We remember what it's like to start a photography business from scratch. Working around the clock, worried about when your next paycheck would come in. Over a decade (and three kids) later, we've learned what it takes to become an official fastest-growing business. We want to help you achieve your dreams, too.
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH GETTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS UP AND RUNNING?
Cheers,
Phillip and Eileen
If you controlled your destiny, what history would you write? Viewing life in hindsight, the “highlights reel” reminds us how much we’re thankful for. But the story between the lines rarely feels well scripted. We often learned things the hard way. But the real heroes in our story are friends and mentors who’ve supported us.. and who continue to walk alongside us on this adventure!

One-on-one coaching puts you directly into the “kitchen” with the Blumes. First we’ll help you determine which coaching track best fits your needs — a single online session, full-day coaching at our studio, or a mentorship program designed around you. Next we’ll start with your pressing questions about business, marketing, equipment, technique, workflow.. any challenge you’re ready to overcome! We’ll share our recipes for success, add some open and honest conversation, then brainstorm and problem-solve to get your business cooking. Let simmer.. et voila!
Ready to create a turning-point for your business? The Blumes’ Workshops are designed to bring your art, business, and life into sharp focus — giving you practical tools for daily success. Make plans now to retreat with your instructors, Phillip & Eileen Blume, in the intimacy and intensity of this unique three-day experience.
