For photographers who hold space through the lens and want to deepen their creative identity, refine their business with strategy, and step into embodied, sustainable leadership.
The Embodied Photography Mentorship
WORDS FROM PAST MENTEE’S
“Sophie really helped to understand my style of photography, along with supporting me to set up my business professionally and efficiently.”
Sophie was and still is an absolute rock for me. Her gentle but solid encouragement is what supported me to continue showing up for this dream of mine - to have trust and faith in myself. I am in awe of the magic created in this container and how divinity wove its way through. I went in with goals, achieved them and discovered that my photography work was ready to expand even further. If you are wanting to up level your photography, creativity and your soul business - then I highly recommend working with Soph! Never underestimate the power of a container with guidance. Now my business had solid foundations and is ready to expand into her fullest potential!

HAS ANYONE MADE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN’T BE SUCCESSFUL + MAKE AN EPIC LIVING THROUGH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY? I CALL BULLSH*T.
You can have a photography business that is...
✓ Deeply fulfilling and purpose driven, not just visually aesthetic.
✓ Rooted in presence, connection, and soul-led strategy.
✓ Financially sustainable without feeling like you are selling your integrity.
✓ Known for how you make people feel, not just what you deliver at the end of the shoot.
✓ In alignment with your cyclical nature as a woman.
✓ Supports you in living your dream life, without having to compromise on travel and setting yourself up for future success.
The thing is, so many women think they need to do it alone, that it will forever be a 'side hustle’, or in order to be successful you need to get into weddings (even if you don’t want to). It doesn’t have to be like that. You can do this your way, but with support, structure, momentum and systems behind you that will back your growth. And most importantly, make you believe in yourself.
That’s where I come in.
HELLO LOVELY
I’m Sophie Spencer — your photography mentor + business bestie
My photography story really started in 2012, when I was charging $50 cash for formal photoshoots in high school. Looking back on the past, every little job and obstacle that I faced back in the early days has shaped who I am today.
Although passionate and knowing of what I could achieve, I still doubted myself as a photographer and picked up some pretty big beliefs of others that I couldn’t make it as a professional photographer, purely because, well, it’s just not an abundant industry.
I studied a Bachelor in Photography majoring in Photojournalism, worked in every possible industry and followed my dreams to become a travel blogger in my early twenties. I always dreamt of going full time, but whenever I did, I’d burn out, get exhausted and then fall back into hospitality whilst I recovered.
But no matter what, I kept on going. I kept repeating the same cycles. Facing the same problems. And honestly feeling a whole lot of overwhelm when it came to finding my niche. IYKYK.
In 2020, it all began to flip. The catalyst? Women’s embodiment experiences. Now? I’ve held over 200 women in empowering photoshoots, both in private containers as well as sisterhood events. It’s been life-changing, not just for me, but for the women stepping into the spaces. I’ve gone all in on my business and the results? 🤯
BUT IT WASN’T EASY AND YOU’RE PROBABLY NODDING YOUR HEAD IN AGREEMENT. RUNNING A BUSINESS AS A CREATIVE CAN BE HARD. BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.
A photography mentorship is for you if...
✓ You’re a passionate, hobbyist photographer with a keen eye that is ready to turn this into your job or new career path.
✓ You’re in the industry already, but feel lost, stuck, uninspired and overwhelmed.
✓ You want to stop doubting yourself, but don’t know how to get out of your own way and need some confidence boosting.
✓ You’ve never facilitated a session beyond photography but love the idea of bringing more depth and connection into your photoshoot experiences.
✓ You’re wanting to hold women’s embodiment experiences and are looking for support and experiences that will support you into the space.
✓ You want to feel more connected to your clients and have them feeling like they experienced a life changing photoshoot.
✓ You crave consistency in bookings, confidence in your skillset, and more clarity in your business systems.
✓ You want everything to feel more streamlined and in alignment with your professionalism so you can save valuable time, convert with ease and have your business working for you without being clocked on.

Yes. Especially in the Immersive package, we’ll cover client flows, booking systems, email setup, templates, branding, and more. You’ll be empowered to build a business that works for you — without burning you out.
-
Yes — 100%. Most people don’t know this, but I studied Photography majoring in Photojournalism back in 2014 and have been a paid working photographer for well over a decade now. My work has spanned across family and portraiture sessions to the food industry and even getting freelance gigs for Dominoes! A lot of the work we are doing in these containers are to do with your strategy, systems and confidence. But there’s so much we can touch on together even if you’re in a different industry.
-
I would highly recommend the Signature as a base level. This will give you the opportunity to have a hands on session with Sophie to learn more technical aspects of photography. Think of this as a mini workshop! In the Immersive package, you will have more of a hands on experience, with the opportunity to shadow Sophie on a photoshoot, where you can ask any questions and get more technical camera support.
-
That’s okay. Confidence comes with clarity and experience. We’ll build both. You’ll be supported to claim your creative identity — not just through mindset and energy work, but through actual action and aligned momentum.
-
Then you’re in the perfect place. This mentorship is ideal for those who’ve ticked the boxes of business but feel disconnected from their why. We’ll explore your direction, your voice, and help you shift from going through the motions into making art that moves people — and you.
-
Not at all. This mentorship is designed to meet you where you’re at. If you’re a hobbyist with a deep love for photography but no idea how to turn it into a business — we’ll cover it all: pricing, booking, confidence, creative direction, and how to hold space with intention. You don’t need a portfolio to begin. You just need your ‘yes.’
-
Yes — and in the best way. This isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about uncovering what actually lights you up again. Many photographers lose their spark because they’ve been operating from hustle or comparison for too long. This mentorship invites you to redefine success on your terms and get reconnected to why you started in the first place.
-
We’ll work on this. Pricing and worthiness are deeply connected — and this mentorship holds space for both the strategy and the self-belief. You’ll walk away knowing how to value your time, your eye, and the emotional experience you create for your clients.
-
That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring. You’ll learn how to guide women into deeper states of presence, safety, expression and embodiment — without needing to be “perfect” or fully healed yourself. You’ll develop your own way of facilitating, grounded in real skills and soulful integrity.
-
You're not alone in that. Visibility is a huge edge for many creatives. You’ll be supported not just to be seen professionally— but to be seen in your truth. This work is about safety in expression, embodiment, and reclaiming your confidence in real-time.
-
Yes. Through strategy and reflection, we’ll uncover the essence of your work so your brand voice becomes clear, authentic, and resonant. You’ll know how to communicate what you offer in a way that feels like you — and calls in the people you’re meant to work with.
-
Not at all. You’ll be supported to create your own framework — one that holds your creativity without diluting your impact. We don’t believe in niching in a box. We believe in cohesive expression that gives your passions space to live and evolve.
