PBE ACADEMY
build a photography business
THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS
Not another hustle.  A business that works for you.
ON YOUR TERMS
Imagine a photography business where you...
Only shoot a few times a month — and don't feel burnt out
Know your offers, pricing, and exactly who you're here to serve
Have simple systems running in the background so you can breathe
Feel confident putting yourself (and your work) out into the world
Not quite there yet? You're not the only one.

Most of the photographers I work with didn't believe it was possible either — until they had the right support.

ON YOUR TERMS
Imagine if your business let you...
Shoot just a few times a month - without burnout
Know your offers, pricing, and who you're here to serve
Have systems quietly running so you can breathe again
Put yourself (and your work) out there with confidence
Most photographers I worl with didn't think this was possible either - until they had the right support
You don't need another course sitting in your inbox, making you feel guilty. What you need is real strategy, structure, and a Mentor who actually knows you.
Not more "DIY and hope for the best."
Not another PDF you'll forget to open.
Not some cookie-cutter template that looks like everyone else
 

Inside Academy, you're not left wondering "Am I doing this right?"— because you'll always have someone (me 👋) to ask.

You don't need another course collecting dust.
What you need is strategy, structure, and mentor who actually knows you - so you're not left wondering "Am I doing this right?"
NOT SURE IF THIS IS FOR YOU?
This is for photographers who...
Are incredible at what they do, but feel stuck in a swirl of "what now?"
Are tired of the Instagram hustle, the algorithms, and the pressure to be a marketing machine
Have bought courses, tried templates, downloaded freebies—and still feel like they're guessing
Want a business that feels aligned, intentional, and doable
If you've ever opened Canva to start a post and ended up reorganising your pantry instead... I see you.

Let's shift out of the spiral and into clarity.

What Makes Academy Different?
Most programs give you a few videos, a PDF, and a Facebook group.
 
You log in once, then feel guilty forever. Not here.
 
Inside Academy, you'll get:
 
* Personalised coaching with me (Paula) – yes, actual human support
 
* Your systems built for you – funnels, emails, workflows, the works
 
* Weekly calls + gentle nudges – because follow-through is where the magic happens
 
* A community that gets it – no comparison, just encouragement
 
It's built for photographers who know their stuff—but want to run their business with more ease, confidence, and flow.
Academy isn't like the others

How Much Is It?
The Academy is a high-touch, done-with-you program designed to give you clarity, confidence, and the systems to back it up.
 
Depending on your needs, investment is between US$1497–$1997. That includes coaching, live workshops, and (if you choose Academy+) done-for-you systems built for you.
 
Most photographers recoup their investment within their first few shoots — and more importantly, they finally feel like their business is working for them again.
The investment is: US $1497 - $1997
High-touching coaching, live workshops, and done-for-you systems (if you choose Academy+).
 
Most photographers make their investment back within a few shoots - but the real value?  A business that finally feels doable.
"Well worth the investment. Paula's positive energy, skills and knowledge will make a huge difference to your business which will have a flow on effect to your personal life.
If you work in Personal Branding Photography and want to up-level (or looking to switch to personal branding) this is definitely for you."

LEARN WITH
SOMEONE
WHO ACTUALLY
SHOWS UP for you
Not a faceless course. Not another forgotten login.

Real conversations. Real strategy. Real support.

If you're still reading, chances are this hit a nerve. Let's get on a call and talk about where you're at, what's possible, and whether Academy feels like home for you.

Not sure how much longer you can keep pushing like this?
This might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

 

If you're:
Wavering between burning it all down or giving it one more go

Great at photography but exhausted from trying to wear all the hats

Craving structure, strategy, and someone to just tell you what works (and why it works)

Then let's talk.

 WE'LL MAP OUT WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT'S POSSIBLE AND WHETHER ACADEMY IS THE RIGHT NEXT STEP

→ This is a small group intake.
→ Only a few invites are extended per round.
→ And yes, you'll be speaking to me - not someone in a call centre with a script.

 
Still Unsure?
That's okay. You're thoughtful. You care about doing things right.
 
You want to be sure this is the right time, and the right fit.

If you're feeling the pull but have questions, book some time to chat with me.
 
We'll talk it through. No pressure, no pushiness.
 
You've got a lot of talent. You don't need to do this alone.
 
Still unsure?
That's ok.  You care about doing things right.  You don't need all the answers yet - just a conversation.

And I've done loads of photography educational programs, where
you buy the courses and you do them and nothing works.
