And I mean that with 100% seriousness. Going this road alone means too much trial and error, too much wasted time and frustration, and a whole lot of missed income potential. And don't get me started on how confidence and job satisfaction can suffer.

Finding the right mentor is like finding a shortcut from where you are to where you want to go. It's like traveling with a guide who's been this way before. And that means you can skip the trial and error and wasted time, and do your business and art like you want now - and earn more now!


The right education can change your life.

Styled shoots are intended to be added on to a mentorship or coaching. They provide the opportunity to photograph a beautifully styled session alongside me. Styled shoots are a huge portfolio boost, and you will have the chance to watch me work in person and apply the skills you're learning to a session while you have moment-by-moment guidance from me.

Photographing together is one of the most transformative learning experiences! It's like a personalized workshop, just for you. And btw, most of my students travel from out of state and make it into a mini-vacation as well!

A mentorship consists of a meeting or series of meetings (two hours each over Zoom). We dig into whatever is holding you back, so that you can overcome it. Maybe you know exactly what you need to learn, or maybe you don't. No matter what, I'm here to help, and I promise that you will learn tangible skills that make a real difference - I'm here to make change, not waste your time!

Mentorships are suitable for photographers of all stages, and are fully tailored to you. My students are more than students to me, and I'll be cheering you on well past the end of our official time together.

There are so many coaches and courses out there - so what might make me a great fit for you? Here's a little more about me and my approach to education:
  • I am all about problem solving, and getting real results. I spent several years as a software engineer, and while I ended up moving away from it long-term, what I loved was finding answers to complex problems. Quality, practical education is all about problem solving, and finding ways to get from point A to point B in a way that works for you.
  • I genuinely believe in your potential. I have spent my entire life looking at the potential in everything: how cute a house could be with a little work, what kind of business could be built off a great idea, etc. And I believe in YOU. I have no doubt that you can get where you want to go, with the right knowledge and tools and confidence.
  • I've been at this a long time. Since 2014, I've been navigating the wonderful, crazy creative industry and I've learned a lot. From all the ins and outs of lighting, film, and posing, to working with challenging clients, to creating a beautiful client experience, rebuilding my business from scratch in a new state, overcoming self-limiting mindsets, and more - I've been through it all. And even more importantly, I've worked with dozens and dozens of students just like you, and have helped them majorly transform their businesses. I love teaching, and my students love the results!

You want to learn. But why choose me?

I'm here to equip you with the skills you need to create the art you dream of, plus a thriving business. Seeing you thrive is my greatest success!

"I have been able to learn things that take people years to learn."

"When I started my photography journey a few months ago I felt like there was so much to learn so I decided to invest in a mentor. I was so lucky to have found Hannah Mann. During our mentorship she hasn’t just been an amazing teacher but also a true friend. Because of Hannah’s experience with photography I have been able to learn things that take people years to learn. Lighting, posing, editing, and how to use my camera settings are just a few things that she has taught me that have made me a better photographer. She has been able to guide me in almost every aspect of my business. I could not recommend Hannah enough to anyone that is looking for a mentor and friend."

"I had the incredible opportunity to participate in an online mentorship with Hannah. She is incredibly talented and has a true gift for teaching... I cannot recommend Hannah enough!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would. Thank you, Hannah!!!"

"She's given me the confidence to just do it..."

Hannah has mentored me for 8 months... I can’t really find the words to explain all that Hannah has helped me with but to summarize a few: editing, lighting, website, story telling, directing a session, location seeking, how to avoid color casting, and framing images properly. Seriously the list goes on and on.

Most importantly, she’s given me the confidence to just do it, trust myself, and shoot!

There has never been a question unanswered or a message left on read. She has truly held up her side of being a mentor and she is real and relatable!
