The Golden Reverie
Mentorships
If you’ve been craving guidance that feels less like a classroom and more like a warm breeze of inspiration, welcome. My mentorships are designed for photographers who love the candid, the nostalgic, the imperfect, and the authenitcally human. If you’re the kind of artist who chases in-between moments, soft blurs, and the feeling of a memory more than the technical rules - you’re home.
These mentorships are built on my signature Ecosystem Method: a gentle, holistic approach to growing your photography business with intention, identity, and heart. Together, we plant the roots of your brand, nurture the life that makes your work feel uniquely you, and create the kind of long-term growth that feels organic, sustainable, and soul-aligned. Whether you're in Michigan or miles away, you’ll find a mentorship experience that feels like stepping into your next creative era, and actually fits you.
Hi, I’m Kendall — the heart, eyes, and slightly-chaotic creative brain behind Kendall Jewel Photography. I’m a Michigan-based wedding and couples photographer who believes in the magic of candid moments, the beauty of imperfection, and the way a single image can feel like a memory you’ve already lived.
I’ve spent years crafting a style that feels soft, nostalgic, documentary-driven, and a little bit cinematic - the kind of imagery that feels like it was pulled from a dream or the last page of a love-worn diary. But before the aesthetics and the presets and the business growth, I was just like you: an artist trying to figure out what my voice sounded like, where I fit, and how to build something that felt true to who I am.
That’s why I mentor the way I do.
I’m not here to teach you how to mimic my work- I’m here to help you discover your storytelling language. Your ecosystem. Your rhythm. Your emotions. The moments you’re drawn to without even realizing it.
Because your business is more than your portfolio.
It’s a living, breathing world- and you deserve a guide who helps you grow it with intention, honesty, and heart.
When we work together, you get the full version of me:
the creative, the strategist, the chaos-best-friend energy, the business brain, the artist who overthinks and overshoots, and the mentor who deeply cares about helping you feel confident, aligned, and capable.
If you’re ready to step into your next era- the one where you trust your instincts, embrace the imperfect, and build a brand that feels like home — I’m here with open arms and a desire to see you succeed.
Photography isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about creating a living, breathing world around your art. Inside my Ecosystem Method, we explore three core elements:
1) Planting the Roots
Defining your brand identity, clarifying your mission, and giving yourself permission to confidently grow in the direction that feels aligned - not trendy.
2) The Life
Breathing personality, story, nostalgia, and honesty into your business so clients connect with you not just as a photographer… but as a human.
3) The Maintenance
Learning how to nourish your business through sustainable SEO, seasonal marketing, warm engagement, and showing up authentically online, the same way you’d care for a thriving plant that grows with you.
This is the deeper layer of your photography journey, the one that makes your art unmistakably your own.
I am currently accepting more mentorship clients. Say hew now!

Who This Mentorship Is For:
Ready to grow your photography business?
It Works, and Here's Why:
Because creative growth isn’t magic. it’s intention.
My mentorships aren’t built on quick fixes, trends, or “copy and paste” formulas. They work because they honor you- your story, your strengths, your voice, and the way you naturally see the world. Instead of forcing you into someone else’s box, we cultivate the ecosystem of your photography life from the inside out.

Already included in the visionary package for good reason, this is one of the most beneficial services I offer. Knowing you want to start is one thing, but knowing where to start is another. This will include a detailed look through your website and instagram, and a spreadsheet of any and all red flags, and how to fix them.
For Michigan photographers, this one is a huge game-changer. This is a PDF guide of all the local Facebook groups I posted in -and what days of the week I posted- that got me my big break (and first 6-figure-year!)
Making sure your packages and pricing are enticing and realistic for your dream clients, while also fairly compensating yourself is key to a sustainable business. With this, I will take a look at all your business expenses, your portfolio, and provide you a detailed spreadsheet of what you should be charging and why.
This is a detailed guide on how to create your brand identity , and all the technical
(and artistic) ways to be seen by your dream clients. It also includes workshop activities to get you emotionally invested in your brand, while practicing strategic, real-life habits that create profit and confidence between your dream client and you.
A guide of all my go-to poses, and lessons on how to trust the imperfect and in between, and feel confident in poses that lack structure- but flourish with feeling
