What is Rachael Boer Education?

Rachael Boer Education is the home for photography resources created by Rachael Boer and her educational team, including online courses, the Women in Focus Photography Academy, a template shop, blog, done-for-you marketing services, and more.

What makes the Women in Focus Photography Academy different?

The Academy is designed to be a holistic resource for women in photography, helping women to thrive in all areas of their lives: photography, family, self-care, and personal growth. The material assists women in improving their photography and business skills, but also addresses other common concerns and struggles, including self-care, organization, mental health resources, and the challenges of overwhelm. The tools are presented in a step-by-step manner and in short, concise modules. Fresh videos and resources are added each month. In addition, we maintain a very strong emphasis on community and members are encouraged to connect with other members and instructors in our exclusive Facebook groups for support.

Monthly “Think Tank” calls allow members to brainstorm together to address any questions or challenges they are experiencing and has bonuses like contests and challenges to help keep the learning experience fun.

Is all the content in The Academy taught as videos?

No! One of the requests from our members was to diversify the format of the content to appeal to many different learning styles. So we have a great variety including micro- and longer-length videos, written tutorials, interactive calculators and worksheets, recordings of live seminars, mock phone calls, and much more so there’s something for everyone.

How much access will I get to Rachael?

Rachael gives live, personal feedback in the exclusive Facebook groups, and is happy to answer questions via PM or email as her schedule allows. While it’s not quite the same as having her on call, she does seek to provide you with the best support and education in the industry.

I’m really busy. How much time will The Academy take?

You can invest as much or as little time as you’d like! There is a wealth of streamlined material, so you can find what you’re looking for in just a few minutes. You can access the material on-demand, learn what you need, and apply it immediately. With the mobile platform, everything inside The Academy can be consumed on the go!

Whether you want to watch a few short videos to get some new lighting or posing tips, or you want to dive deep into our Business Learning Library to overhaul your business, there’s something for everyone!

How often is new content added to The Academy?

A fresh drop of new material is added every single month, including things like tutorials, video classes, handouts, resources, and more. This material is added on the first day of each month. In addition, The Academy features a comprehensive business resource called the Business Learning Library (formerly known as Revive).

How many courses can I take?

As an Academy member, you can access and enjoy ALL the content on the site, including the new material added each month.

How do I search for a specific topic?

In the top corner of your dashboard, there is a search bar. Simply search for a course name, topic, or keyword.

How does billing work?

Once you join The Academy, your monthly fee will be automatically charged every 30 days unless you cancel. In fairness to all of our members, we are unable to issue refunds.

In the case of a billing discrepancy, it is your responsibility to notify us within 45 days.

How can I change my method of billing?

You can change your billing method in your member account section. If you have any trouble, email us at contact@rachaelboer.com.

After I join, can I cancel at any time?

Yes, you can. But we want to encourage you to come into this experience with a commitment mindset that will allow you to really see results. If your plan is to just join for a month or two, glance at a few modules, and then cancel, you won’t see the dramatic results that we know are possible. We want you to truly receive the benefit of the program, and to do that, you need to be immersed in it for a period of time. We recommend committing to a full year to get the maximum results - we even have an annual payment option that will save you some money if you do it that way! If you do choose to cancel, you can do so in your account menu.

Please note that if you cancel, you will be removed from the Academy members exclusive Facebook community within 48 hours.

How do I join the exclusive Academy members Facebook group?

Once you have joined the Women in Focus Photography Academy, you can request membership in the exclusive Facebook group by following the invitation link in your welcome email. This will allow you to interact with the other members and participate in exclusive calls, contests, and challenges. Your access to the Facebook group ends when you cancel your membership and does not extend until the end of your billing period. If you rejoin The Academy at any time, you are welcome to rejoin the exclusive Facebook group!
