I once felt so alone as a beginner photographer, struggling to find my way in this field. I couldn't bear the thought of letting one more person experience the loneliness growth can bring. It wasn't until I discovered a community of like-minded photographer friends that I truly began to flourish. Having friends who understand the highs and lows of this creative journey, who were experiencing the exact same motions, was incredibly helpful. It was a turning point in my career and personal growth.
That's why I created the Ultimate Photography Workshop (TFW). Yes, it's about teaching and educating, but it's also about something more profound – building a supportive community. I believe that together, we can achieve so much more. The camaraderie, the shared passion, and the collective knowledge are what set us apart.
You're leveling up in your photography business but it's been a lonely road.

"TFW was life changing for my business! Before taking Payton's workshop, I felt so alone in the industry. My client experience was….. I’ll say subpar and my marketing and connection with clients on a personal level was non-existent. Now I’ve double my followers, am booked during busy seasons (sometimes overbooked) and have personal relationships with my clients where we can really be ourselves and enjoy hanging out together! Most importantly, I’m involved in a community full of growing and inspiring photographers in more than one county!"
Sarah
got connected:
"Before attending the Taking Flight workshop, photography was a side gig. After attending I gained the confidence to take it full-time and I couldn’t be happier! From nailing down a workflow and editing more consistently to now having knowledge to run my side gig as a legit business. So incredibly thankful for this workshop and for Payton’s heart to help others grow in something she’s so passionate about."
Emily
went full-time:
"Payton gave me so much help and direction! She helped me create a strategic plan for posting on social media (which has always been a struggle for me), organize my workflows, and helped me nail indoor camera settings. I was able to get her opinion on editing and what to look for in slight adjustment that helped my work tremendously. She inspired me to get a website up and going, which I’m so excited about! It’s been on my list for so long and Payton helped me get in contact with the right person that could help me get it going! Overall, in such a small amount of time we covered SO much and I finally have a game plan for the future!"
