No matter how hard we try, there is not enough time in the day to research and find the educational content you need, do the legwork to make sure it benefits you where you’re at in business, and then—most importantly—find out if it’s a worthwhile investment that’ll give you a return on your money.
(Which, let’s be honest, can sometimes be a pretty penny.)
Not to mention the idea of going at it alone & actually completing the course... which is why there is a backlog of forgotten & unread courses sitting on your hard drive.
So, understandably, photographers are hesitant to invest in their business and themselves—

Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a program designed to fit with your schedule of life & work? Allowing you to be surrounded by others at the same point in their business, aching to connect with you, support you, & just have a conversation. On top of a place you can turn to when you get well ... stuck?

Education should not be a solitary endeavor. Remember, there are no dumb questions. But is it really a question if there is no one to ask it to??
The biggest thing next to education in advancing your business is accountability and support. Both of which you unfortunately can’t give to yourself.
Education is not a one size fits all.
& you shouldn’t feel like you are purging your bank account or putting financial stress on yourself to get this. We know first hand high ticket masterminds have their place & purpose, but not everyone is at that point yet (which is okay). But that doesn’t mean not everyone is ready for the benefits of that type of learning environment.
A 6 month long mini mastermind with top educators in our industry teaching you through masterclasses & lives.
Including a private Fb Group consisting of challenges, weekly “coffee chats”, support, community, and more.
A digital library of education allowing you to soak up hours and hours of content from top educators in our industry through additional masterclasses, issues of our magazine, and other educational opportunities and resources.
A new take on education giving you the support, accountability, & community you want while you are growing/learning without breaking the bank.
The Lumiè Society is a 6 month long mini mastermind that includes a bundle of education & support to help you achieve your business goals. See everything that is included below.
Each month a new 30 - 60 minute long masterclasses will be added to your account taught by top educators & artists in our industry. You know, the ones who are out there building their dreams business & thriving!! Those are the ones you want to learn from!! You can also instantly dive into 15 additional masterclasses from past teachers and soak up hours of additional content. Currently we have some darn good watches just waiting for you. (See the list of those below).
NUMBER ONE
The icing on top of your cake. The biggest thing missing from online courses is the connection & support. So we wanted to change this. Each month we will have a live on our private FB page with our teacher who wants to connect with you - face to face - and share what they know best, answer questions, & offer guidance. They will also be around the whole month to pop in and answer any additional questions.
NUMBER TWO
This is like the sprinkles on the icing on top of your cake!! This groups is a private space/community for those who are part of The Lumiè Society. Here we will host our lives each month, our weekly "Coffee Chat", post challenges, encourage others to ask questions, offer support, celebrate and cry wth you, and so much more. It's the space we feel is missing from online courses & we want to put the connection back into our industries education.
NUMBER THREE
The biggest bonus about being a lumiè, in our opinion, is that you have access so all our back education. All the previous masterclasses, all the previous issues of our magazine, & all the previous resources & guides. It's like your own personal online library! That gets new material added each and every month! You can see the full list of this below.
NUMBER FOUR
Our 60 page magazine has been educating & inspiring the community for more than 7 years! Something we are darn proud of. Each issue dives into 6 educational and inspirational articles including our "Ask Belle Lumière" series. Our magazine is how we got started sharing education with this community and after seven years photographers still love the fact that they get to learn a little bit about a lot of different things each quarter.
NUMBER FIVE
Our second absolute favorite bonus of being a Lumiè is you get to enter up to 5 images to our cover contest, and here is a secret ... Only Lumiè's get to enter. That is right. We want to fully support our community and know how having your image on the cover of a magazine means. So we want to make sure each of our issues shines with one of our Lumiè's images each quarter.

" What a stroke of genius The Lumiè Society is! Not only is each bundle filled with beautifully curated yet educational articles but I adore the feeling of community especially being based in a more rural area of South Africa … I get to read through and soak up the content in my own time right here at home or on the go if I need to. This community had opened up so many new possibilities of what my life as a photographer and a creative can be! "

" It's not often that I invest in education for myself or for my business, but when I saw Belle Lumiere was creating an educational monthly subscription, I jumped on the chance. The Lumie Society is filled with concrete advice, actionable steps (no fluff here!) and tons of inspiration. Whatever way you learn, there is absolutely something here for you to expand your industry knowledge. So happy with my decision to invest in this (and did I mention how insanely affordable it is?). "

" Joining the Lumiè society has given me so many wonderful opportunities for education to hone my craft and be a better storyteller and business owner. The monthly bundles are full of educational materials plus the master class series alone is worth the monthly subscription. They are in video format which I love and they have been incredibly informative and to the point. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year brings! "
Let's Break Down Everything As If It Was Offered A La Carte
A single Education guide can range anywhere from $45 for a mini guide all the way up to $1k+ depending on the content. But unlike Masterminds ... this is a go-at-it yourself educational route.
NUMBER TWO
Included with each membership is a library of education including 15 masterclasses, 15 issues of our magazine, and 15 educational guides. This is very hard to put a value on but a la carte all this education would cost you over $2,000
NUMBER FOUR
Online Masterminds can range anywhere from $5,000 - $30,000+ in price depending on the teacher, location, and length.
NUMBER ONE
We believe this is invaluable ... & first hand know how much time it takes to find the education you need. Not to mention soaking it up.
NUMBER THREE
We are not going to charge you $7,000! At Belle Lumière our main goal is to make affordable education for everyone in the industry. And just like our Creative Collaboration that has gotten thousands of dollars of education into thousands of photographers hands ... The Lumiè Society was created to do the same ... but on a whole new level.

This seems WAY too good to be true!
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 was supportive, educational, & attainable for any creative. I came up short, so I decided to create it!
When I’m not curating up photography education you can find at the helm of Belle Lumiere Magazine.
I live in Utah with my husband, two toddlers and our german shepherd pup Oona.
