Hi! My name is Bernadette, but you can call me Bern.
I’m a photography coach based in Salt Lake City, Utah. After graduating with a degree in photography, I have spent two decades (and counting) as a commercial freelance photographer, entrepreneur, and marketing professional.
If the idea of finally achieving your goals, improving your mindset, building confidence, and attracting more of your ideal clients makes you excited and hopeful for your future, you are in the right place!
With me by your side, you will make more progress each day toward your goals, have more accountability in your life, and finally engage with the version of yourself you’ve been desperate for.
“I highly highly recommend hiring Bern as your coach! Her knowledge is extremely valuable!”
-Brittany Harrison || Utah Brand Photographer
Think of our time together like a highly productive chat with a friend over coffee.
I’m here to serve both new and well-established photographers one-on-one. This is a customizable process because growth and success happens when we tap into your individual needs.
I hold space for any personal or emotional struggles you are facing that are most likely affecting your business life, and growth. If you're a creative, then chances are you feel the best and most productive in your work when you are more fully aligned.
If the idea of talking through areas of photography or business with someone that might understand what you’re going through better than your partner, friend, or family member, I’m here for you!
I hold a comfortable space for you to be you, no one else. These are honest conversations so you can build the business you are stoked on!
If you're craving more confidence, honesty, and growth, this process is for you.
These are just a few areas I'm working on with my current clients:
Improving Mindset [imposter syndrome & perfectionism]
Building more confidence
Getting clear about a new direction or path
Achieving your goals [attracting more clients, learning more marketing approaches, building your business]
Overcoming personal life blocks so you can progress your business forward
Getting past the fears that are holding you back
I’m here to help you discover [and encourage growth in] the personal areas that are holding you back in your business - this is where the magic happens and confidence builds!
Holding space for you to expand past your limiting beliefs and full potential as a photographer and business owner is what I love to do. This solopreneur path can be intimidating and sometimes scary, I’m here for you!
{Let me break down the steps of working with me}
01
After you fill out my simple questionnaire, I’ll give you access to my calendar, where you can pick a time and schedule your first free session. During that first call, we will figure out what challenges you're facing right now and what goals you have for our time together. We will determine a light outline for achieving your goals.
02
Following our discovery call, I’ll email you with my thoughts on how our time together went. I’ll also suggest a plan for you moving forward. I’ll ask you for your thoughts as well, and check in with you to make sure you think we are a good fit. If so, I'll send you a standard agreement to sign, we will establish a payment plan, then schedule your next session!
03
Beyond our one-on-one time together, you can count on me to be your accountability partner with emails and plenty of Q&A opportunities throughout the weeks & months over email and chat! We will check in often so we both feel comfortable about the process and your progression. I’m here with you every step of the way!
Options for 1-12 sessions (1-4 months)
Our time together and apart will advance your business and personal goals much faster than you can do it alone. The process will be comprehensive, customizable, and more long-term. In between our Zoom sessions, we will utilize Slack chat for accountability check-ins and Q&A.
View this incredible business investment as one trip to the grocery store or a one-month household gym membership. Remember, investing in this process means we’re in this together. I'm dedicated to helping you make space for you that doesn't feel intimidating or scary so can make big changes, attract more of your ideal clients, and grow your business.
On your discovery call, we can determine what your goals are, discuss options, and align you with a service that will be best suited to achieve those goals.
You don’t have anything to lose…
