Welcome!
I am so glad you are here.
Ready to prosper? I am so pumped for you.
You are probably here because you feel like something is missing from your business. It might be that extra POP in your images, not sure how to get that storytelling imagery & have clients who are relaxed in front of your camera. Maybe you freeze up during your sessions and do not know what to do next or feel stumped on how to provide a client experience to keep clients coming back year after year.
Maybe you are struggling with finding your ideal clients or marketing yourself.... Lets not even get started with social media... Sound familiar? IVE BEEN THERE! But I didn't stay there, and I don't want you to either. I created this online course last year and called it an "editing mentorship" because that is how it started. My love for teaching made it snowball into a Photography Mentorship where we cover-
Emotive imagery, lighting, client experience, camera settings, editing, business and so much more.
My goal is not for you to take this mentorship and edit like me. No I want so much more for you than that. My goal is for you to FLOURISH in your business. To book your ideal clients, to feel comfortable at shoots, to edit like YOU but with the skills and confidence you were previously lacking. To know how to run a successful business from head to toe. To tell your clients' story with ease. To Prosper.
It is so awesome to meet you!
I am Amanda
Welcome to the Prosper Course Page! I am thrilled you are here to check it out. My name is Amanda & I am the face behind White Pine Photography and The Prosper Course. Im a busy bee mom to 5 beautiful children and I am happily married to my best friend, John. We live in Missouri but we travel the US every year doing what we love - hiking and taking pictures! *PRAISE HANDS*
Just finding joy and positivity in each and every day and spreading kindness everywhere I go- I love to try to turn someones day around.
A few fun facts about me-
I love Diet Coke, a little too much probably...
I laugh really loud- usually at my own jokes
I have 4 sons and one daughter and she's totally not spoiled at all.
I use to think the lyrics to "done dirt cheap" was "thunder jeep"
I never take myself too seriously- but am somehow also type A its a weird combination
I make a lot of sound effects as I edit and didn't realize that until I started teaching this course. If that doesn't sell you on it- nothing will
Easy to follow videos & tutorials- lets PROSPER together, babe.
So many amazing Behind the Scenes videos, Tutorials and Live Q&A's
So how does it work?
I am a busy mama and business owner so I know how hard it is to find time for one more thing... adding to our "to do list" feels all too frequent. Because of this it was so important to me to make sure my course was easy to follow and make time for. If your only free time is after the kids go to bed then do not fret, you are in the right place. This is set up to be a go at your own pace, when you can/ as fast or slow as you want course. No deadlines - you have access to the course always after sign up. No rush, babe. Inside the course are tabs to keep you organized and you can bounce between them and watch and re-watch at your leisure in any order you desire.
The coolest part of this mentorship is the continued education. I post new materials weekly/monthly. Actually I take that back- the coolest part about this mentorship is the community. After you sign-up- you can join the private fb group where everyone can chat, ask Qs, get cc on images and join me for LIVE Q&A's. The live Q&As are topic based... who choses the topics? YOU DO! This FB group is one of the most active, friendly and supportive I have ever seen out there.You do not want to miss out. I also add education, access to upgrades and early access to store items in the group.
Oh I almost forgot... as a mentee you never pay full price for a store front item again. You get 40% off items that are not already in the course for free. Want to know what all you get- read the next tab for the juicy deets.

Reviews
I am so impressed by the wealth of knowledge jam-packed into this mentorship. I thought about doing Amanda's mentorship for over 2 years before I finally took the plunge. But after following along for years seeing her kind heart, and seeing countless mentees of hers having dreamy skin tones that I have always struggled with, I was determined to try it out just for that! Within 5 min of the first video, I knew I had made the right choice. In that very first video I watched, I learned how to fix the problem with skin tones, learned more than I ever have in my 5 years of photography about lightroom, and so many amazing other tips and tricks to uplevel my editing. And there are so many videos just like that! I love that she is constantly adding more and more into it, as well as helpful info in her mentee Facebook group to help along the way. It's been one of the best mentorships I've taken so far!
