Coaching for Future Photographers
Being a photographer has been a dream of mine for as long as I could remember! After taking photos for my family and friends for several years, I finally decided to take the leap of faith and turn my hobby into my full-time job in January 2021. I had a couple of mentors my first year, which definitely helped me get my foot in the door. I highly encourage new photographers to do some sort of mentorship or education their first or second year!
In my first year of business I tripled my goal. My second year, I doubled my earnings from my first year. This allowed me to quit my 9-5 job and go full-time pursuing my dream as a photographer, and I'd love to help you do the same!

“Kristen is so easy to work with. She made me feel comfortable during my photo shoot. She responded quickly when needed and even provided a styling guide on what to wear. Most importantly, she captured precious pictures that will last forever. The photos exceeded my expectations. I love them all! Thanks Kristen!”
