this course is all you need to get started!
Hey friends! I'm Katelyn and I've been a professional photographer since 2008 and an educator for over 10 years now. I actually have a confession to make....
Before you run away.... here's why this benefits you. The greatest advantage that I had starting off was that I learned photography my own way.
I didn't have a professor's rules haunting me in my mind. I didn't have an old-school exposure mentality stuck in my brain and causing me to doubt my style. I literally learned on my own and I created a method for manual shooting that allowed me to freely create well exposed images that I absolutely loved! I've taken my manual shooting method and have created a way for you to learn it too! I'm thrilled that you found me! Now let's dive in!
tell me...
ARE YOU TIRED OF...
- DARK, GRAINY IMAGES?
- WONDERING WHY IT LOOKS SO EASY FOR OTHERS?
- having a camera you don't understand?
- blurry images?
- missed opportunities for amazing photos?
- feeling like something just isn't clicking?
- PICTURES YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH?
I went back to school for a photography degree
you explain it all so well!"
BUT The light bulb finally went off with your course

Jen
REMEMBERs BEFORE:
"Before I took any of your courses I felt like I was just blindly shooting. My editing was a mess, my posing was a mess, everything was just a mess. But after your courses, I began to build systems and started recognizing good light, and feeling confident in posing."
Kristina
CONFIDENT IN MANUAL MODE
"Before this course, I was afraid to use manual mode because I didn’t have any clue what to do. Since this course, I now feel confident!"
Cherika
understands lighting
"Before this course, light was my biggest struggle! I was so confused. Now I feel confident in my abilities to place clients in flattering light!"

CAMERA CONFIDENCE
FINDING GREAT LIGHT
but will you see results?
Be warned : This education will affect the way you see absolutely everything. You'll be finding great light scenarios on your drive to pickup the kids, you'll be noticing pockets of light in your home and you'll even start making changes to simple photos taken on your phone!
THE FINISHING TOUCH
It's intimidating to learn how to master the manual settings of the camera... But it doesn't have to be! I will teach you how to learn manual shooting in a way that only requires you to manage one key variable at a time!

Megan
WOWED HERSELF:
When your education clicked I was like oh my gosh, did I take this? There is no way I took this. I seriously should’ve invested in you before a camera!
Alyssa
had things click:
When I say your education changed my life.. I mean it CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!! I tried everything I could to learn before your education!! Spending HOURS and HOURS on YouTube but nothing was “clicking” until I found you! Then everything just made sense! I remember being so frustrated because I just couldn’t “get” what I wanted or envisioned.. now… whole different story!!!
While I believe wholeheartedly that beautiful images are created in-camera and not through editing, you still need to know how to master Lightroom. You'll be able to navigate the interface and understand all that it has to offer you! Say goodbye to trial and error editing!

The kj starter course
The Lighting & location course
THE STARTER COURSE vs.
lighting & locations Course
- desires to learn about natural lighting at a basic level and then take it to the next level
- regularly shoots in manual and has an understanding of the relationship between iso, shutter speed, and aperture.
- is at a professional level and wants to elevate their work
Do i need both?
- needs every part of manual shooting broken down
- is a mom that wants to learn how to use her camera
- is at the beginning of pursuing their dream of starting a photography business
- has just started getting paid for their work but struggles to understand manual shooting and lighting
- needs a solid foundation of all of the basics
- doesn’t understand how to get the look they want
If you have already taken the L&L Course and you're wondering if this course would teach you anything new, here's is what I would recommend. The KJ Starter Course would teach you the foundational basics in a different way than they were taught in the L&L Course. The L&L didn't dive deep into the basics of manual shooting to the same degree as the Starter Course. If you are comfortable with manual shooting and can clearly detect good natural light no matter where you are shooting, you do not need the KJ Starter Course. The Starter Course is truly for beginners. We are known in the industry for having courses that are geared more towards established photographers, The Starter Course is our first course that was truly designed with only beginners in mind.

I REMEMBER BEFORE:
"My second wedding ever and so new to photography typing into Google “why can’t I get any pop??” and stumbled upon KJ.
It changed my business right then! I have since bought everything she offers. Everything just “clicked”. With every course I was seeing more and more progress!"
Christina
found what she needed:
"I cannot thank you enough for your education. I’m not even 2 years in and SO proud of my work and business, all thanks to you!!
This is from Christina's first session ever vs a recent wedding she shot! We're so proud of her progress in just 2 years!! Well done!
Mikayla
has upped her game:
"I can’t tell you how much your education has enhanced my shooting knowledge and my husbands, too!
He is my second shooter and I taught him everything you’ve taught me and he has come so far! I was actually excited to edit when I didn’t have to spend 25 minutes on each image!"
"I love being able to
having vague concepts or ideas!"
take things and immediately put them into practice rather than

"Katelyn gives
-NEELY
EXAMPLES FROM HER PAST WORK TO SHOW US IT CAN BE DONE!"
"I'm only 17 years old and my business has continued to grow more than I ever thought possible and I attribute a lot of that to you (katelyn) and the amazing content you offer!"
