I'M EDEN STRADER
OH HI
BUSINESS COACH FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
and creative entreprenuers
YOUR HANDY DANDY SAG, ENNEAGRAM 1, WOO-WOO OBSESSED, PAVING MY OWN WAY, STRATEGY-LOVING, NYC RESIDENT..
And I know what it’s like to feel lost in the sauce (in business and in life).
Now? I’m on a mission to help you step into your power and build the business of your dreams that sustains the life of your design.
TLDR: I truly believe you have everything it takes to make it happen.
"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 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 (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!"

"EDEN.. I’VE BEEN WANTING REACH OUT FOR MONTHS AND NOW JUST FEELS LIKE THE PERFECT TIME. I HAVE BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR 2ISH YEARS NOW AND I’VE BEEN SO HUNGRY FOR GENUINE EDUCATION AND ROLE MODELS THAT I ALIGN WITH FROM THE BEGINNING BUT THEY’RE VERY HARD TO FIND WHEN YOU’RE STARTING OUT IN THE INDUSTRY.
FOR ABOUT A YEAR I WAS BUYING MY EDUCATION FROM AND LISTENING TO THE PODCASTS OF TWO WOMEN WHO I COULD NOT HAVE LESS IN COMMON WITH. OUR VALUES AND BELIEFS WERE TOTALLY OPPOSITE AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH IT WAS DRAINING ME AND BLOCKING MY GROWTH. THERE CAME A DAY WHEN I WAS EDITING WHILE LISTENING TO THEIR PODCAST AND IT JUST MADE ME SO TERRIBLE, ABOUT MYSELF, MY WORK, MY INSTAGRAM, MY LIFE IN GENERAL. I LITERALLY STOPPED EDITING, AND JUST GOT IN BED AND CRIED. I FELT SO ALONE AND TRULY WANTED TO QUIT PHOTOGRAPHY....
2 DAYS LATER, THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO ME, 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."
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."
"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! "

Welcome to the Six Figure Creative Masterclass! I'm pulling back the curtain on what it takes to scale your business to six figures so you can hit your goals in no time.
SNAG ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESOURCES
around here.. I'm TEACHING CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS TO BUILD LIVES OF ARTISTIC GROWTH, WEALTH, AND FREEDOM.
My journey’s been filled with wild failures and even wilder successes–I’ve made the mistakes on the path from a small business owner to a flourishing creative, and I’m determined to help you skip the parts that are guaranteed to dull your shine.
After the divorce that empowered me to escape a toxic situation, the world seemed spooky. The ground seemed unstable. For years, I was stuck in survival mode–my business was, too. My type A ass has always loved knowing exactly what was going to happen to me, and you can bet that divorce was never part of “the plan." I built the business I did because I had to, but here’s the best part: My business helped me take my power back. My business paved the way to a life I had only dreamed about before–a life where I hold the power.
The journey to feeling whole again is no freaking joke, but the universe is always finding ways to surprise me–with the exception of one constant: Happiness. Awe at the state of my life. No matter what’s keeping you finding your thriving moment, babes, here’s one thing I know for sure: All of this can be yours and more. Or your next Matcha is on me.
