my services

let’s CELEBRATE THE SEASON YOU’RE IN.

I’m passionate about helping you tell your written or visual story.

COACHING & SELF-PUBLISHING

I am a published author of 15 books and a Certified Christian Life Coach with my own publishing company.

As a Dream Defender, I’m so proud of my many clients who have become small business owners, published authors, and more! Let me help you tell your written story. I use a four-point coaching questionnaire that helps me assess your life, creative arts, business, and spiritual direction. I can meet in person (if you’re local to the Quad Cities) or over Zoom. Do you need help with:

  • Branding/Launching a new website, social media, and/or business for your book or photography?
  • Writing and/or self-publishing your book?
  • Growing in your photography (mentoring)?

the FAQ

To schedule a one-on-one coaching session, contact me here. I will send you a questionnaire and request that you share whatever materials you want me to review before the session; including your book manuscript, website, social media links, etc. to maximize our time together during the Zoom call or in-person meeting. I record each meeting so you don’t have to take notes, and I will send a follow-up email with notes and any homework discussed in the session.

$150 per hour for a one-on-one coaching session over Zoom or in person.

Most artists, authors, creatives, or photographers typically need 1-3 sessions.

PHOTOGRAPHY & WEDDINGS

I am a storytelling and wedding photographer.

As a professional photographer, I love helping clients document their visual stories. If each picture is worth a thousand words and each photoshoot has 40-60 photos, that’s enough words for a visual book! I specialize in families, maternity, and newborn. My style is vibrant and candid. I believe in coming in close to evoke emotion in motion, which brings your authentic and best expressions to life.

I use a questionnaire to help me learn more about your vibe and to find out if you need help picking a location or styling (what to wear). Below are the most frequently asked questions regarding booking a photography session.

SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS

I’m a women’s speaker and workshop host!
