WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"After hiring Kara, my business saw a 650% growth in the FIRST YEAR!"
After hiring Kara, my business saw a 650% growth in the FIRST YEAR! She brings the unique combination of being previously being a photographer AND the last 10-years a business manager, AND completely understands the portrait and wedding industries. She’s so easy to work with, extremely organized, detail oriented, and just overall incredible at what she does. Take the leap and hire Kara, you will not be disappointed!

"Kara's just there for you and she has so many resources available."
“Implementing Kara’s changes will allow me to focus on my current clients instead of constantly trying to book more clients in order to make ends meet. I have more ideal clients that are willing to pay me for my services rather than packing my schedule.
I chose to work with Kara because of her photography background and her ability to connect with people— she’s just there for you and she has so many resources available. She makes herself available for you anytime, even after you’re finished working with her.”
hannah
"The most efficient hours of your life will be spent talking to Kara about your photography business."
“The most efficient hours of your life will be spent talking to Kara about your photography business. She is so smart and good at diagnosing problems and coming up with solutions and I’m only two sessions in!”

Specific
business Coaching where DETAILS and EXECUTION Matter
Fluff is for pillows, not your business coach
I’m all for motivational speeches, mindset changes, and inspirational stories about living abundantly. But in the ever-more-crowded field of photography, details and execution matter. And that big-picture stuff won’t tell you how to price your premium wedding package, build an effective local marketing strategy, or implement SEO strategies.
So when I coach, we embrace the details, come up with specific answers (and, yes, even actual numbers), and strategize regarding real-world execution.
Supported
business Coaching with All the Resources you Need
One-trick ponies are for circuses, not your livelihood.
It’s often said that it’s better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. And I whole-heartedly agree. But all that teaching falls flat without a fishing rod and some bait.
That’s why I provide a full suite of supporting products, services, and Team members so that you can maximize your coaching ROI and actually implement what you learn.

Still Have Questions?
I've got answers
A lot! I’m relentlessly focused on you – your skills, your niche, your market, your business model, your metrics of success. No cookie-cutter “systems” mean to simply emulate my success and apply to everyone.
Both. You can pick the topics, timing, and intensity that match your (evolving) needs. And feel free to reschedule calls, pivot topics, and dial in the correct pace.
But I’m also going to push you a bit and keep you on track to meet your goals.
Nope. You are billed on the first of every month. As one of my foundational pillars of business I strive to make business education as accessible as possible for every photographer who wants it.
Absolutely no problem. I am extremely flexible with my clients and realize that life happens. I generally advise no longer than a 1-month break as we tend to lose momentum, but I am more than happy to work with you if the situation where to arise that you needed to pause for a moment.
My husband is an Intellectual Property Attorney and I am a Business Coach for Photographers – between the two of us we can pretty much build you any business template you need to support your business. From contracts and agreements, to email templates and brochures.
I
This is for clients who have been through a full 6-month coaching program OR the 2-day intensive. Once complete you have the option to sign-up for a 6 or 12-month maintenance program for $199/month.
I completely understand this concern, which is why before we move forward we do a free “get to know each other” session. It’s a time where we can kind of “interview each other” and see if we click. By the end of the call I have a pretty good judge as to whether we’d work well together and if we should take it to the next step.
IF (and this has never happened in 10-years) for some reason we begin coaching and you feel we’re not jiving, I have no problem canceling our agreement and assisting you in finding a business coach that better suits you.
Nope! Everything is one-on-one over the phone or Zoom depending on the content we’re working on together. Although, I would be willing to work with a group of photographers and discount the sessions if you have friends who you’d like to team up with – let me know!
Very. This is not a side hustle for me. It’s my passion, and I’m 100% invested in your success.
