Hi, I’m Katie
I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS I have lived & breathed building my photography business for 17 years…
From late editing nights, handwriting each lead email from scratch to deep burnout mid-career, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to get every, single system in place to create a lucrative and sustainable business model.
I put in the time and energy (step-by-step, literally) to create a functional ecosystem of workflows and systems that have allowed me to scale my business (twice), grow a team, start a family, and get clear on my bigger life vision beyond entrepreneurship.
Although learning and implementing the right systems takes dedication, you’ll be rewarded with ample time and profit for years to come after completing my program or working with me 1:1.
Can you imagine what your life would feel like if your business was running for you, and you could truly focus on the things you value most?
I’m here to show you the way.
LET ME GUESSYou might be feeling:
Tired of wearing all of the hats in your business and the repetitive tasks it requires (editing, client management, marketing, etc.)
Overwhelmed with the business side of things. There is so much to do, but you feel paralyzed as to how to get it all under control.
Alternatively, you might feel stressed AF that you’re not booking enough or not making enough money
