"I came to Eden feeling lost in my strategy! I felt like I was drowning in a sea of sameness and not really able to articulate what my true value proposition was, or what marketing avenues I should be focusing on. Working with her in a Marketing Consultation was the clarity I needed to take action and turn things around in my business and brand.

I've done a lot of education and have often felt overwhelmed with the amount of information thrown at me, but Eden made things straight forward. She dove into the analytics of my business and came prepared with a plan for me to move forward.

There was no frill or fluff, it was very to the point in a way that I've never experienced before. I left with a REAL, tangible plan that I could implement on my own. To say I was impressed, relieved, and excited would be an understatement. Thank you Eden for helping me see gaps in my business and where I have low hanging fruit I can tackle, as well as identifying bigger projects I can add to my long-term goals. You are the best! "

"Eden helped me immensely. This consultation gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to get shit done in my business marketing. I was so overwhelmed with options that I ended up basically running in place all year, but Eden helped quiet the noise and show me the very exact specific things I need to do.

I got a PLAN, tailored specifically to the needs of my business based on facts. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful it is for someone to dive into the analytics and services you offer and come up with a game plan that makes sense and feels unique.

This consultation has made me so pumped to work with Eden in the future - I’m literally structuring my yearly budget to save for her services in the future because she WORKS FOR YOU. There is so much value to her magic."

"Eden’s perspective on business is refreshing, intuitive, and inspiring. She encourages your ability to grow as both a human and an entrepreneur in a way that is at once challenging and supportive — she’s the best of both worlds.

My VIP day with her was EXACTLY what I needed to understand both the big picture and the granular next steps for growing my business. She even delivers an actual blueprint for how to move forward; the level of expertise she provides is the perfect balance of hand-holding and empowerment.

Her approach is delivered with empathy and my time with Eden always inspires me to live my best life. It’s obvious she cares deeply about serving her clients well. I will continue to invest in her coaching as my business grows; I really believe her approach is an ideal model for the modern creative business owner. "

"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"

ALSO - I WOULD ADD, I INVEST IN EDUCATION AND AM SOMETIMES SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED. IT IS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE WITH EVERY PIECE OF EDUCATION I HAVE PURCHASED FROM (EDEN) - I LEARN SO MUCH AND HAVE EVEN REWATCHED AND GONE BACK TO THEM THEY ARE SO GOOD! YOU HAVE BECOME SUCH A TRUSTED RESOURCE FOR EDUCATION FOR ME-SO KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!"

What's the ROI of hiring a business coach for photographers?

Think about it this way: every mistake you avoid, every strategy you implement, and every client you gain is a direct return on your investment. A business coach isn't an expense; it's an investment in your future success.

How quickly can I expect results?

While it's tempting to want instant results, remember that building a sustainable business takes time. However, you'll start to see small wins immediately—be it in your workflow, client interactions, or overall mindset. It's a marathon, not a race bb.

WHY? HOW?

You've got questions, and as your business coach for photographers, I've got answers. Let's tackle some common queries:

YOU READY? >

"How do I even put into words how Eden’s courses have helped me as a photographer - it’s like I gained years of valuable experience literally overnight. I have invested in all of her lighting courses (Indoor/Artificial & Harsh Light) and they have given me sooooo much confidence on wedding days & during shoots.

I understand light on a completely different level, and see things that I literally didn’t see or think about before. My work since has been so much more consistent and easier to edit because of these and I am forever grateful!”

Also - I would add, I invest in education and am sometimes slightly disappointed. It is literally the opposite with every piece of education I have purchased from you - I learn so much and have even rewatched and gone back to them they are so good! You have become such a trusted resource for education for me!! So keep doing what you are doing!"

"Finding a good business coach is so daunting but hiring Eden was one of the best decisions I've made in the last five years of my business. The amount of in depth detail, honesty, connection, and real goals we planned for my business was insane.

There was no fluff, no forced "get over it and get it done" pressure, no question of doubt in my mind that she knows her stuff! I felt so liberated, excited and calm walking into that week after our call.

If you're on the fence to hire her, spend the money. It's not even a question of if it'll help you, it's just a fact that it will. And for those perfectionists reading this, sometimes I need my hand held while making decisions, too. Knowing that Eden actually cared about how I felt at the end, offering her time to answer emails if I had any other questions made a huge difference in feeling supported moving forward. And to Eden, I can not WAIT to work with you long term as a coach. With you I believe I could move the mountains I thought unmovable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, honesty, and support! "

"As "only" a part-time couples and families photographer who hasn't done too many weddings and has only dabbled in flash, I was SO nervous going into the Artificial Light Workshop. I had never attended an in person workshop and was pretty intimidated walking in with no idea what to expect. However, I'm so, so glad I double dog dared myself to forgo my reservations and attend. Everyone was such a joy to work and learn alongside and I was able to meet both local photographers and some from around the country. The other attendees were all kind, encouraging, and respectful of each other's space, vision, and time with each of the two couples we had the opportunity to shoot.

As a host, Eden was welcoming, supportive, and willing to repeat everything she just said for us as many times as we needed it. She had clearly put so much time into making sure that everyone who attended was able to squeeze the absolute most out of the workshop as possible and didn't even judge me when she momentarily thought I call tripods "sticks", lol. From the (estimated) millions of personally curated thrifted purses, shoes, and other trinkets to use for flatlays and mock table settings, to the carefully chosen model wardrobes, to the venue itself, I was blown away. It felt like Christmas morning. Eden very obviously poured her heart and soul into this workshop and I'm so grateful she did. I left the workshop literally buzzing and stayed up ungodly late at night looking through photos from the day.

And the learning and love didn't even stop there! Eden has followed up and encouraged us to ask any follow up questions even now, weeks later. Eden, thank you for being the sun at the center of such a beautiful, welcoming photo community that you've created. You're the best!!"
