Rachel Brenke and the Awesomesauce

I just had to share some things with you today!  First on the list, is someone that you need to know about...Whether you are a beginner, needing help with learning to operate your camera in manual mode, or a seasoned photographer looking for some expertise and direction in marketing and business, Rachel has something for you in the way of her fabulous workshops and 1:1 mentoring. So without further adieu, meet Rachel Brenke!

"Why Rachel?"


Rachel Brenke is a photographer, business consultant and social media marketing strategist based out of El Paso, Texas.   She currently holds an MBA (Marketing), MA Human Services and a doctoral degree in law.  Prior to becoming a business consultant she began three online apparel stores that are self-sustaining and profitable today.
She has also worked as a financial analyst for the United States military advising on federal appropriations and evaluating spending of appropriation budgets.    Rachel also has 5 online eWorkshops, and legal forms drafted specifically for photographers.
Since starting her online eWorkshops she has consulted with over a thousand photographers in all stages of business.  Last year’s mentorship program was such a success as the group bonded, progressed and resulted in photographers quitting full time positions to pursue photography full time and others opening a studio.
She is obsessed with Dunkin Donuts coffee, diet Dr Pepper and green Orbit gum.  Rachel has also been blessed to be cured from cancer, survived numerous deployments as a military spouse and achieved multiple masters and doctoral level degrees in business and law.


So don't hesitate...if you are looking to grow as a photographer or grow your photography business,  Rachel can help you! 








In addition to workshops and mentoring, Rachel has also provided another great asset to photographers-  Her legal expertise!  Rachel has created all the forms and contracts we need as photographers, from model releases, session contracts, wedding contracts and more. 

These forms are essential for every photographer's business, and Rachel's experience and degrees in business and law ensure that these contracts are solid in protecting you and your clients.

And just when you think she's done it all, she adds a Client Guide Template to her treasure trove of assets for photographers.  Check it out!  It will save you time and give you a beautiful and easy way to prepare your clients for upcoming sessions.
