"I thought I knew a thing or two about SEO but compared to the knowledge Kristen provided me, I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on!

I’m so grateful for the photography education I received from Kristen!"

I Can't Wait to meet you!

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!
