I've been teaching online courses since 2018, and am known for my transformational skill based courses and offerings. Our focus at CMP Education is laying the groundwork for solid technical skills for lifestyle newborn and family photographers so that you can produce beautiful, consistent results again and again, and build the business of your dreams.
CMP Education was born out of the desire to equip professional lifestyle newborn and family photographers with the skills they need to build a solid foundation for a thriving, successful business. After all, what can you build without a solid foundation? Not much, my friend.
Many online educators in our niche focus on how to price yourself and sell products for impressive revenue numbers, but there's a huge gap in the coverage of the technical skills you need to stand out in a saturated market. To get noticed, you need to be CONSISTENT. You need to have a solid workflow, and leave your clients raving about how you crated magic in their dark home, or orchestrated a session that flowed so easily, they're dying to come back.
That's where CMP comes in.
I was hoping to gain knowledge and skills to be able to consistency photograph in-home newborn sessions. I got that and so much more. Courtney's course has allowed me SO much more confidence!
