Hi Reader!

I want to share a story that perfectly shows what can happen when a photographer finally has clarity, direction, and a community behind them.

Meet Shilpa.

She joined Stock Photography Academy and Stock Photo Besties back in late September of this year. She already had beautiful food photography and years of experience. What she did not have was a clear direction for how to license more of her work, and where her work truly belonged.

She was not sure how to organize her shoots.
She was not sure what premium agencies actually wanted.
She was not sure how to take the next step without guessing.

But once she joined SPA and Besties, something shifted.

She started watching the workshops, learning how agencies think, and seeing the gaps and strengths in her own work. She finally understood what made her food photography valuable, where it could shine, and which agencies would be the right match for her.

For the first time, she had a plan.
She had structure.
She had steps.

And she had people she could actually talk to about it.

Stock Photography Academy gave her the foundation.
Besties gave her the accountability and ongoing conversations she needed.

Because of that clarity, she decided to pursue a niche food agency that felt like the perfect home for her work. She organized her archive, pulled together her strongest images, and took the step she had been putting off for years.

Her confidence was different this time.
The way she prepared her portfolio was different.
Her understanding of her niche was different.

And the biggest shift was this: she wasn't doing this alone.

This is what support looks like.
This is what clarity creates.
This is what happens when you stop spinning and start moving with intention.

If you want to walk into 2026 with that same level of direction, clarity, and confidence, today is the best moment to start.

Stock Photography Academy is still 50% off until midnight tonight.
But more importantly,

Today is also the last day to grab these bonuses:

1. The full 2025 and 2026 Agency Sessions
Real conversations with premium agencies so you can understand what they actually want.

2. Three months in Stock Photo Besties for $1/ month
Get access to our private community, IG account, the holiday challenge, and the New Year planning session!
This is where you get support, accountability, and answers when you need help.

You deserve more than another year of putting this on the back burner.

Stock Photography Academy gives you the foundation.
The Agency Sessions give you direction.
Besties gives you the structure and community to keep going.

You are closer than you think!

xo,
Aubrey

Hi Reader! Six years ago, I blew up my life. I left a home I loved, a career I had built, and a community that felt like mine, all to move back “home.”Closer to family. More affordable. A better place to raise a baby. Except… that version of home didn’t exist anymore. Within a month, housing prices exploded. The world shut down. The pandemic hit creatives especially hard. And like a lot of photographers, I panicked. I felt forced to pivot into anything and everything to make money as a...

Hi Reader! I want to tell you a quick story about something I set my mind to this year. This past year I applied to a new premium stock agency, The Luupe. Years ago, someone who worked at Getty mentioned The Luupe to me. Very casually and very discreetly, they said they believed it was the future of stock photography. I remember looking it up and immediately thinking there was no way I could ever get in. After a few years of proving to myself that I could do a lot of things I once thought...

Happy New Year Reader! Later this week, I’ll be sharing exactly how I worked toward my stock photography goals this year. But before that, I want to talk about something important. If earning from photo licensing is on your 2026 vision board, getting your work into premium stock matters. A lot. Think about it from the brand side for a second. A brand spends tens of thousands of dollars on a campaign. Strategy, copy, colors, creative direction. Every decision is intentional. Then imagine they...
