Let's work together to craft custom strategies that work for your brain and business! You'll have my eyes and ears on every part of your business with coaching calls, daily support & realtime feedback!

Hand off editing wedding catalogs so you can have time & energy back - especially during busy season! Freedom & flexibility is possible for you β€”  but it starts with taking the first step to outsource your edits!

Hi, I'm Manali! The Founder of Free & Fulfilled - Hybrid  Quarterly Coaching + Editing Support for Photographers

*sings whooo's that girlll...*

I started my business 6 years ago, coming from the world of Computer Science & Cognitive Science β€” to go on to triple my income and go full-time with photography in just 11 months. 

I went from charging $600 to booking $5-12K weddings at my *fave* venues across DC & VA β€” and yea, it's a "saturated market."

If you're looking to grow, I'm your girl! I break down systems and  the psychology your business needs to grow β€” and make 'em tactical and easy to implement for you.

When I realized I wanted to scale my income (without losing Sunday brunch plans w/ friends & fam) - I felt like I needed two of me β€” or Hermione's Time-Turner.

I made the scary decision to invest in both business coaching AND outsourcing my editing - at the same time.

I ~solemnly swear~ that getting high-level support is what will allow you to grow and scale your business, quickly.

It Feels Like Justtt Yesterday...
