Opportunity to shadow/shoot
I will be hosting 3 online group masterclasses where I will be critiquing your images; sharing one of my full wedding galleries and showing you exactly how I take my images from 'RAW to Phwoar.' Each of these will allow you to ask questions as I go and interact. These will be available to re-watch.
Meet up with other mentees on two practice shoots. We will be heading out on a beautiful golden hour pre-wedding shoot in Summer* followed by a night time off-camera flash practice shoot in late Autumn*. Lots of time to ask questions and experiment without any pressure!
*exact dates TBC but will be weekdays
Come along with me to a real wedding day where you have the chance to watch me work, watch live how I use a variety of lighting techniques and build great rapport with my couples. You can choose to just watch and take it in, or do some shooting yourself.
*subject to availability
Join me each month for a bespoke 90 minute zoom meeting, focused solely on your business goals and learning targets. Each session is designed around you, your goals and the areas you wish to improve. I have mentored photographers who were 8 weeks into business to those with over 20 years of full time experience. No topics are off-limits!
I'm not really sure how mentoring works and if it's right for me. Can we have a chat?
FAQ
01.
Absolutely! For many of us, we kind of stumbled our way into photography and never really had anyone help us in the day to day running and building of our businesses. My job as a mentor isn't to magically appear with all of the answers. It's to ask you the right questions so that you can find the answers that are right for you and your business. There's no one size fits all in this industry so let's chat and see if we're a good fit!
If I decide to go ahead, what's the process?
02.
Once I stop doing my happy dance around my office, I will send you the link to the invoice. As soon as it is paid you will then receive a questionnaire to complete which will give me a really great overview of you, your business and the areas of support you would like. With regards to booking your sessions in, it's super easy to see my availability and book yourself in via a Calendly link. All meetings will be held weekdays between 11am and 8pm UK time. It's advised that we do one session per month and all sessions must be completed within 12 months.
Is there a specific list of topics that we cover?
03.
Every single one of my mentoring sessions is completely bespoke to each of my amazing photographers. Apart from our first meeting where we do a wide overview of your business and your online presence, I don't have any 'must have' sessions because our time is precious. You're making a big investment in me and I want you to have the most of every minute. What we cover each month depends very much on what you would like to cover and spend time on whether it's curating your instagram feed, editing images together, website critique, finding your ideal client tasks, whatever we do it will be with my absolute full attention and passion!
If Carlsberg made mentoring rcviews...
A catch-up at the start of each session helps to ease you in, getting you ready for the magic that is Helen's knowledge.
But it's not just the friendly, fun and wacky demeanour that makes Helen stand out; it's her ability to make you see your business, your photography, and your marketing in a whole new light. She's like the Mary Poppins of mentorship - practically perfect in every way, except with a lot more sass.
And let's not forget about her knack for challenging the status quo. While others may stick to the tried-and-true methods, Helen encourages you to think outside the box. In my case, Helen didn’t pull her punches, I wouldn’t want her to. I need the full on approach, this is what I got and it is exactly what pushes me to strive for those greater goals, improve my marketing, my website and my overall view of my business.
But perhaps the best part about Helen is her unwavering commitment to authenticity. In a world full of Instagram filters and Photoshop wizardry, she's like a breath of fresh air - She reminds us that real beauty lies in embracing our quirks and imperfections, and that sometimes, it's okay to let our freak flags fly. Just check out Helen's website, those quirks and personality scream out at you!
So if you're looking for a photography mentor who's equal parts hilarious and insightful, look no further than Helen Williams. With her by your side, you'll not only enhance your business and your knowledge but also gain a newfound appreciation for the art of photography - and maybe even for the occasional fart joke!"
"So I’ve been a wedding photographer for a number of years now. I have achieved something great in regards to my knowledge and my business. I seem to be performing well in saturated and competitive business, but, not being one to settle with what I had, I wanted to ensure I was investing in myself and my business to further strive forward to not only reach, but exceed my desired goals.
One way I thought to do this is to seek the guidance of someone who is absolutely smashing the wedding photography industry and making waves so big, that I need to strap on my arm bands and unicorn rubber ring and ride those waves!
After looking around, there are so many amazing photographers out there doing their thing, but someone stood out. They stood out due to their amazing work, which was colourful, fun, energetic and showed a personality that shone through in their images.
This stand out photographer is the enigma that is Helen Williams.
Helen Williams isn't just any old photography mentor; she's the Gandalf of the camera world, leading us through the wilds of marketing and photography with the wisdom of a sage and the humour of a pissed up Welsh comedian.
First off, let's talk about her teaching style. Forget boring lectures and dry PowerPoint presentations; Helen's approach is more like a comedy show with a side of valuable insights. And yes, you better believe that topics like "boobs, bogeys, and farts" are fair game in her sessions.
And another review i did not pay for!
Every mentoring session leaves me feeling energized, confident, and ready to tackle whatever comes next. Her wealth of knowledge is truly remarkable, and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done to help me succeed. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her!
Emma Staley, Wedding Photographer, Hampshire, UK
Working with Helen has been nothing short of life-changing. From day one, she has been an unwavering source of guidance, support, and inspiration as I built my photography business from the ground up. Her expertise and enthusiasm are unmatched, and she has taught me so much—not just about photography, but about how to navigate the challenges of running a business.
Thanks to her mentorship, I’ve achieved milestones I never thought possible, including winning prestigious awards and gaining the confidence to push creative boundaries. Her no-nonsense approach is exactly what I needed to stay focused and driven, yet she always knows when to show compassion and patience.
