Belle Lumière is an educational platform for photographers who are wanting to build a business & livelihood with the love they have for their craft. 

Founded in 2013, as a personal project, I wanted to share everything I was learning & doing in hopes to help someone else with their journey. From there it quickly turned into a community of photographers wanting to learn, teach, inspire, & grow together.  In 2014 I fully jumped in and hosted our very first workshop at the lovely Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard in Charleston, NC (pictured)

After getting a taste of teaching, being part of this amazing community, & curating education ... well you can say the rest is history.
