Adventure Boudoir Mentorship

Not a copy-paste course. Not a one-size-fits-all script.
This is 1:1 mentorship tailored just for you.

Whether you're craving a deeper connection to your craft, stuck in part-time hustle mode, or ready to take your boudoir work to wild, breathtaking places—you're in the right place.

I’ve hosted over 500 sessions, built a six-figure adventure boudoir business from the ground up, and I’m finally opening my schedule to share everything.

Meet Your Mentor — Molly of Zealous Stills

Photographer. Educator. Outdoor-loving truth-teller.

I’m Molly—the woman behind the lens (and the screen) at Zealous Stills. Since 2017, I’ve photographed over 500 people across four continents, five countries, and 18 U.S. states. I’ve been named one of AIBP’s Top 10 Photographers of the Year four years in a row, including 1st runner-up in 2020. My work has appeared in Philosophie, Corduroy Road, and NABLO magazines.

But what matters more than the accolades? I built a studio from scratch in Chicago, then rebuilt it 2,000 miles away in a remote town in Central Oregon—as an outdoor boudoir business. (Spoiler: That genre barely existed when I started.)

Why I Mentor

I don’t believe in gatekeeping. I believe in raising the bar—for all of us.
This isn’t a course, and it’s not fluff. It’s personal. It’s real. It’s 1:1.

Whether you want to build confidence, break into outdoor sessions, fine-tune your pricing, or finally go full-time—I’m here to walk beside you. I don’t hold anything back, and I don’t sell copy-paste answers. We build your version of success.

What It’s Like to Learn With Me

My teaching style is direct, patient, and full of heart. I don’t sugarcoat, but I do hold space.

I’ve been shaped by incredible mentors who teach with structure, visuals, humor, and hands-on learning—and I bring that same energy to you. I’ll tell you what you’re going to learn, explain how and why it works, and help you put it into action with clarity.

Nothing is “one size fits all.” I listen first. I adapt. And I meet you exactly where you are—with zero judgment and total honesty.
