Absolutely! Several mini courses in Flourish Library pair together seamlessly and are amazing compliments to one another and have been graciously paired together in bundles that can save you 15-30% when you buy both at once. You can also purchase a BIG BUNDLE and save as well, by choosing to purchase all mini courses together. Please note- discounts can not be applied post purchase- so please purchase solo courses with care.
NOPE! Most of the course is videos of me explaining and demonstrating exactly what I am teaching- so you can even listen when editing, or in the car if you would like to have a refresher after watching the visuals.
Due to the immediate access and instant course material sign in after purchase, there is no refunds or exchanges for any reason. This includes if you forget to enter your coupon you might have from the monthly membership! Please purchase with care and enter all coupons and emails with diligence.
This course is designed with the busy small business owner in mind and is organized into bite sized lessons/modules that are easy to follow, and digest. When growing my educational offerings it was important to me to offer courses that could be accessed on the students schedule- at anytime, anywhere. A lot of the lessons are videos with clear audio so you can stream and listen even when you are driving, or editing. Pairing with the visual learning is ideal, but you can watch and rewatch at your leisure.
Each mini course, and the monthly membership in Flourish Library are all stand alone content purchases and none of the content overlaps into another. Purchasing a course, you can confidently assume that all education is exclusive to that particular purchase. The monthly membership may cover newborn edits or sessions but will be unique lessons separate from this course's lessons.
A mini course in Flourish Library is like a bite sized mentorship focusing on one specific topic, or niche. It is similar in the way that it is education from one photographer to another. It is different in the way that it is not a back and forth of information, it is a one time purchase of a content course that is pre-created with photography growth in mind. Student/teacher access is more limited. It is similar to purchasing presets - a transaction.
So many clients are searching right now for exactly what you have to offer- and with a little growth and hard work you can be sure to offer an elevated experience that draws in the clients you dream of working with. Do you want to have a portfolio full of galleries you are proud of? It is time to believe bigger, and FLOURISH.
