A community for authentic growth
To challenge and inspire you as a photographer & business owner
We created Shoot Bigger because photographers don’t need another shortcut or six-figure formula. They need a foundation. They need community. They need guidance that’s practical, honest, and sustainable.
This isn’t about hustling until you burn out. It’s about learning how to build a business you’ll still love years from now, keeping your creativity, passion, and excitement flourishing along the way.

Working with The Pinckards has truly been one of the most transformative mentorship experiences I’ve ever invested in.
The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend them to any photographer who wants to elevate their work, strengthen their business, and gain real clarity and confidence. Their mentorship has already impacted me in so many ways: I feel more aligned, more organized, more confident in my shooting, and more excited about the future of my business than ever before.

What will be taught in the weekly classes?
The classes will range from photography/creativity to business/marketing topics. Our goal is for this to be as valuable as possible for all of the members, so we will always be looking for feedback, diving deeper into topics as needed, and catering the classes to be as practical and useful as possible.
Some topics will be taught by us (Dan & Laura Pinckard), and some will be taught by guest experts. For example, we may bring in a contract lawyer to teach about protecting your business, or a CPA to teach about financial planning!
Below are some of the topics we will be starting out with!
