“It's honestly changed my life!”
I started as a newbie photographer who had no idea how to use a camera. I slowly started to learn and only shot with natural light. When I needed to learn how to use studio lights, the Portrait System was there to show me different ways to use it. When I was charging $50 for a session with digital files, the Portrait System was there with pricing and packages so I could start charging professional prices. When I didn't think anyone in my area would book at those prices, the Portrait System was there to show me how to reach my target audience and sell my work. When I started earning more than my day job, I transitioned to a full time photographer and the Portrait System continues to be there to help me build my business beyond what I could have ever imagined! From a hobby to a 6 figure income, plus a means to employ my team and family... the Portrait System will be with me every step of the way. I can't thank Sue and her team enough for giving us the tools to build a life of our dreams! Is it worth the investment? As a woman in her 50s who changed careers in her 40s, it's worth every single penny for the security knowing I'll be able to retire very comfortably some day.

Saray's Story:
"It's absolutely worth the investment!"
In 2015 I was still a high school teacher. I didn’t go to school for photography. So, everything I know about the craft I learned thanks to Sue: posing, light, styling, retouching, marketing, and selling. On top of that I learned to value myself and the service I offered! I’m now one of 9 Fellow Portrait Masters in the world. And thanks to all the business and self value talks, I have 10x my teacher salary in 5 years.
Not only do you get access to all the content but also access to a community of people from around the world who are doing the work daily plus guidance from people who have been successful putting this blueprint to work.
Your job is to watch, take notes, and take action daily of course! And when you do, you see results!! It’s a proven blueprint.

from LEON
"I wouldn’t anywhere close to where I am today without the Portrait System! I’ve watched the videos so much that I can recite like 70% of them. However, I still find that there is value in going back in and reviewing what I think I already know. If you are serious about creating a sustainable photography business or even if you want to fuel your creativity, this platform
is for you!"
