No matter how hard you try to avoid it, you need to continue educating yourself in the photography industry.
Marketing, Communication, Legality, Client relations, Pricing, (just to name a few) are always changing. And it's a lot to keep up with.
On top of researching and finding the educational content you need, and then—most importantly—finding out if it’s a worthwhile investment that’ll give you a return on your money. Then there is the real task of going at it alone & actually completing the courses...
So, understandably, staying on top of education is something most photographers - put on the back burner and try to not think about.
A monthly membership with top educators in our industry teaching you face-to-face on live calls with open Q&A's.
A bi-monthly private newsletters consisting of more education, freebies, and more.
Open Q&A sessions so you can ask a real person those dying questions ... and not drag your feet wondering which of your dozens of questions should you email into the course creator?
A simple new take on education giving you the knowledge & support you want without breaking the bank.
The One That Gives You The Most Return For Your Money And Is A Middle Ground Between DIY courses & Multi-Thousand Dollar Masterminds.
BONUS monthly masterclass from our archive of over a decade of classes for our Beta 2.0 round!

Let's be honest. You listen to someone teach & it takes a few days for all that wonderful education to sink in, & for you to process everything you've learned. Then you have questions! We totally expect that. So ask away! After each live we will have a form where you can submit a question. Then our educator will come back and answer those questions for everyone on a live Q&A's!!! I mean that's the main reason you're joining correct? Unless otherwise noted Live Q&A's are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month.
Did you think we would leave you hanging in between each months classes?? Well surely not. In rhythm with each months theme we will be sending out bi-monthly newsletters with challenges, freebies, additional education, and more. Our whole goal is to create intractable learning & this is just a fun extension of this.

We love our members and not only do we want them to thrive, we also want our members to shine. So a sweet perk of being a 'Lumiè" is you get an exclusive chance to be on the cover of our magazine. As we put together future issues, we send out an email with a link to submit up to 15 images for our cover. Something only our members are allowed entering.
A nice little bonus is that we have been offering education for over a decade. Which means we have an amazing back catalog of masterclasses, guides, articles, and more. For the first year of The Lumiè Society we will be dropping a BONUS masterclass each month! That's 12 additional masterclasses on top of our 12 lives! Each new masterclass will be added to your account the first Tuesday of the month.

After publishing more than 55 educational magazine issues, hosting over 15 sold out workshops and an online summit, I’ve worked with hundreds of educators & thousands of students—not to mention 8-years running my own 6-figure portrait business—I know what the modern photographer searches for to support their business and help them make their dreams a reality.
For THE LUMIÈ SOCIETY, I searched the internet far and wide to find something that would supportive, be educational, & attainable for any creative. But, I came up short, so I decided to create it!
Great question!! Each month we will have a live class with an amazing educator. These classes will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10AM Mountain Time, unless otherwise noted. Each class will be held on zoom! Live Q&A are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 10AM Mountain time, unless otherwise noted. You will also have an account portal where you can access each recording after the live as well as additional education, bonuses, forms, etc.

What if I can't make the lives?
We do our very best to get to all the questions! During each live class we will have about an hour to an hour and a half at the end of each class for Q&A. These will be answered as hands are raised. If your question is not answered there don't worry. A form will be sent out and emailed where you can submit your question, There will be a deadline to submit your questions on the form so we can organize and get to all of them. From this form the teacher will go over the questions in the order they are received. This live will be up to an hour and a half. If there are any additional questions that were not answered the educator will either email the answer to you, do another live, or do a recording with all the additional answers!
