COACHING SESSIONS

with Katie Damon

"The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself -

the more you learn, the more you'll earn."

- WARREN BUFFETT

WHY A COACHING SESSION?

Deciding to invest into your skills & education as a professional photographer is a critical testament to your dedication & passion to your craft. It's the dream of photographers everywhere - to say goodbye to the 9-to-5 job and earn a living doing something you're absolutely passionate about doing. I'm a firm believer in continuing to build your knowledge and continuously learning new things - as I often say, you should never stop adding new tools to your tool belt!

​

Comparing a generic, non-equine specific tutorial on Youtube to a coaching session with an experienced professional in the industry is akin to buying a pair of generic boots from walmart instead of custom-tailored riding boots designed to fit your very unique and specific needs (I'd imagine my coaching sessions are like sliding into a pair of custom Botticellis). We'll go over the editing topics you feel you need to expand on, and I'll share my distinct techniques, tips & tricks along the way.

​

WHY KATIE DAMON?

I began learning how to use Photoshop when I was a young teenager, and I've had a passion for horses for even longer. After decades spent learning and working as a graphic designer, and eventually a professional horse photographer, I'm now what you'd call a Photoshop "guru," which gives me a unique ability to create editing techniques which have become industry-leading.
