Is Your Photography Business Ready
to Sparkle, Shine & Succeed?
Hey Sweet Photographer!
Are you ready for some business coaching for photographers?! 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 you are, indeed, running a business. And that's where I can help you.
I consistently sell-out my photoshoots in two hours and always have a waiting list. Want the same? Let me show you how to design a strategy for your photography business that creates successful {and sustainable} long-term growth; leading to more bookings and sales for your photography business!
I'll show you the exact strategies I have used to launch my business {even though I had ZERO marketing or business training} and what I did to survive {and thrive} in an incredibly over-saturated market, full of talented photographers! I know it may feel overwhelming, but I'll be here, mentoring and encouraging you every step of the way.
In this eight week business for photographers course, I'm going to show you everything you need to start {or grow} your beloved photography business. We'll make sure you're legal, you know who you are, you're priced for profit and that you're using social media, email marketing, and an array of other tools to work smarter {not harder} to grow your photography business.
Imagine feeling completely confident in your business strategy and knowing that, despite any ups and downs in the market, you have a long-term plan for success. We'll start with the basics and build your learning from there; so that even users who are already comfortable with some basic business strategies will walk away with new skills! If you are in your first three years of business, there's something for you here!
May I come alongside you in this business for photographer's workshop?! You don't have to waste hours online trying to figure it out and you definitely don't have to do this alone!
I'll teach you what I've learned and show you how I've built a company 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 two 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!

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?
No More Sitting On The Fence
This amazing course is only offered ONCE a year! Believe in yourself, plan to have more time with your family, and invest in your business RIGHT NOW! No more waiting. No more wishing. Let's make it happen NOW! You deserve to sparkle and shine. I'll show you the way.
Risk Free Guarantee
I’m very confident that you’re going to find so much value from Sparkle School that a refund will never even cross your mind! But, if it makes you feel better, yes – I do offer a refund with a few conditions. Since each course has a limited number of seats, you may not request a refund until we are one week into the course. If, after completing your first module, you decide you’re not a good match for the workshop – I will refund your investment. But, THESE COURSES DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU DO, so in order to qualify for a refund, you must show proof that you have completed all of that module’s assignments. All requests must be made PRIOR to the start of module two. Once that begins, no refunds will be given.
Bonuses & Interviews From Industry Experts
