elevate your photography

Mentorship with Linda Leyva

Growing Your Skill, Strengthening Your Purpose

Let’s be honest…

photography can feel overwhelming.
Some days you’re proud of your work, and other days you’re wondering why the lighting feels off, why posing suddenly got awkward, or why you’re editing the same image three different ways because nothing looks consistent.

This mentorship is your reset.
A full day to breathe, slow down, and get real support — support that helps you understand why things aren’t clicking and how to finally get the consistency and clarity you’ve been craving.

Together, we’ll break things down in a way that feels grounded, simple, and doable.

You are Ready for Growth.

This is for the photographer who’s tired of:

  • Feeling unsure about lighting setups

  • Struggling to pose clients who aren’t models

  • Editing for hours because nothing feels “right”

  • Second-guessing pricing or feeling underpaid

  • Wanting to look professional but feeling like something’s missing

  • Feeling capable… but also stuck

I see you. Truly.

And here’s the good news: every one of these struggles has a clear, simple solution — and that’s exactly what we’ll work through together.

If growth has been on your heart, this is your space to step into it.

Strengthening Your Skills With Intention

Here’s what we’ll focus on — and why it matters:

• Studio Lighting (Made Simple)
If you’re tired of guessing, hoping, or fighting with shadows, I’ll help you build go-to setups that work every single time and walk away with cheat sheets and resources to feel confident.

• Posing Real People
Most clients aren’t models — and that’s okay.
I’ll teach you posing flows that feel natural and flattering without sounding bossy or awkward.

• Client Direction + Confidence
If you freeze up or overthink, we’ll practice real scripts and cues so directing becomes second nature.

• Clean, Consistent Editing
If editing drains you, we’ll simplify your process so you spend less time tweaking and more time shooting.

• Workflow + Session Flow
If you feel scattered, we’ll create a simple structure that keeps you grounded and confident from start to finish.

• Business Clarity
If pricing or boundaries feel stressful, we’ll walk through how to structure things in a way that feels aligned, confident, and clear.

Everything is taught in plain language, tailored to you —

no ego, no gatekeeping, no overwhelm.

Everything You Receive in This Experience

This isn’t a “watch me and take notes” kind of day.
This is hands-on, real, and completely tailored to you.

You’ll receive:

✎ A full in-studio day together
✎ Real practice shooting with live feedback
✎ Simple lighting breakdowns you can actually repeat
✎ Posing demos for different body types + comfort levels
✎ A model session to practice directing confidently
✎ Portfolio review with honest, gentle guidance
✎ An editing and workflow refresh
✎ Business + pricing support
✎ Follow-up support so you don’t feel lost the next day

My goal is for you to leave saying,
“Oh… this finally makes sense.”

Your Investment Into the Next Season

Think of this as planting a seed into your next chapter — the season where your work feels consistent, your sessions feel smoother, and you feel more confident walking into your studio.

Why I Pour Into Other Creatives

I teach because I remember the struggle — the guessing, the late-night editing, the feeling of being talented… but unsure.

Over the years, I’ve strengthened my lighting, refined my posing, built photography and business systems that feel right, and learned how to serve clients with confidence instead of chaos.

And now, I pour that back into other photographers because I believe your gift deserves support.


I believe in growth that feels steady.

And I believe God places creativity in us for a reason — it’s meant to be nurtured, shared, and strengthened.

If you’re ready to grow, I’m ready to walk with you.

with love,

Linda Leyva
