Here's what our current students are saying about the course:
"I’ve been flicking through your sales toolkit! Wow! So much invaluable info! I’m so glad I joined your course!! There’s nothing out there that I’ve seen that gives you the tools, structure, resources, templates etc the way you and Elise have! Truly one of the most transparent courses I’ve been privileged to be apart of! I’m only a fraction of the way through and already found so much value!!”
“WOW! This is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! I’m absolutely going to put together a 3 tiered option now. The email template is fantastic, and I feel like I’ve already gotten more than my money’s worth from this. Thanks again!”
"Thank you!! We've been food blogging for awhile now, but are just starting to pivot towards brand photography and videography. After you helped me figure out lighting so easily and effortlessly, I decided I really needed to take your course to help me get systems up and running for 2026. AND WOW! We've done a few courses related to food blogging over the years but this is by far the most informative course I've come across. And it's nice to have something productive to watch as I hold my baby at 5am 🙃"
"They know how to create and grow a long term business relationship."
"Working with Evan & Elise has been an absolute game-changer for our brands."
"Our team has learned more about successful social content than we ever have before."
"This is amazing!! I am so thrilled that I found you!!! The brand just came back with Option B for $5K!!!!! I honestly, cannot even express how much I appreciate the help that you gave me in writing and figuring out this counter offer. I am truly truly grateful for you! I don’t think I could’ve done it without you! You're the best!"
“The course was incredibly helpful! I walked away with clear, actionable steps and a renewed sense of direction. It’s so refreshing to connect with people who genuinely want to support creators and help them grow. Thank you Evan and Elise, Highly recommend it!”
Meet Your Instructors
We’re Elise and Evan. We like good food, stiff drinks, and getting paid.
To the Creative who loves the work but hates the business,
If you are reading this, let’s be honest: You probably love the lighting, the styling, and the magic of capturing the perfect shot.
But you are tired of not understanding how to "work on your business" rather than "work in your business".
You are tired of the "feast or famine" cycle where one month you feel rich and the next you are panic-pitching just to cover rent.
You are tired of sending pricing quotes, getting ghosted, not feeling prepared in sales meetings, and not understanding how to upsell with ease.
And you are definitely tired of seeing other creators rake in all the big bucks.
We know exactly how that feels. Because a few years ago, that was us.
If that at all sounds about right then keep reading because this course is probably going to change your life.
Heres why:
We had the passion. Elise practically has marinara sauce in her veins (her Nonno ran the legendary Della Santina’s in Sonoma), and Evan spent years as a craft cocktail bartender.
We started Carnelian Cooks out of a grandparent’s kitchen in Lake Tahoe with big dreams and zero industry connections.
But we quickly learned a hard lesson: You can create the most beautiful content in the world and still be broke.
"Posting and praying" wasn't paying the rent.
Everything changed when Evan stopped thinking like an artist and started thinking like a Sales Director.
He took his decade of experience in high-pressure corporate sales, selling in the trenches, managing teams, closing financial products, and door-to-door grinding, and applied it to our creative studio.
We took those hard-nosed corporate tactics (Cold Outreach, Negotiation, CRMs) and stripped away the "used car salesman" energy. We replaced the aggression with hospitality.
We built a system that treats every pitch like a relationship, not a transaction.
The result? It worked. We went from working for free product to securing $10k monthly retainers with top-tier brands.
In 2025, we hit over $230,000 in revenue using the exact tools in this toolkit.
We built this for the food photographer, the blogger, or the content creator who is ready to stop guessing and start billing.
So, if you are ready to start booking better brand deals, landing retainer clients, and growing your creative business, then we would love to see you inside!
We are just two normal people looking to help out as many other creatives as possible.
Cin Cin!
Elise & Evan
