Remember that rush when you first took a picture you were proud of or got a paying client? 

It's a thrilling feeling, right? We also know that it sometimes gets lost with the burden of running your business, becoming a professional marketer and making a profit. 

so you picked up a camera and started dreaming...

you knew how to tackle the old school mindset and be successful without mountains in your instagram feed? 

what if you had the understanding so you can connect with your midwest audience? 

but what if it was easier? 

what IF

As a photographer in the Midwest, you have to know your shit. 

Settings, ever changing light, neon spring green tones, and serving our clients through alllllllll the situations MATTERS here. 

While a rainy day wedding with no cover, freak snow storm or harsh light (maybe all in one day) FEELS like a downfall- look again. Through the fire of learning on the go you've become a hardy Midwestern photographer. You know how to tackle whatever is thrown at you- that's something other markets don't have. We're resourceful, cool under pressure and would totally win a game of photography survivor.

I highly recommend Midwest Is Best to everyone I know! I spent many years undervaluing my work, frustrated with not being able to find my personal brand, countless hours of research of how to better my business but always ended up in confusion & wasted so much money.

Megan & Morgan are successful photographers so I knew I could trust their advices. They covered EVERYTHING it takes to manage a business, whether you’re a photographer or not: how to start, how to gain experience, how to sound like a human & get the clients you want, how to even plan a productive day while still being able to spend time with family & friends, etc!

Midwest Is Best gave me the knowledge & the confidence to take my business to a whole ’nother level, helped me establish my business as a LLC, how to actually pay myself, & build better client relationships! It was worth every single penny & every single sweat & tears to get to where I’ve always wanted to be!”

After taking the course & using everything I learned from them, the inquiries & payments came flooding in, even from outside of the state!

From calculating and understanding the cost of doing business, to streamlining your posing, to understanding social media and branding - this class covers it ALL and covers it well. The community support from the other members of the course was priceless. Thank you Megan and Morgan!!

Enrolling in The Midwest is Best is one of the best decisions I made for my budding photography business.

Morgan and Megan have built a community; they aren’t teachers talking to you but rather mentors walking beside you. They are truly there to help you build your legacy and cheer on your success.

think you're too new to the industry? our student megan just picked up a camera months before and her business has skyrocketed 

I not only learned so much about photography but also the culture in which the region I live in. And how that affects my business, my clients, and overall the way I want to be perceived by individuals.

Beyond all, the knowledge that I gained through each course was incredibly valuable. I think one of the best things about Midwest is for the first time since college, I felt a sense of belonging. That there was a group of people that feel the same way I did and that I just felt that it was so inclusive. The community aspect was so so important.

During the course, I realized how important finding your own community is. And that allowed me to feel like I was a part of something bigger. I am forever thankful for this just for the simple fact of feeling so validated and that everything I was feeling about my work and the industry was okay.

Beyond getting my gear, purchasing the Midwest is best course has been one of the best things for my business.

Midwest is Best has boosted my confidence as a photographer and business owner. Morgan and Megan come at you with two different perspectives in the same industry and really help you find your place, your vision in your brand.

The reason I was drawn to their course was because I wanted to learn more than just one aspect of the photography industry and business ownership. They didn’t push niching down but instead recognize the unique market we live in and importance of quality client experience. 

They covered everything from determining your cost of doing business, pricing, tracking expenses, working a wedding day and different lighting. I am 1000% more confident with posing my clients to make everyone comfortable to create authentic emotion and interactions.

They share all of their knowledge and their experience from their years in the industry. They aren’t afraid to share their numerous mistakes and what they’ve learned from them. Something Morgan and Megan really drive home is how to balance it all and set boundaries to maintain sanity during the busiest of seasons.

or if you've been in the industry for a few years and need a boost in your business

This is a big investment of your time, money, and business so ASK away. We've both invested in education before and have left feeling underwhelmed. We've also left feeling like we're on cloud 9 and can take on the world/our business. We want the latter for you. So ask the questions and make sure this is the most perfect fit possible.
