What's So Different About THIS?
There's a lot of photography education out there.
Gretchen Leigh Photography
I have had the pleasure of being a part of Renee's INVALUABLE Elevate group for several years now, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for this incredible community. The sense of camaraderie and support among the members is truly exceptional, and Renee's presence is invaluable. She is always available to answer any question and keeps us constantly moving forward, challenging ourselves, discovering our purpose, and honing our skills to become successful and fulfilled business owners and individuals.
Renee's expertise in the photography industry is unparalleled, but her knowledge extends far beyond that. She possesses a deep understanding of the younger generations, the psychology of our target clients, social media, marketing, and the list goes on. Her breadth of knowledge is truly impressive.
And all that is fantastic on its own, but what really sets Renee apart in my opinion is the extra touch of "woo" she brings to the table. She recognizes that running a business goes beyond simply checking off tasks on a to-do list (especially ones you think you should be doing because so-and-so photographer does it that way). She encourages us to align our personal and professional lives, overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and attract the kind of business that truly resonates with us. Rather than dictating what to do and how to do it, Renee guides us skillfully in finding our own unique path to success, ensuring that it aligns with our values and stands the test of time.
Without a doubt, investing in Renee's program has transformed both my business and personal life. I will forever be grateful for the mentorship and guidance she has provided me over the years. It is difficult to put into words just how thankful I am.
If you're considering joining her program, I encourage you to take the leap. You will not regret it!

WHO the heck am I anyway?
Hey hey, I'm Renee ✌🏼
I'm a mom of three now-grown kids based out of the suburbs of LA. I met my husband (an actor, director, writer) of 23 years in a bar in 1995 and the rest is history. I've been a photographer for many moons ... I started on film if that gives you an idea of how old I am - before it was cool to shoot film, when it was our only option.
In 2007, I decided to specialize in high school senior portraits because nobody was offering anything like it here in my area. I saw a need and created a niche for myself which has generously rewarded me both financially and personally.
After creating a profitable business, I began mentoring other photographers and was an educator with Senior's Ignite for many years - that's when I found my love of coaching and decided to add to my education in that field. I had a BA in Psychology, so I dove into Life Coaching certifications with a concentration in NLP, Neuro-encoding, Brain Training, and Hypnosis.
I believe our unconscious mind holds ALL the keys. And that it can be rewired.
I floundered for a while before truly figuring out how to make real money at senior photography. That's why I am so passionate about helping you scale your business and make great money doing something you love while learning more about yourself.
You must truly know & love yourself if you desire a thriving business - it starts with YOU. I'm mostly on TikTok & Insta - come say hi!
from Elevate Members
Brittany Caryl
"I love being able to have people to bounce ideas off of. My brain is constantly coming up with ideas but sometimes it's not easy knowing where or how to start to get the process started. With the voxer group everyone contributes and gives a different perspective that you might not have thought about. I also love how Renee has a way to calm me when I'm overwhelmed. Running a small business is not easy when you're running it alone so it's nice having someone in my corner to be a cheerleader that I can do this and I really can make this as my living."
Laura Meyer
“Elevate is a wonderful program, I have been participating in this program for the last 2 years as I grow my senior portrait business and transition away from photographing weddings. The transition is a long process and I really like how being a part of this program is keeping me on track and accountable to growing and pivoting my business as questions arise I am able to ask the group or Renee for help. Excited to be a part of this again in 2023!!"
Stephanie Lowery
“Elevate is not just about upping your business - it's about elevating who you are as an individual - changing your mindset & recognizing your belief system, owning who your are and/or where you are in this journey but more importantly taking ownership for past and present choices, to stop creating excuses, so that you can gain clarity on what your purpose is, whether it be business/personal or both. With Elevate, I have become a better version of myself and not only is that reflected in my business but also in the relationships with the people I care about most - my family."
Rob Upton
"Bit of a milestone for me today; first of two sales sessions today just ended with a $2240; my first $2k+ sales total. Thanks, Renee! Elevate has made a big difference for me this year!"
Stacey Dominici
“Elevate has been the game-changer in my business that I have been needing for years. The support, coaching, and advice that I get - not only from Renee - but from all of the other members has been invaluable! I have grown leaps & bounds in the past 6 months since joining & this is one business expense that I consider crucial to my success!"
Blanca Parciak
“I believe I will be surpassing my goals; I made $25k in the last 30 days. My goal was to hae 20-25 clients & I had 31. My sales averages are close to what I wanted!"

For me- it's all about the comfort. I know everything I need to do to run a successful small creative business. Having Renee in my corner as someone who's not only doing it herself, but also there to help and assist and guide and cheer me on- is worth the money. I like having a business coach. It makes me feel like there a no limits to what my small business can achieve when I have someone who's done it and done it successfully.
Why I'm staying in Evelate- I like being a part of something and the accessibility to a coach is very helpful. Renee is always there to take our daily drama of our businesses and our lives and help break it down and turn it into pieces that we can manage. After talking to her she makes the biggest mountain that I can't climb into a small little pebble on the road that you just kick over and keep walking. It's really great having someone who actually believes that you can have everything you want not only for your business but your life.
It's good to have a team who knows the same struggles. It's great to have a coach who can get us all out of our heads and show us ways we can manage situations practically and by letting go.
I think Renee Bowen is the perfect example of a business coach. She gives you the confidence and the tools and solutions, but she expects you to dig deep and do the work. She's someone who sets an example across social media through her work and putting herself out there. Even if you're not as strong on social media as you'd like to be- having someone who gets it pushes you in the right direction. She also carries herself in a way that is admirable. There's a lot of photography education- this is more. This is deeper.
Here's a taste of what you get from me:
This is a clip from a recent mindset zoom call with my members; I was teaching about abundance, lack and scarcity. I like to start most Evolution and All Access Level calls with some kind of topic or theme OR a guest coach but we always open them up to Q&A's as well. Foundation Level will leave more time for questions but monthly content for marketing and mindset will be added to the portal for you.
Here's a snippet from a recent hot seat:
Come to the coaching calls ready to get the help you need. You can't get what you don't ASK for. Inside All Access, we have time for a few of these per call since it is limited to only 12 photographers. But I start ALL calls with some kind of TOPIC or presentation and we always leave time for questions.
ARE YOU TALKING YOURSELF OUT OF THIS?
This is about the time during your scroll that you're getting a little excited about joining and simultaneously talking yourself out of the investment. 😂 This is normal - this uncomfortable tinge of fear that arises when you are about to do something that you know will entail some work to grow and literally uplevel.
I've had that tinge. Many times in fact.
Over the years, I have invested well over 30k in coaching, mentoring and courses; and yes, 20k of that was all at once. 😮
And I have made it all back in spades, grossing $250k as a photographer consistently. On MY terms - which means no more than 50 seniors a year. I don't want to work 24/7 - and the beauty of this career is that you get to decide how YOU want it to look.
It is terrifying to invest in yourself but if you've made it this far - and you feel aligned to this, it's also too late to go back to where you were.
You are ready - you just need to push past your own fear. And I am here to tell you that if I can do this - so can you.
I can show you how.
Okay take me back to pricing!
Jenny Adams Photography
Renee has really helped me get focused on my business over the past few months that I have worked with her in Elevate. She seems to know where every individual person's limits are and pushing me without pushing too far past my limit. Five months into the year and I am already seeing more momentum in my business than I did all of last year! She also has a way of walking us through the mindset and business exercises that makes sense to me. I've worked on my why statement many times in the past, and this is the first time I feel like it actually is specific to me and my business. I can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring. Thank you for everything so far Renee! I can't wait for the next 6 months.
