EDEN STRADER
and Creative Entrepreneurs.
Round’ here, we help creatives build intuitive and soul-based brands, market using data-driven strategies, create goal-driven and precise launch plans, build clear, systematic workflows for themselves and their clients, and propel their businesses forward with actionable steps alongside transformational alignment.
The TLDR (for my skimmers): Here at Eden Strader, I believe you can transform your passion into a thriving online business without sacrificing your sanity or your weekends.
I'm Eden, a photographer, coach, and a massive advocate for quitting your corporate job and going all in on your entrepreneurial dreams. I started as a destination wedding photographer turned business coach who now leads other creative entrepreneurs in building a life filled with artistic growth, wealth, and freedom.
I have grown a seven-figure business by 28 and helped hundreds of entrepreneurs grow, scale, and dominate in their industries.
If you're a creative who wants to turn business chaos into cash and alignment, with strategy, sustainability, and soul, you're in the right place.

WHERE SOUL MEETS STRATEGY
AROUND HERE, WE SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS THAN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL FULFILLMENT
HERE'S WHAT BUSINESS COACHES FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS (THAT'S ME) REALLY WANT YOU TO KNOW...
As your go-to business coach for photographers, I have one clear focus. No more "surviving." It's time to create a new path for sustainable success and an intentional life, and we are claiming our weekends back in the meantime.
You only get one life and should enjoy it to the fullest, without the struggle and stress. In other words, Your business should work for you, not the other way around. We want you to know that you do have the power to build a fulfilling business and a life you are head over heels in love with, and we will help you do it.
We also want you to know that a perfect business blends soul and strategy. That's why we want to identify what feels fun and fulfilling to our clients before diving into the data so we can help you create a business that aligns fully with what lights you up.
We also really want you to know that you can take your business from side gig to CEO with strategies that will blend your intuition with techniques and systems proven to bring in more money while taking less time.
Oh, and once we have those systems in place? We will help you build batching techniques to map out the rest of the year so you can take the guesswork out of your business and spend more time doing what you love (insert farmers markets, weekend getaways, and dance parties here).
WE CHOOSE DISCOMFORT OVER MEDIOCRITY, ALWAYS. WE PRIORITIZE THE PATH TOWARD HAPPINESS, EVEN IF IT'S LESS TRAVELED. WE PUSH PAST DISCOMFORT TO BETTER OUR SKILLS, MOTIVATION, MINDSET, PORTFOLIOS, SYSTEMS, AND ALIGNMENT.
WE PRIORITIZE EMPOWERMENT. WE HOLD SPACE FOR BEING OURSELVES. WE CELEBRATE EVERYONE. WE'RE ENDING THE SCARCITY MINDSET. WE BELIEVE YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT A BEAUTIFUL BUSINESS SUPPORTS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. WE KNOW YOU DESERVE TO BE EMPOWERED AND SEEN IN ALL OF YOUR GLORY - NOT JUST AS A BUSINESS OWNER BUT AS A HUMAN BEING, TOO. WE CAN'T WAIT TO HELP YOU GET THERE.

"I FOUND YOU ON MY EXPLORE PAGE. I BINGED EVERY EPISODE OF THAT’S MY PERSONAL BUSINESS OVER 3 DAYS AND MOST I’VE LISTENED TO MULTIPLE TIMES.
I WAS JUST WALKING AROUND MY HOUSE SMILING ALL DAY LONG. SINCE THEN I’VE BOUGHT THE PINTEREST COURSE, CALLING ALL BRANDS, THE HARSH LIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT COURSE (AND QUIT MY OTHER JOB TO GO FULL TIME). IT HONESTLY FEELS LIKE YOU GAVE ME THE KEYS TO A NEW LIFE....
"eden should just have my business card on file because every single time this woman drops a new course or resource, I buy it! I started with calling all brands, and then had to also purchase systems, strategy, and soul. there is so much info and so many voices talking about what you need to do and all that stuff, but eden said it in such a way that has actually clicked for me in a way it never has. i'm still going back to this course over and over again because i learn something new each time. i'll should it from the rooftops.. eden freaking strader is a genius and knows what she's talking about!"
...YOU HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY MINDSET IN ALL ASPECTS OF MY LIFE AND BUSINESS. ALL OF MY FEELINGS, DREAMS AND FEARS FEEL SO VALIDATED WHEN I’M IN YOUR LITTLE CORNER OF SPOTIFY. BECAUSE OF YOU, I AM MOTIVATED TO WORK HARD BUT ALSO MOTIVATED TO TAKE TIME OFF FOR ALL THE THINGS I LOVE."
"i am 100x grateful for you! You've spoken to my little business soul in ways no one else has been able to. and if just one person can experience the experience i've had with you, i just know that not only will it make their business better, but their life (too)"
"literally don't know where i'd be without you, i'm just endlessly grateful for you eden"
IT SHOULD BE EMPOWERING. IT SHOULD BE ACTIONABLE.
IT SHOULD BE A MIX OF DATA, STRATEGY, AND HARD WORK.
We get it - there are a lot of coaches in the market, so why should you pick us? For starters, we show up for you at the deepest level. We don't just package up a pretty program in a bow and call it done. Instead, we offer personalized coaching, tailored courses, and a community that genuinely cares about your success.
And you should also know that we walk the talk. We are not just another online resource with outdated and oversaturated coaching and education. We have a proven track record for success because we have walked in the same Doc Martins as you.
As the go-to strategic business coach for photographers and other creative entrepreneurs, we're going to show up for you. So, the only question left to ask yourself is, are you ready to show up for yourself? (I hope it's a yes).
And as an added reason to choose us, we are a queer-affirming (and owned), BIPOC-inclusive, safe, and loving space. Nothing less than a celebration for everyone will be tolerated in our online sphere. Hatred and bigotry are the only things not welcome here.
Together, I hope we can create a beautiful world—both in real life and virtually—where all humans thrive, are loved, and are fulfilled personally and financially.

What's the ROI of hiring a business coach for photographers?
This is a good one, and I would explain it like this: every mistake you avoid, every strategy you implement, and every client you gain is a direct return on your investment. If you take what we teach you and implement it, you will have success.
How quickly can I expect results?
Look, we won't make unrealistic get-rich-quick schemes around here. While wanting instant results is tempting, remember that building a sustainable business takes time. But we can tell you that when you show up and do the work, you'll start seeing small wins immediately—whether in your workflow, client interactions, or overall mindset. It's a marathon, not a race bb.
STILL GOT QUESTIONS?
You have a list of questions, and as your favorite (fingers crossed) business coach for photographers, I have answers. So, let's tackle them all together.
