A Note From Ellie

You don't need more hustle. You need a foundation.

The Pricing Principle

Your pricing should start with your skill level, then account for your actual session costs.

Studio time, mileage, gear, and your monthly operating expenses, divided across your sessions. That's the number that tells you whether you're building a business or a very expensive hobby.

The Program

The whole business, not just the camera.

Bokehbility is a self-paced course for portrait photographers that covers camera settings, business foundations, financial systems, and office systems. Four modules. Thirty-one lessons. This program is meant to teach photographers how to fit business into their life.

01

Camera Foundation

Manual mode, lighting, gear, and your editing workflow. Show up to every session prepared instead of hoping for the best.

02

Business Foundation

Legal setup, business banking, insurance, and licensing. All of the stuff nobody taught you but is important to know.

03

Bookkeeping

QuickBooks Online, Relay, and Profit First. A system that tells you exactly where your money is going and how to pay yourself.

04

Office Management

Pricing, contracts, booking links, automations. Client experiences that look professional from the first inquiry to delivering the gallery.

      A Bit About Me

      Hi, I'm Ellie.

      I help portrait photographers set up bookkeeping, business systems, and camera settings so they can run a profitable photography business with confidence and financial freedom.

      I've been a portrait photographer for over a decade and a bookkeeper for six years, which means I understand your business from both sides of the equation. I know what it takes to get the shot and what it takes to keep the books clean, price your sessions profitably, and build systems that actually hold up when you're busy.

      Bokehbility is brought to you by Photos by Ell, my portrait photography business based in Utah.
