A little over a year ago, I was a hobby photographer. Today, with their help, I've had multiple local and national shows and am embarking on a creative project I could have only dreamed about 6 months ago. I can't recommend them enough. - Carrie Brienholt, whatwetreasure.com
Who Can Benefit
We work best with beginning to mid-stage creative entrepreneurs who are motivated and driven to succeed, but just don’t know where to start or focus their energies. We will guide you with advice, information and specific tasks, but you must be willing to do the work to truly benefit from our coaching.
I began my business about a year and a half ago while pregnant with my daughter and had been flying by the seat of my pants. I knew I loved designing and crafting, but my vision lacked focus. In just a few one-on-one meetings, Genevieve was able to help me really think about my business, define a vision, and implement a clear and direct plan to meet my goals. The suggestions and ideas were reality based and completely tailored to my individual needs. Since working with Lightbox SF, my business has grown and I'm no longer flying by the seat of my pants! – Lisa Anderson Shaffer, Zelma Rose
If you are at the idea phase, still refining what your business will be and how to launch, we can help you build a strong brand identity and online presence that will allow you to enter the market with force.
If you’ve been in business for a short time and are feeling overwhelmed by where to put your time and energy or how best to market this business you’ve created, we can help plan a strategy that works with your lifestyle and personality to fully express your best self.
If you have big goals, but just can't seem to make any headway or find the time, we can help you plan the steps that need to happen and hold you accoutable to deadlines.
If you’ve been running your business for a year or two and just aren’t seeing the progress you’d like, we can assess the areas that need the most attention and get you on track to a sustainable, fulfilling business.
I went from having 3 clients a month to 3 clients a week with Lightbox SF's help. I would not be where I am today without their guidance. - Sarah Deragon, Portraits to the People
Sarah's Story
Sarah came to us with a dream of being a photographer full-time. She'd already hung out her shingle, had a website, and was booking a few clients a month, but she like she had no direction and couldn't envision how she would ever be able to quite her day job.
In our first couple of meetings we pushed Sarah to really think about and define what she was good at and who she wanted to work with. It came up that really didn't like the path she was on doing event and large group photography. Instead she really wanted to be working one on one with clients and familys documenting special moments in their lives or capturing how amazingly unique they were.
After seriously pondering a tough series of questions we gave her, Sarah decided to change the name of her business and do a serious rebrand. We helped her to really focus on her strengths, showcase her unique perspective and find her ideal client.
With our guidance, Sarah launched a new website, truly embraced blogging and social media, and was booking multiple clients a week within in 5 months of our first meeting.
