If you are looking for a mentor who gives you 1000% and is truly present for every step of the process, Cat is your person. She doesn’t hold anything back. She shares everything from her own successful business, and if that’s not enough she keeps updating and adding to her classes, so you just keep learning and staying current.

Foundation to freedom was an amazing course. Cat is an incredible educator and truly cares about all of us succeeding not only in her course but also as photographers in everyday life. She is always there for us and willing to critique our work when asked and answer in detail any business question we may have. Her knowledge and passion is incredible and I am honored to have taken her class. It is well worth your time and money to dive into her course.

Processes Processes Processes ... Cat has taught us that our processes and make or break us. SHE IS SO RIGHT.
Don't let important processes get put at the bottom of the list. And be proud of yourself, but never get too smug! Cat Ford-Coates - thank you so much for the last 2 months. Here I thought all I needed was a 1-hour call with you .... I am so grateful I didn't go down that route!

The truth about owning a portrait business
When you start your business you dream of things like having control over your own schedule, and shooting amazing clients in a beautiful space!
What no one tells you is that it can be isolating and lonely, that you have to master marketing and sales strategies, that you have to measure things like return on investment and opportunity cost. You signed up for making art and to have the freedom that comes with owning your own business and now you're realizing that your business owns you. That isn't a business, love. That's a job.
