Build a Photography Business that Supports Your Creativity— and Your Life.
I help photographers refine their voice, price their work with confidence, and build a creative business that supports the life they want without burnout. This is hands on mentorship designed to help you grow both creatively and professionally. Mentorship is limited each quarter to keep the program personal and focused.
Who is this For
This mentorship is designed for photographers who are ready to take their work seriously and build something sustainable. You might be: • A photographer stuck in the $200–$500 shoot cycle • Someone with strong work but no clear pricing structure • A creative who wants higher-paying clients and better opportunities • A photographer ready to turn their passion into real income If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
What makes this Different
Most photography programs focus on gear, editing, or social media hacks. At Ninth Street Studio, we go deeper. I combine my experience as a NYC fashion and film photographer with a background in business strategy to help you create strong work and build a career or sustainable income around it. Before photography, I spent 15 plus years in tech building partnerships, sales systems, and revenue strategies. Now, I use that to help photographers price their work, structure their offers, and grow something that actually supports their life. This is not a passive course. It is mentorship. You and I working side by side, one artist to another, building a creative practice that lasts.
What Photographers walk away with
By the end of this mentorship, you will have: • Clear pricing that reflects the value of your work • 1–3 structured offers designed to consistently book clients • A refined portfolio aligned with your creative direction • Systems for attracting better clients without constant hustle Most photographers recover the investment in the program 3x over through increased booking revenue before the four months are complete. This isn’t about chasing trends or hacks. It’s about building a photography business designed to support both your creativity and your lifestyle without burnout or constant hustle.

I had the opportunity to be part of Jason’s mentorship program, and I've learned so much from it. I had the opportunity to learn about the business side of photography, which I’ve always struggled with, and it really changed the game for me. I’ve had more people coming into my business, and I’ve had more confidence in how I approach and work with my customers, and it’s helped ease my anxiety. In addition to that, I’ve had the opportunity to learn film photography and how to work with a medium format camera, and am interested in possibly adding it to my business. If you are a photographer and you want to take your business to the next level, not just creatively but professionally, then you want to work with Jason.

Before working with Jason, I was just starting photography more professionally and had never had a paid client. I had little to no knowledge about taking photography serious as a business until I met with Jason. He taught me many helpful techniques and gave such good resources for building up myself, my confidence and my journey of becoming a full time photographer. I got my first paid gig while working with him and grew to take on my first $1200 client.
Jason believed in me and my work before I fully believed in myself. With some simple structure, guidance, and support, everything began to shift. Now I have had multiple clients and know how to operate professionally in this creative and competitive world, something I never thought I’d be able to do.
More than the numbers, he helped me build the confidence to charge my value and trust that my work is worth it. I’d recommend Jason to anyone who needs clarity, confidence, and structure to grow in a sustainable way. He’s very kind hearted and always around to help with questions! Such a great me

Working with Jason helped me refine both my business and how I show up within it. I already knew my work had value, but he helped me structure my pricing and offers in a way that supports that level, while also creating more clarity in my overall direction.
What shifted most was my level of intention with my clients, my time, and the work I choose to take on. I feel more grounded, more confident, and more aligned in my approach. This has translated into better clients, stronger bookings, and work that feels fully representative of where I’m going. The guidance was so instrumental and I highly recommend Jason, his community as early as you can in building your business.
