated with a degree in Visual Studies concentrating in the Psychology of Seeing from UPenn. Online Mentoring is my way of making personalized education accessible to creative entrepreneurs around the country. From my home office in Annapolis, Maryland to wherever you live and work!
Online Mentoring Sessions »
These meetings are catered directly to your personal goals as a creative entrepreneur. Mentoring begins with an in depth questionnaire that directs the focus of your session and takes place in a one hour virtual “coffee date” online through Google Hangout or Skype! I look at Mentoring Sessions as an opportunity to sit down, one on one, and discuss your business goals and objectives. It’s your chance to ask any questions you have, get honest advice, and create action steps to reach your business objectives.
Every Mentoring Session is uniquely designed, however most generally touch on a range of any of the following topics – Business Guidance, Creating a unique Brand + Marketing Strategy, Tips for Building a Following & Keeping your Audience Engaged on Social Media, Advice for Getting Published + Working with Editors, and Technical Knowledge wherever applicable (For Photographers: Shooting in Manual, Culling, Editing, General Workflow Guidance are also popular topics and I can enable screen-share to walk you through these processes live).

When are the upcoming Mentoring Session Days?
Mentoring Session days are generally selected for the first Tuesday of the month. There are three morning sessions and two evening sessions for each designated day! Sessions are $300 and are designed to focus exclusively on your business goals and objectives.
*In order to give each creative entrepreneur the attention they deserve, I accept a limited number of mentoring sessions each month!
How do I book my session?
Sessions are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and are booked online using Square! Once a session is paid for, you will receive a link to my Mentoring Session Questionnaire that gives me an overall profile of your business and directs the goals of our session!
Is a Mentoring Session right for me?
I’ve found that personalized education is one of the best ways to learn. If you have a unique area where you need to improve, questions that pertain specifically to your business, or an aesthetic goal (shooting, editing, brand strategy) where you would like individualized advice – mentoring would be a great fit for you! Mentoring is also a really good fit for creative entrepreneurs in a mid to advanced stage of business who want to focus on an “intensive” topic or ask questions they may not feel comfortable discussing in front of a group!
What are popular discussion topics?
Every single Mentoring Session is unique and that’s what I love most about them! In a workshop or conference setting, rarely do you get the one on one attention that you may need in a particular area of your business and online mentoring is designed to do just that! Most Sessions cover one of the following areas:
- Creating a Personalized Brand + Marketing Strategy: Tips for building a following, keeping your audience engaged on Social Media, and attracting your ideal client online!
- Brainstorming big ideas + creating action steps to reach those goals.
- Advice for Getting Published + Working with Editors: Where to send your work based on your unique style, how to submit, and the rules many photographers + planners aren’t aware of!
- Workflow and Editing Tutorials
- Technical Knowledge for Shooting, Lens Selection, and more.
For Photographers I especially love offering screen-share mode and walking you through my workflow in a live setting. From Culling, to Editing, to General Workflow Guidance – photographer’s have the ability to ask questions throughout the process and see how I edit my images in my signature style! I’ll even share which presets I love to use and how to create your own preset to develop a consistent editing style!
Another really popular Mentoring Session objective is to develop customized marketing strategies for your business! Whether it’s engaging your audience on Facebook, cultivating an Instagram following, or developing a scheduling system for social media to reach your audience – I love discovering the best way for you to reach your target audience online!
