Coaching & Mentoring Testimonials
“Since starting my journey with Becky, I have gained SO MUCH more than I ever expected.
I have more focus and a reflective practice which I can take forward with me into the future. I have always had buckets of motivation and a head full of dreams, but I haven’t always been clear on how I can achieve them. Becky has helped me get clear about my vision for my business and helped me map out how to get from A to B and beyond.
I have gained life tools and mini-hacks with Becky’s sessions which have impacted my day to day management and mental health in an extremely positive way. She also gave me the confidence and clarity to go into business meetings and tackle tricky negotiations. Becky has empowered me to take charge of my finances, something I have always struggled with. I no longer bury my head in the sand, but use the techniques and mini-tasks I have put in place to help support me.
Not only has Becky helped me in many practical ways, she has given me the time and space to dream big and celebrated when I’ve achieved. She is extremely intuitive and uses this to guide the sessions, making each one personal and tailored to what I need to explore that week. I look forward to our meetings every week and always leave them feeling inspired. I’m sure I’ll be touching base with her even after our bundle of sessions come to a close. Thank you Becky, I’ve loved every minute!

“I had followed Becky for a little while on Instagram and was really drawn to the warmth of her posts, and the connection that she has with her photography clients. Becky's coaching process was very natural and I felt very comfortable during our discussions. Having never tried out coaching before, I was excited to see what the process was like, but also a little nervous about how vulnerable I might feel.
Becky completely put me at ease and our sessions naturally unfolded in an organic way, with Becky steering the course to prevent me from going too far off track!
I was quite surprised at how much there was to talk about and I certainly hadn't appreciated how many thoughts had been spinning around my head, that really needed addressing! Becky helped me to be more systematic and organised in the issues that I presented to her.
I had felt pretty anxious about my future plans and which way to move forwards, but talking it through was such a huge help, and I always left our sessions feeling calmer and with a clearer strategy in mind.
Coaching with Becky has really made me focus on what brings me joy, and 'in a state of flow', rather than being tied to work that does the opposite. I found it so helpful to learn how to tune into these feelings and be guided with that in mind. It's early days for me, since finishing the program, but I have already been setting up a framework of ways to implement my new ideas.
I'd recommend this process to others who are at a crossroads and those who would like to fine tune their offering. Becky is lovely, and I found the whole experience very positive."

“I was seeking a mentor because I’ve had a hard time knowing where to start with my photography career. I was feeling very confused. Becky was helpful in breaking down every step I needed to take to make this dream become a reality.
I gained so much from the sessions and for that I am eternally grateful. Foremost, I learnt how to believe more in my photography goals, time management, how to organise a shoot from start to finish, how to understand the client’s needs in order to deliver good work, as well as learning from mistakes and improving upon them. I have more confidence in delivering excellent work to clients.
Our sessions allowed me break down what I wanted to achieve in steps. These steps were measured so I was able to achieve them without feeling immense pressure. Before my sessions with Becky, I didn’t even know where to begin as I was finding it difficult breaking down my goals into achievable parts
I found Becky’s approach very impactful. Within two months while being coached by her, I booked my first photography session which was amazing! Just booking my first shoot was incredible as my confidence in what I was doing increased from then onwards.
I would definitely recommend Becky. Although I didn’t know her until this fall, I felt like I had known her for a very long time. She’s very approachable and listens to what you have to say, offering the best advice and direction. She’s good at what she does.
You will be safe in her hands, have more confidence in delivering the best, and learn how to communicate with your clients to understand want they need in order to deliver. If you were finding it difficult find your feet, this will change from coaching with Becky, as you will be able to take it step by step. You will also learn time and quality management and re-inspire your vision as a photographer.

“I had a mentoring call with Becky Rui when Personal Branding Photography was something I was considering bringing into my business alongside Wedding Photography. She was so helpful and patient - I had a lot of questions!
Becky talked through my plans with me and gave me focus for what should be the next goal to aim for. My brain naturally tries to focus on a million things at once, so it was really helpful to narrow down what my next step should be.
Speaking to someone with so much experience and knowledge to share was incredibly useful and I would recommend Becky's mentoring to anyone who needs a bit of help and guidance with growing their photography business.
