JOIN A COMMUNITY THAT GETS IT
The business of wildlife photography is rarely just about making images; it’s about figuring out how to build something sustainable around the work we care deeply about.
And I started just like you, chasing the light, watching for movement, capturing wildlife in those perfect, fleeting moments. Over time, I developed my skills and grew a large portfolio of images. I wanted that one lens, the 400 mm f2.8, and I did not want to dig into my savings to buy it. I thought there had to be a way I could use those images to pay for that lens.
Fast forward 5 years from that date, and I did use my photography to pay for the lens and more. But it took me a while to figure out how, tons of trial and error and failures along the way, but I learned a lot on my journey, what works, what does not work, and now I have been able to turn my passion into profits.
And so can you, and you do not need to figure it out all alone. I built this community as a space to grow and learn together. To ask questions, to vet ideas, and to gain clarity and confidence in growing your business.
Whether you want to have a side hustle to pay for that next phototour or build a sustainable business, this place is for you.

"I just participated in our first live call and this is showing great potential to be exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been a part of other photography business groups and courses but Donna provided excellent, usable info right from the start — where others seemed too general and no actual ‘how-to’ instructions"

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this community right for beginners?
Yes. Wild Lens Biz is designed for photographers at different stages, from those just starting to explore income opportunities to experienced photographers refining and expanding their business. The focus is on clarity and decision-making, not keeping up or comparing progress.
Do I need to attend every live call to get value?
No. All live sessions are recorded and available to members. Many members join for the ongoing conversations, shared experiences, and access to resources they can revisit on their own schedule.
Is this a course or a coaching program?
Wild Lens Biz is a community-based membership, not a course. There’s no rigid curriculum or one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, members learn through ongoing discussions, real-world examples, guest conversations, and shared problem-solving.
What makes this different from free content online?
Free content often offers ideas without context. Inside Wild Lens Biz, conversations are grounded in real experience, practical decision-making, and long-term sustainability with space to ask questions and learn from others navigating similar challenges.
Will this help me make money from my photography?
Wild Lens Biz focuses on helping members make informed business decisions, from pricing and product choices to publishing and licensing. Hence, income growth is intentional, realistic, and aligned with personal goals.
What if my focus isn’t print sales or social media?
That’s okay. The community explores multiple paths, including self-publishing, licensing, workshops, editorial work, and more. The goal is to help you identify what makes sense for you, not to push a single model.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes. Monthly memberships can be cancelled at any time. Annual memberships are billed once per year and remain active for the full term.
