Mentoring
I wouldn’t be the photographer I am today without the support, guidance and encouragement from others who have mentored me over the years.
These offerings come from my heart. I will walk alongside you and help you to become more of who you are, to step into your self, to explore your voice, to see the creativity that resides inside of you.

Day Date
Your own customized photoshoot + mentoring session. Before we begin our date, we will meet on zoom to chat about what you specifically need from this day so we can make the most of our time together when we meet in person. When we meet, we will be able to dig deeper and unearth what’s necessary for you to move toward your goals. After that, we will be shooting side by side with the models I select specifically for the areas you are wanting to grow or build your portfolio.
Following the shoot, we can upload the images, edit together and go over any struggles or questions you may have before wrapping up our day.
*lunch or dinner (depending on the time of day we schedule for) is included
$497
*bring a friend and save 100$ each!

Creative's Nest
Creatives Nest is a place for you to get out of your head and allow creativity to flow. It is a 1 month journey with both myself and Krista McNally, professional coach, where we guide you through all the stuck places, the places holding you back from thriving, the spaces you need to love yourself through and the spaces you need to step into more fully, in a playful, imaginative way.
Each week, you will have a group call with Krista and I where we will connect, talk about the following weeks creative assignments, and share about the previous week. Each week, both of us will give you homework (FUN!) and challenges (also FUN!), both aimed at getting you into a zone of play and getting out of your head. The final week of the journey, we will meet in person for a day of adventure and creative play.
Each week, we will also do a check in via a group chat, and are available for questions and sharing.
*this mentorship program is not just for photographers. Any person wanting to explore their potential creativity can join!
*begins March 4, 2024
$297/person max 15ppl
“Deedee makes learning photography about more than just the photos. She helps you find your purpose and worth along the way while you learn behind the lens. Her ability to make you feel comfortable and valuable is incredible. She doesn’t force you down a path that “fits best”, but instead helps you to create your own path, and that is a rare find.”
- Jill Bellefontaine
“Deedee has helped me grow creatively in a way I never thought possible. She wants me to succeed in my own vision; providing support while also pushing me to discover a creative side I tend to push down. What she sees in me, I am much closer to seeing in myself. I am more willing to take risks and go with the flow, truly embracing the families who step in front of my camera, as they are.
Self-care isn’t bubble baths and face masks, it’s chatting with Krista and being provided with a safe space to allow yourself to understand yourself at a deeper. Things click when she asks questions, perhaps it’s sorcery, but she’s given me tools I now practice every day.
Creative Nest has enabled me to set realistic and helpful boundaries that allow me to stay in my own inner peace, I’ve been given the support and space to give permission to myself to be the artist I never thought I could be, and create images showing the connection I had only ever seen others do. Krista and Deedee cheered me on in my successes and heard me when I’ve struggled to understand or explain my fears. I’m surer of myself and my ability to embrace myself and not who I think everyone else wants me to be. Deedee and Krista are an amazing duo; I felt heard, calm, understood, and creative, all the things I needed.” ~Kirsty Smart
