POSING ALL BODY TYPES

Portrait photography is more than just flattering angles—it’s a responsibility. Representing your subject with care, accuracy, and artistry requires intentional posing that honors every body. Audrey teaches photographers how to direct with confidence, guiding all body types into flattering poses.

Mastering light is one of the most powerful tools in photography. It lets you shape the mood, highlight your subject, and shoot confidently in any setting. Audrey teaches how to gain creative control and consistency that natural light alone can't promise.

Most Popular MENTORSHIP Topics

We begin by dissecting each photographer’s existing work so growth is built forward from what already exists, not reshaped to mirror my own style. From there, we create a clear, intentional plan: which techniques need to be learned, how to practice them with purpose, and how to apply them consistently in real client work, so progress is repeatable, not dependent on happy accidents.

Virtually, we go deep. We break down lighting using visual references and learn how to identify lighting techniques simply by studying other artists’ work. We explore lighting psychology, the emotional impact of light, and the difference between taking a picture and making a picture, because intention is what allows quality to be maintained across every client experience.

We also cover posing for every body type, directing with clarity and confidence, and making informed gear decisions, what to invest in for the work you want to create, and what to avoid so money is not wasted chasing trends or other people’s setups.

While I will be offering online guides for those who prefer that style of learning, my primary focus will always be 1:1 mentorship, both virtual and in person. That is where true devotion, care, and nuance live. It is the kind of education I searched for and could not find, so I built it myself. This work is rooted in the belief that photographers grow most when they feel fully seen, supported, and guided as individuals, not as templates.

The goal is not dependency or repetition, but confidence, longevity, and evolution, knowledge that stays with you and continues to serve you long after our time together ends.

Learning Through Creation

This collection of work showcases the final creative work produced during hands-on, mentored shoots with photographers and emerging creatives. Each project is guided in real time—on set and in the moment—through thoughtful direction, intentional lighting, cohesive styling, and clear subject leadership, while still allowing space for the artist behind the camera to execute and develop their own voice.

Rather than theoretical lessons or workbook-style education, these films reflect learning that happens through doing. They capture the outcome of collaboration, live feedback, and confident decision-making as it unfolds—showing how elevated imagery is built when creatives are supported, challenged, and trusted within a guided framework.

This section lives within my education and mentoring work and offers a window into how I teach: side-by-side, in real environments, shaping instincts through practice and helping photographers step into creative authority through experience.

Before

My virtual 1:1 mentorships are designed as an in-depth, collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum or a single call. Over the course of several weeks, I work closely with each photographer to understand their current style, technical foundation, and creative instincts, along with where they want to evolve and what is truly holding them back.

I am someone who deeply values education. I am classically trained with a BFA from SCAD and have invested countless dollars beyond that in my own continued learning. I have experienced nearly every format available, what felt transformative, what fell flat, what was worth the investment, and what was simply repackaged information. That perspective shapes how I mentor. I do not teach from theory alone; I teach from lived experience, trial, refinement, and discernment.

Virtural Learning

Week 1

Week 2

"I’m a self professed ‘natural light photographer’ and studio lighting scared the crap out of me because it felt SO overwhelming. Audrey was able to look at my current work and give me easy and actionable steps based on the lights I already had (but barely used). I was able to send her my images after applying her feedback for critique and the difference in just 1-2 sessions was ASTRONOMICAL. 

The best part was learning the why behind what I was doing so I knew how to replicate it in different scenarios based on the look I wanted to achieve. I had yet to find an educator that broke things down in that way. 

Thank you Audrey!!"
