Trail Guides & Resources

Beta Testing Application

TRAIL GUIDE BETA TEST: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

I’m so stoked you’re interested in beta testing one if my upcoming Trail Guides—before they officially launch!

These guides are plug-and-play resources designed to elevate your client experience, streamline your workflow, and save you time—but before they go live, I need real photographers to test them, provide feedback, and make sure they’re truly valuable and easy to implement.

This beta test will require quick feedback within 48 hours, and you’ll be able to keep the guide as a thank-you for your time

What I’m Looking For:

↠ Photographers who will actively use and test the resource(s) assigned to them
↠ Honest, constructive feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and how it can be improved
↠ A short testimonial after testing, sharing your experience and results

This is not just a free resource - it’s an opportunity to be part of something bigger and help shape a tool that will go on to help countless other photographer
