Luxury Positioning

Build a brand identity so specific, the right client feels it was made entirely for her.

Psychology-Led Copy

NLP, sensory language, and desire triggers that convert before the first conversation begins.

Automated Funnels

ManyChat systems that qualify warm leads and hand them to you personally — while you sleep.

Premium Pricing

The framework to charge what you're worth and hold it with total confidence.

This course is built for the
photographer who already knows how

You have the skill. What you haven't had — until now — is the complete system that makes the right clients find you, trust you, and pay you properly.

Also right for you if

You're earlier in your journey and want to build premium from day one

You're 0–3 years in. Technically competent and growing. The best time to build luxury positioning is before you've spent years in the mid-market reinforcing the wrong signals. This course gives you the framework now — so you grow into it rather than having to undo what you built.

Not right for you if

You want quick hacks or overnight transformation

This is a complete system. It requires real work, genuine implementation, and the willingness to sit with discomfort as your brand transitions to a higher tier. Photographers who see results treat this as a business investment — not a passive learning experience. If you're ready to do the work, the system will do the rest.

The outcome

A business that compels the right clients — without you grinding for every booking

By the time you complete all six modules and implement the full system, your calendar fills from referrals. Your content attracts rather than chases. Your DMs contain warm, pre-qualified leads. And your price is the first signal — not the last hurdle.

Six Modules.
One Complete System.

Every module builds on the one before it. Position → Persuade → Attract → Convert → Price → Retain. Nothing is standalone. Everything compounds.

The Luxury Positioning Framework

Why most boudoir brands get stuck in the middle — and the precise system to escape it. Build your brand identity across four pillars, define your dream client with surgical precision, and write the positioning statement that becomes your north star for every word you ever write.

"The system doesn't just get you more enquiries. It gets you the right enquiries — from women who already want to work with you before they've said a word."

Andrew Felix · Felix Da Haus Cat

The work that changes
everything after it

These are not "I loved the course" reviews. These are before and after stories — from photographers who did the work.

"I walked into Module One charging $650 a session and apologising for it before the client even asked. I walked out of Module Five with a three-tier package structure, a rate of $3,200 for my Essential tier, and the language to hold it without flinching. The first booking I made at the new rate? She didn't negotiate. She didn't even pause. She just said yes. I cried in my car for twenty minutes."
Sarah M. Boudoir Photographer · Sydney, AU $650 → $3,200 per session

"The ManyChat module alone was worth the entire investment. I set up the VELVET flow on a Thursday. By Sunday I had four warm leads in my inbox — all pre-qualified, all in the right price range, all using words from my own captions to describe what they wanted. The automation doesn't feel like automation. It feels like a very good first conversation."

Jessica L. Boudoir Photographer · Melbourne, AU 4 warm leads in first 72 hrs

"I've done other photography business courses. All of them taught me what to do differently. This one taught me who to be differently. The positioning work in Module One dismantled four years of beliefs I didn't even know I was carrying about what I was allowed to charge. The copy vault alone has saved me six hours a week."

Natasha B. Boudoir & Portrait Photographer · Brisbane, AU Calendar full at new rates in 8 weeks

"I was three years into my boudoir business and completely stuck. Good clients, good reviews, no momentum. Module Three's 30-day calendar broke the paralysis. I batched a full month of content in one Saturday. The following month I had the most enquiries I'd ever received in a single month — including two referrals from clients I'd photographed over a year ago."

Claire F. Boudoir Photographer · Auckland, NZ Record month in enquiries

"The testimonial questions in Module Six. That's the thing nobody talks about and the thing that changed my business most quietly. I sent the seven questions to five past clients. Three of them sent back responses that made me cry. And those responses are now on my pricing page. My booking rate from the pricing page went from 22% to 61% in thirty days."

Emma R. Boudoir Photographer · London, UK Pricing page conversion 22% → 61%

"I'm eighteen months into my business. I took this course at month six. I'll never know what would have happened if I'd taken a different path — but I know that I'm fully booked at rates I couldn't have imagined charging as a newer photographer, and my clients arrive the way Andrew described. Already sold. Already trusting. Ready to be in the room."

Priya K. Boudoir Photographer · Singapore Fully booked at premium rates in 6 months

"The booking call script. I had never had a system for calls — I used to just wing it and hope. I ran the Module Five script with my next three enquiries. All three booked. Not because I became a better salesperson. Because the script is designed so that the client does most of the talking — and her own words become the reason she books."

Andrew Felix

Boudoir Photographer · Educator · Felix Da Haus Cat

I shoot boudoir for women who are done waiting to feel worthy of being seen — properly, entirely, without apology. I charge premium rates. I work with one client at a time. I've shot across seven countries. And I built this course because I spent the first years of my career doing everything right — technically — and still couldn't understand why my calendar wasn't full of the right people.

It wasn't my lens. It wasn't my editing. It was the story I was telling about who I was and who my work was for. Once I fixed that? Everything changed.

The Velvet Lens Method is the complete system I built — refined through years of real sessions, real clients, real DM conversations, and real pricing calls. Not a theoretical framework. A working system. The one I use every day.

I also run Sky Haus Drone (aerial cinematography for real estate and construction), the Felix Da Haus Cat boudoir brand, Quantum Cr8tive, and — eventually — the Chase the Golden Hour international boudoir tour across seven cities. This course is the foundation of all of it.

Everything you need to
decide with clarity

I'm only 1–2 years into boudoir. Is this too advanced for me?

No — and in many ways, earlier is better. The photographers who make the fastest progress in this course are often those who haven't yet spent years reinforcing mid-market habits. The positioning framework, the copy systems, and the funnel architecture are all scaleable — they work whether you're charging $400 or $4,000. The goal is to give you the infrastructure now, so your growth compounds from day one.

I shoot other genres too — couples, portraits, boudoir. Will this still apply?

Yes. The positioning framework, the NLP copy systems, the content pillars, and the client relationship architecture are all transferable. The specific examples and scripts are written for the boudoir market — but the underlying psychology works for any premium service photographer. You'll adapt the language, not the structure.

How long do I have access to the course?

Lifetime. You own the course from the moment you enrol. That includes all six module videos, all six workbooks, all slide decks, all swipe files, and the private community. Future updates to the course content — as platforms evolve and the market shifts — are included automatically.

What if I've already tried other photography business courses?

Most photography business courses teach tactics — what to post, when to post, which hashtags to use. This course teaches the underlying psychology and architecture that makes tactics work. If you've found that previous courses gave you things to do but not a fundamentally different result, the issue is likely positioning — which is exactly what Module One addresses.

How much time does it take to implement?

The course itself is 24 hours of video content — designed to be completed over 6–8 weeks at a pace that allows for implementation between modules. The implementation work is structured in the workbooks and typically adds 3–5 hours per module. The weekly content system from Module Three is designed to run in approximately 3 hours per week once set up.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes. All three tiers offer payment plans. The Course is available as 2 × $259 AUD. VIP as 3 × $349 AUD. The Mentorship as 3 × $780 AUD. All payment plans are split across monthly intervals from the date of enrolment. Indicate your preference in the application form.

What is the Implementation Guarantee?

If you complete all six module assignments — the exercises, the worksheets, and the community submissions — within 60 days of enrolment, and you haven't seen a measurable improvement in your enquiry quality or conversion rate, we'll work with you personally until you do. This is not a money-back guarantee — it's a results guarantee. We want the system running for you, not a refund.

I'm international — is this relevant outside Australia?

Yes. The positioning framework, NLP patterns, content system, ManyChat automation, pricing psychology, and client relationship architecture all apply regardless of location. The specific pricing examples use AUD — adjust for your market. The psychological principles behind premium purchasing decisions are universal. Several students in the current cohort are based in the UK, Singapore, South Africa, and New Zealand.
