FAQ

1. How do I enroll?

You can enroll in our signature course, Kickstart Your Photography Business™ HERE.

2. Do I have to enroll to take classes? 

You must enroll in one of our courses to learn from our expert instructors.

3. Which photography course is right for me? 

Kickstart Your Photography Business™ is a step-by-step course that you can take at your own pace. In it, you will learn how to level up your photography skills with minimal gear, launch your photography business, and market it to fill your calendar with as much work as you want without confusion about your next step.

Become a Wedding Photographer Bootcamp™ is an intensive online program for those who want to enter the wedding industry confidently. You and your photography business will undergo a total transformation from trying to serve anyone and everyone, leaving you with little time for your family, friends, and hobbies, to having the skills and a roadmap in hand to become a prestigious, in-demand wedding photographer working only as much as you desire on a schedule that works for you and your family. We will help you map your journey to the work-life balance you’ve always wanted. Enrollment for Bootcamp will open again in 2025.

4. Will I earn a certification or degree after completing a course?

No. In the United States, you do not need a certification or a degree to be a photographer. Classes are offered for your knowledge only.

5. What if I’m not interested in doing this professionally?

We plan to add a course for those interested in learning photography for personal use in 2026, but our current courses are designed for those who want to earn compensation for their skills, whether full-time or as a side gig. Kickstart Your Photography Business™ covers business strategy in addition to natural-light portrait photography. So, until we produce a class for those interested in photography for personal use, it’s also an excellent option for those individuals. We welcome people of all experience levels.

6. Will I be successful after the course?

Our LPS Alumni tell us “everything changed” from their first class. Still, not every photographer will have the opportunity to focus solely on building their photography business while enrolled—and that’s okay! You will end our time together with a roadmap in hand, regardless of where you are on your journey.

Based on wide-ranging personal lives, starting points, and learning styles, we can safely say that the average is a consistent six months of implementing the step-by-step program to build a solid client base that begins to fill your calendar for the following year.

How long it will take you to implement all you will learn at LPS successfully depends on many personal factors: job status, number of children, the number of commitments already on your plate, learning style, and knowledge base at signup are just a few factors that will affect how long it will take to move through the program successfully.

One thing has been evident over the years: Bootcamp VIP students and those who regularly utilize Office Hours Q&A with Megan Hoffer have experienced a faster track to their goals.

You’ve got this. We believe in you!

7. What is Office Hours Q&A?

Those enrolled in Kickstart Your Photography Business™ will have the opportunity to join bi-weekly small group coaching sessions with our founder, Megan Hoffer. During the sessions, she will answer any questions submitted, dive into specific goals, and provide intense coaching for each participant. Office Hours is a monthly subscription option for those who want to make faster progress than they could independently.
