Magic4 Mentoring

Magic4 Mentoring isn’t your polite, play-it-safe workshop. It’s a full-throttle creative shake-up for family photographers who are done second-guessing and ready to make work that actually feels. What you get - 7-hour, face-to-face day in a dreamy spot with a cosy crew of just four, max (so there’s nowhere to hide…in the best kind of way!). I’ll feed you breakfast and real talk, then we dive straight into an epic live storytelling shoot-along where you’ll learn to capture movement, connection, and all the messy magic in between. We’ll slow it down with a personalised education session, then rip into the guts of your business (pricing, marketing, workflows, client experience, sustainable growth). No gatekeeping, nothing useless. There’s space to ask anything, unravel everything, and rebuild it your way, held inside a heart-led, hype-you-up kind of community. It’s honest, warm, a little rebellious, and designed to leave you making braver work and running a business that actually fits your life.

Testimonial

I did the most amazing mentoring day with Emma Wand, and it was truly everything I had hoped it would be… and so much more. I learnt so much, not only creatively, but also in my business and my life.

I've done a lot of photography education over the years, and Emma's mentoring has been hands down one of the best I've ever done. Emma is an open book and I felt so
comfortable asking her anything. She is so passionate about what she does, and I left feeling super inspired and genuinely believing that anything is possible for me in my business.

The sunrise shoot at the start of the day was honestly incredible. I learnt so much from watching Emma work: how she uses light, how she gently directs families with such warmth and ease, and how she captures those holiday-style, adventure-filled moments alongside the soft, emotive ones. It really feels like an entirely new way of shooting has opened up for me.

The whole mentoring experience was perfection. I already know this day will have a long-lasting impact on both my work and my life. Emma, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has genuinely changed me."

From Emma

My MENTORING supports and guides you, it’s a safe space with no judgement for you to bounce off ideas and to be accountable for the goals that you set for your business growth.

It took me years and years to find my style! i have played with hundreds of presets, worked for other photographers for free to learn new skills, I’ve booked myself into courses, attended oneon-one mentoring and photography retreats, and I’m still learning and evolving today. We will all keep evolving and changing foreve

Remember, it's not always about the end goal. It's about the little bits and pieces that it takes for you to get there.

One on ones are also available, email to enquire.

"This was my 3rd time being mentored by Em and I’m always so appreciative of how open she is with her work.

No question is silly and she always puts so much thought and effort into the day. No matter where you are in your photography journey I think a day spend with Em is a no brainer. 🫶🏻

"Being mentored by Emma was such a beautiful experience."

From the moment the workshop began, her relaxed nature and warm, outgoing personality created such a welcoming environment that I felt instantly comfortable. She has a way of making learning feel natural and enjoyable, which made it so much easier to ask questions, take things in, and really absorb the experience. Em’s kindness and genuine passion for what she does shines through in every part of her mentoring. She created a space that felt encouraging, inspiring, and completely free of pressure, which allowed me to learn with confidence. I left the workshop feeling not only more knowledgeable, but also more motivated and excited in my own photography journey. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone so talented, generous, and easy to connect with. Thanks Em! xx
