The Embodied Photography Mentorship
For photographers who hold space through the lens and want to deepen their creative identity, refine their business with intention, and step into embodied, sustainable leadership.
For the woman who knows she is made for something deeper...
You don’t want to just take beautiful photos. You want to feel something in the process.
You want your work to change lives — starting with your own.
Maybe you’ve spent years circling your passion. Picking it up, putting it down.
Maybe you’ve built a small photography business but feel disconnected, uninspired, or uncertain about what comes next.
Maybe you’ve watched others rise, wondering if you missed your moment or if you’re still allowed to want more.
Maybe you’re running a photography business already, but you're tired. Stuck in patterns. Capturing what pays the bills, but not what moves your soul.
Maybe you’ve always known you're meant to hold something sacred in this lifetime — something creative, something powerful but it hasn’t landed yet.
Or maybe...
You’ve always known your lens sees differently.
That you’re here not just to photograph but to witness, to guide, to hold.
To create spaces where women feel seen in their power, not just poses.
This mentorship is for the woman who wants her photography to mean something.
Who wants to feel lit up by her work again.
Who wants to stop questioning whether she’s ready and just begin.
You can have a photography business that is...
✓ Deeply fulfilling — not just visually impressive.
✓ Rooted in presence, connection, and soul-led strategy.
✓ Financially sustainable without selling your integrity.
✓ Known for how you make people feel, not just what you deliver.
✓ A vessel for personal evolution — yours and your clients'.
✓ In alignment with your cyclical nature as a woman.
You don’t have to keep faking confidence. You don’t have to figure it out alone. You don’t have to sacrifice the artistry to build the business.
You get to do this your way — but with support, structure, momentum and systems behind you.
This could be for you if...
✓ You’re a hobbyist ready to turn this into your job or soul-led career.
✓ You’re in the industry already, but feel lost, stuck, or uninspired.
✓ You want to stop doubting yourself and start creating your own framework.
✓ You’ve never facilitated a session with depth before — but you want to.
✓ You’re scared to call yourself a space-holder — but feel called to it.
✓ You want to feel more connected to the women you shoot, and be known for holding that kind of magic.
✓ You crave consistency in bookings, confidence in your skillset, and clarity in your brand.
✓ You want to make work that matters — and be proud of the business behind it.

This wasn’t an overnight success.
It’s been a over decade of grit. Grief. Growth.
I started in 2012, charging $50 for formal photoshoots and editing in between homework. I always knew I was meant to be a photographer but belief alone doesn’t quiet the outside noise.
People doubted me. I doubted me.
I started and stopped. Went full time, then back to part time. Picked up casual shifts in hospitality to stay afloat. Paused the dream. Reignited it. Questioned if it was worth it.
And yet — I couldn’t not do this work. Even when I didn’t know how it would unfold, I kept returning. I’ve adapted again and again. Changed my offerings, my style, my story. I know what it’s like to lose momentum. To feel like everyone else has it figured out while you’re still “figuring it out.”
But I also know what it takes to build something that lasts.
This is not a mentorship built on theory. It’s built on lived experience and a deep knowing of what it means to hold a creative vision through the mess, the fear, and the fire.
Hi — I’m Sophie and this is my story...
After deciding to follow what I loved (despite the doubts), I studied a Bachelor of Photography at university, majoring in Social Documentary. That laid the foundation but the real education came from saying yes to almost everything.
From freelancing for The Urban List and shooting for Domino’s Australia…To documenting retreats and NGOs, photographing for cafes, food blogs, product launches, maternity sessions, family portraits, lifestyle campaigns, events, and editorials.
I’ve worked across industries, styles, and cities both interstate and internationally— learning not only how to photograph, but how to hold space, adapt, lead, collaborate, and create meaningful images that tell real stories.
Now, my focus is on working with women through embodiment-based photography — from boudoir and self-love sessions, to sisterhood shoots, to soulful branding imagery for holistic and creative entrepreneurs.
I’m also a web designer and creative business mentor, which means I deeply understand the multi-faceted nature of running a creative business and how to make it sustainable.
Whether you’re brand new to photography or navigating the pivot into something more aligned, I bring not just skill and insight, but heart and hype. I’ve been where you are — and I’m here to show you what’s possible.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
