Oh, hey photographer!
"I love being a wedding photographer. I spend my days editing photos & responding to emails, wondering where my next lead will come from. It’s so unpredictable, an it takes up all my time!"
Definitely not.
Let’s get real for a second, friend
You’re tired of second-guessing yourself: Am I good enough? Are my prices right? Are they going to book me? Am I going to make enough this year?
Any of this sound familiar?
You’re sick of spending so much time creating beautiful photographs, only for them to hit your Instagram feed for a hot minute and disappear into the digital void.
You’ve spent hours on YouTube learning more than you knew you could about cameras, lenses, flashes, and posing — when all you really want to do is learn how to run your business.
You know that's where the sustainable success comes from.
But you can't figure out how to even begin ... and the nuts-and-bolts of setting all of that up!? It's beyond you.
Plus you're already a busy photographer with everything else on your plate—if you have to figure out the how-to secrets for ONE more thing in business you may just throw in the towel.
Well I see you, and I felt the same way.
That's why I have spent years honing in on what matters in business, stepping into my CEO role, and building a six-figure wedding photography business.
And I want to show you how to do the same.
You’re closer to reaching
that feeling of
in your business than you think.
Just think about being able to have balance in your business. You'd have a roadmap on where to go so you can focus on building a sustainable business that works, whether you have a family, or want to travel half the year, or just want to get your hair done at noon on a Wednesday- because you can.
- Get guidance and vision tailored to your life and business.
- Achieve balance in your business with a roadmap for success.
- Feel confident about bookings and pricing, even while taking time off.
- Wake up excited with clarity and a plan for the future.
- Build your business with tools and resources through any season.
- Say goodbye to imposter syndrome, worrying about booking, and uncertainty about business structure.
- Reach a better-than-ever, profitable wedding season.
A better-than-ever, profitable wedding season is within reach.

"After 7+ years as a professional photographer, I found myself feeling stuck and uninspired. I knew where I wanted to go, but had no idea how to get there. Working with Katelyn has helped shape my business into everything I wanted and more."

I'm Katelyn!
I'm a wedding photographer and business coach, and I know what it's like to feel overworked and underpaid in a job that doesn't serve your life. But I'm here to tell you – it doesn't have to be that way.
In just my second year of business, I transformed my life by becoming a wedding photographer that set out to build a career that was intentional, heart-centered, and innovative. Now, as a full-time wedding and elopement photographer, I'm able to set my own rules and make my own hours.
I've built a six-figure wedding photography business, working with the kindest and most creative couples to capture their dream weddings. And I want to share my knowledge with you.
I used the “golden brain” tactics, meaning left-brained strategy that drives right-brain creativity, I transformed my life by becoming a wedding photographer that set out to build a successful six-figure career that is intentional, efficient, and heart-centered.
My goal as a coach is to help you tap into your unique talents and skills (both left and right brained ones!) to build a successful business.

answers to
Your questions
If you've never tried coaching before, let me tell you it's life-changing. After I (finally) invested in business coaching, I made $47000 more than I ever had in business. So yeah, it works!
What if I’ve never done coaching before?
If nothing changes, nothing changes. Do you want to look back next year and still be in the same place you're in now, wondering where your next lead will come from or how you can create a more successful business? You'll be missing out on the roadmap to achieving that success NOW.
What if I don’t sign up? Will I be missing out?
Ascend is really catered to where you want to grow in your business, but we generally pick a focus based on your goals. This can look like: raising your prices, creating workflows, building your client experience, creating a magnetic brand, improving your editing and technical skills, learning more about how to shoot weddings, and more!
What topics do we cover?
YES! I wanted to make Ascend accessible for everyone, so I have a few extended payment plan options. Ascend costs equivalent to a few weddings, or a handful of senior sessions, or even a couple print sales, and I'll show you exactly how to make that return on your investment.
I just don’t think I can spend that right now! Isn’t there a payment plan?
Let's get on the phone! I would love to learn more about your business and come up with a customized coaching plan for you!
I have more questions—how can I get in touch?
