This is Startup Photographer.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so before I tell you all about us let me show you! Below are links to the Photography and Videography company we've built and made tens of thousands of dollars on. This is how we know what we teach works.

About Startup Photographer
Helping aspiring photographers become confident creators and profitable professionals.
Meet Your Coaches: Logan & Sarah
We’re a husband and wife creative team who have been filming weddings since 2018 and photographing everything from families to real estate since 2022. We know what it’s like to start from zero and slowly grow into a business that supports our family—and now, we want to help you do the same.
From running shoots and managing clients to editing workflows and growing on social media, we’ve been in the trenches—and we’re here to share it all with you.
Why We Started Startup Photographer
When we started out, we didn’t have a roadmap—just a passion for storytelling and a deep curiosity for how to make it all work. Over the years, we’ve built a thriving photo and video business, working with real clients and learning from every shoot, edit, and awkward client call.
We created Startup Photographer to be the resource we wish we had. A place where beginner photographers don’t just learn how to shoot—but how to book clients, price their work, edit professionally, and build a brand that lasts.
What Makes This Different
There are plenty of courses out there with flashy gear and vague advice. We focus on real-world, repeatable systems that teach you:
How to shoot in manual mode with confidence
How to master natural light and flash
How to edit like a pro using Lightroom and Photoshop
How to attract your ideal clients
How to price your work for profit
How to grow a part-time hustle into a full-time career
We combine professional photography training, business coaching, and practical tools so you can skip the guesswork and start building something real.
