Montana Diaries Education
Heyyyy creatives, entrepreneurs, photogs, and videographers! I’m SO PUMPED to present our educational resources, favorite tools, and badass community all in one place.
I’m Shayna Lloyd
founder of Montana Diaries
A college HOBBY hiking YouTube series turned ACTUAL MULTIMEDIA COMPANY serving adventurous couples like me and my husband, Brandon. I used to dream of a life of creativity and freedom, and I would go around and around and around in circles about how to make that life happen. The answer has come in the form of entrepreneurship, and trust me, I took the longggg way when it came to learning, well…EVERYTHING. Today, I know the power of crafting a business that reflects your core values AND serves the creative life that you are trying to cultivate.
I’ve talked to SO MANY creatives over the years who have *questions* ranging from business to marketing to tech and everything in between, and the undercurrent of all of it is “I just want to live an artistic life and make money doing it, but the knowledge gap is freaking overwhelming.”
I FEEL THAT. I see you. Whether you’re a photographer or videographer like me, or a creative entrepreneur in a different niche, you crave authenticity. You want to serve your clients well. You only want to attach your name to work you’re proud of. And, listen, I don’t think you need to spend years fumbling around the way I did! Together, we can close that knowledge gap with the resources and tools below buttttt spoiler alert: whatever challenge you’re working through, you CAN do it. I promise.

CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS: Do you want to create beautiful films with the equipment you already use in your photography business WITHOUT sifting through hours of YouTube videos of techy dudes unboxing expensive gear, explaining editing programs way too quickly, and pushing their affiliate links to things you’re not sure you even need? Yes, it’s possible — introducing Videography for Photographers, the self-paced video course that will teach you alllll about integrating video into your existing photography business without the overwhelm.
By the end of the course you will:
gain an introductory knowledge of video using your existing photography equipment
integrate video into your marketing and web presence
develop a hybrid-shooting system that enables you to offer videos to your photo clients
use video to help with SEO and to get favored by the dreaded social media algorithms, and see how video keeps eyes on YOUR content for LONGER
learn best practices for posting video to social media platforms and your website
If you’re ready to make this the year that you incorporate videography into your existing photography business, whether it’s for client offers or your own marketing efforts, then join me for Videography for Photographers and we’ll make it happen with the equipment you already use. I’LL SEE YOU THERE!
