Is Your Photography Business Ready
to Sparkle & Shine Online?
Hi Sparkly Soul!
Are you ready to learn some social media for photographers {and creative entrepreneurs}? I know that you have a beautiful gift to share with the world... but sometimes, as creatives, we get so wrapped up in creating the magic that we completely forget that we need to be sharing and selling our art with strategy and purpose. And that's where I can help you.
Let me show you how to design a social media strategy that creates more engagement on your posts, grows your online following and increases your bookings!
I'll show you the exact strategies I have used to organically grow my fan base from barely 300 fans four years ago, to over 19,000 today! Social media is way more than just a place to show your photos; it's a place where you can speak to the heart of your ideal client, expand your circle of reach, and develop relationships that eventually translate to sales. I know it may feel overwhelming, but I'll be here, mentoring and encouraging you along the way.
In this monthly social media for photographers workshop, I'm going to show you everything you need to know to find your perfect client, use best practices in social media, leverage your Facebook page, make Instagram your jam, conquer video, and create a social media strategy that sets you up for continued success! All that fancy stuff... for LESS than a dollar a day!
Imagine feeling completely confident posting on social media each day for your photography business. Can you imagine knowing exactly what to post, where to post it, and when to post it? And what would it look like if you imagined where your business could be a year from now if you were able to grow your social media following with qualified potential clients?
May I come alongside you in this social media for photographers workshop?! You don't have to do this alone!
I'll teach you what I've learned and show you how I've built a huge social media following that's enabled me to leave my full-time job, hire a team of amazing women, be with my family more, and hit six-figures in sales three years in a row! With some hustle and heart, you can do it too, my friend! Are you ready? Link your arm in mine because it's time to shine online!

Sparkle Media was exactly what my business needed to take my marketing to the next level. To have a strategy for social media marketing is vital for successful marketing, but I didn't even know where to start. Every single aspect of this course has been beneficial and I am still finding myself fine tuning and learning new things from taking the course months ago. I have found my online voice, I am reaching more of my target market, I am finding myself finding a much larger organic reach than I ever expected! Sparkle Media has been a game changer for marketing, reaching my clients, reaching my goals, but also giving me back my life with my family. I don't spend hours upon hours trying to market on social media anymore. I know my strategy, I know my plan, and I'm seeing real results!

I have exciting news! I just posted my own maternity photos an tagged the company that made my dress! I just got a message from them on Instagram and they want to collaborate! I've also been working on implementing all the Instagram knowledge from Sparkle Media and it has definitely been paying off!!! My followers have been gradually and consistently increasing. I just had to let you know because I attribute this invitation to collaborate with one of my favorite clothing lines to you!!!
-
Immerse Workshops have been a serious game changer for my business. I have found my voice, confidence, and set my business on the path to success. The course allowed me to work at my pace, pause when I needed to take notes, and write my own ideas for how to implement the material. The engagement in the FB page has been amazing! The entire group has helped each other along the way! Cyrissa doesn't hold back at all and genuinely loved seeing all of our businesses grow in our own way. Thanks to Immerse Workshops, I am now booking more of my ideal clients, charging what I need to contribute to my family, and using Social Media to my advantage rather than being frustrated by all the new changes. I am not joking when I say this is by far the BEST investment made to my business to date.

I took Cyrissa's Sparkle Media course and all I can say is... MIND BLOWING!! The wealth of knowledge Cyrissa shares and teaches in unmeasurable. My social media numbers on Facebook and Instagram rose by almost 40% and continue to rise. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

Meet Your Mentor
Hey Love Muffin!
I'm Cyrissa, and I'm about to be your biggest cheerleader! I'm a photographer, highly trained teacher, and know that I was put here on this planet to love on and encourage others! This course wraps those three passions into one big sparkly gift of awesomeness!
I have a Masters in Art Education and spent ten years teaching in a highly awarded Ohio school district. Thousands of students, both children and adults, have come through my classroom. Why does that matter for you? Well, I've got the experience and knowledge to be able to teach in a way you will truly understand. Ever read or listened to something that went right over your head? Not here. Not in Sparkle Media.
I'm going to explain everything in a simple way... so you understand. And, if you don't, we'll keep working on it - together.
I'm known for encouraging and mentoring other photographers... and have a reputation for being social media savvy. I teach workshops and mentor small groups of photographers on a regular basis, and consider many of my past participants my friends... not just clients.
On a professional note, I was a featured on-stage guest on two CreativeLive Courses {Instagram & Social Media}, the Photography Power Hour, have spoken at pro-photographer events and WordPress conferences, and been a guest on Sticky Albums, Swift Galleries, the Sprouting Photographer, Cashtography, the Canada Photo convention, the Gift Biz Breeze, My Creative Biz Coach, and several others! I've written a published article in the Ohio Journal for Gifted Children, been published on the cover of Where Women Create Business, and have been a guest blogger on the Photography Spark, Senior Style Guide, Iris-Works, and the Confetti Bar.
My business has been built with a strong grassroots marketing focus. My followers and my clients come exclusively through word of mouth marketing, hashtags, and intentional social media strategy.
I've grown my company to a place where my reservation books consistently sell out within two hours and I always have a waiting list.
And I've done all that without blogging or using SEO on my website. By strategically and authentically sharing my voice on social media, employing strong business skills to back my talent, and creating multiple different streams of revenue, I've been able to grow my six-figure company and help support my family with my photography. I'd love to help you do the same.
I know that, with this course and a lot of hustle and heart, you can drastically change your everyday life too.
And you can do it RIGHT NOW. I'm ready to link arms and support you through the challenge. Are you?

Sparkle Media has been a game changer with my photography business! Since I took the course, I have over tripled my total followers between the various social media platforms.Through the course, I gained a strong understanding of social media and the various platforms.now use that new knowledge to help grow my business and post with a purpose. Cyrissa does an amazing job breaking down the content into little chunks that are easily understood…and of course, her sparkly personality shines through with everything she does which makes watching the videos enjoyable! Taking Sparkle Media has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my business.
-
Cyrissa’s course has taken me from feeling like I was just surviving in my business to feeling like I am proactively pursuing the successful business I have dreamed of. I feel like I am now in charge of the direction and success of my business- not just reacting to what gets thrown my way. She shares her knowledge with passion that is contagious and creates a class environment that leads to an authentic and supportive community- something I am truly thankful for!
-
This course was eye opening and the most useful educational experience I have had with an online marketing approach. The content is easy to understand and presented in the most fun way possible. If you have never taken a class with Cyrissa, you are missing out on a fun and critical way of improving your business reach. I completely trusted that this class would transform our online marketing audience, but I was still surprised by the quick changes and higher numbers of followers across our social media accounts. We saw impressive growth on Instagram and Facebook as well as our website. One of the biggest things I can say about this class is that the participant interaction made this more like a group of friends than classmates. We had great brain storming times where we bounced ideas off of each other across multiple business types, that worked for all of us and at the same time helped us to encourage each other when things didn't go quite like we wanted them to. Don't hesitate, sign up now to change your business for the better!

My confidence as a photographer has definitely soared since joining Sparkle Media. I've TRIPLED my following {in just 3 months} and received positive feedback from other photographers who I really respect and admire! I'm always booked and actually could use some down time! Joining Sparkle media has been one of the best investment decisions I've made in my photography business. People ask me all the time where I get my clients from and my answer is always the same, "Social media and word of mouth." My SEO sucks to be honest but I don't care since I have plenty of work from building and maintaining a social media presence. Not to mention I've gained some great friends from Sparkle Media. We constantly encourage and support each other long after the classes have ended and that is really cool. Cyrissa makes it all fun and personal, AND she knows her stuff and you will learn a TON!! Especially since before i created my business, I only dabbled a little on Facebook and thought social media just looked like a lot of work. It actually turned out to be the life force to my business, not to mention fun engaging with old and new friends along the way! I could not more highly recommend investing in Sparkle Media for you and your photography business!

The Sparkle courses have exceeded my expectations and have taken my brand new business so much further than I ever imagined. Cyrissa is an amazing instructor, she is so encouraging and a wealth of information. This class has done wonders for my business. I took the workshop my first season in business, and applying the knowledge I gained from Sparkle Courses, I was able to sell out my summer sessions plus my social media following has more than doubled. I'm excited to move forward with my business and to continue the friendships I made within the Sparkle Sisterhood Community.

I am one of those artsy people that you hear about. You hear about how they "could have" done so well, if only they had know the business end of the art. While I honed, and learned, and perfected my art, my business was floundering from lack of marketing skills and client skills. I think Cyrissa set this course up just for me. The social outlet aspect of it is well worth the money. Since I took this course, my business has literally taken off. All of my fall sessions booked except for one, and this was just the first month of doing the course! It has already paid for itself. If you are just starting out, I suggest you learn the business aspect BEFORE you move on to the art. This is an excellent place to start!

Sparkle Media is kind of like ice cream. You like it. Love it. Gotta have it! However, it is NOT a walk in the park but BIG THANKS to my trusted coach, teacher and friend Cyrissa she makes understanding how to use Social Media to grow my business easy & fun! The classes are super easy to follow but chalk full of helpful information in how to make my voice/post online stand out from my competitors I have learned strategies that save me time and has increased my clientele in booking video shoots. Also, the class interaction with your fellow Sparkles is something that doesn't just stop once the class is done. I still connect, encourage, and feel the support from my Sparkle Media Class. It's a great investment for your business because love it or hate it... social media is a game changer for businesses these days.
