— Yours Truly

    PHOTOGRAPHER

    2008 marked the beginning of my long and beautiful journey as a photographer. Cheers to 15 years! Kreate Photography (my baby) expanded in 2015 and I've had a skilled and talented team ever since. Teamwork makes the dream work :)

    MAMA + FAMILY GAL

    I have a 2-year-old daughter that motivates me every. single. day. Nothing has been more motivating in my career than motherhood. Family first, always.

    MENTOR + COACH

    After I finally cracked the code and discovered the right formulas for running and growing a photography business without perpetual burnout, I began mentoring. I started 1:1 and group mentorship in 2017.

    HYPE GIRL

    Nothing brings me more JOY than supporting other creative entrepreneurs on their journey. I believe in community over competition, there is enough to go around! I lift others up and cannot wait to learn more about you!

MY JOURNEY

Today, my business thrives off of a set of systems and workflows that have allowed me to scale, grow a team, start a family, and move into the commercial photography sector all while maintaining a robust multi-six-figure wedding + lifestyle photography business.

Although I am feeling inspired and confident in my business right now, I’ve experienced my fair share of struggles and severe burnout on my journey. I was on the grind for years before I achieved a sense of balance and could scale my business. 

I finally cracked the code when I realized I didn't have to do it all alone. My transformation was born when I invested in my education and created a blueprint of systems, strategies, and workflows that could be repeated and improved over time. I invested in my growth, consultants, and contractors so I could focus on the top 5% of the business that only could be done by me.

I leveled up and never looked back. Halle-freakin-lujahhhh!

It’s that simple: with the right systems in place, you can build a sustainable business model and scale your business into a lucrative, energizing career.

The kind where you focus on your love for photography again, delegate like a boss, and have time for the things that light you up outside of work.

My main goal is to help you do the same thing (but in far less than 15 years). You cannot expect different results if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and I am here to help you break the cycle and reclaim balance in your life and empowerment in your career.

...because, you do not have to do it alone.

let's do this together BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALL ALONE

My programs are created for photographers who are seeking a roadmap to habits, systems + workflows that will fuel sustainable growth in their photography business.

All of my programs are designed for individuals who want to reclaim work-life balance and thrive both personally and professionally.
