Hey, photographer...

What if I told you that in just five months you could have a growing creative wedding photography business that creates increased revenue and build a community that lifts you up - and you will get hours back in your work week too!

"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!"

^^Yeah—uh no. That's not exactly what you had in mind when you dreamt up turning your passion into a business, is it?
Hear me loud and clear: no amount of hustling and late-night working is going to soften the feeling of uncertainty in the pit of your stomach about what the future of your business looks like.

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?

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.

Imagine finally having the guidance and clarity to know what you should be focusing on to make moves in your biz, andddd it’s tailored to what you want your life to become. 

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.

DISCOVERY CALL

Hey! I'm Katelyn

Hello there! My name is Katelyn, 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.

I've built a photography business that serves my life, and I really love my life.

FREEDOM IN YOUR BUSINESS

CREATIVITY IN YOUR BUSINESS

HAPPINESS IN YOUR BUSINESS

I didn't invest in coaches until way later than I should have. Once I did, it was life-changing. 

In 2021, during an ongoing PANDEMIC, I brought in well over $100,000. An increase of $46,772, from 2019 and I don't think that would have happened without the strategies and support of multiple coaches (and a therapist.) 😊

Talk about ROI. I made back over 5x what I spent on coaching during that time period. My most profitable year ever! 

I've built a six-figure wedding photography business, working with the kindest and most creative couples to capture their dream weddings. 

I'm here to inspire and guide you to do the same. With over 10 years of experience under my belt, I can share proven strategies and actionable steps to help you achieve your goals. Let's work together to build a business that serves your life and allows you the freedom you deserve.

You know you have the drive and potential to hit new heights, and with me as your coach, you’ll have the roadmap to know you’re headed in the right direction, and headed there fast. 

I'm ready to grow!

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?
