I'm ready to enroll and save

✓ You spend more time fixing photos than creating them. 

✓ You show up to sessions already anxious about where you’ll shoot.

✓ You feel stuck in a style that doesn’t feel like you — because the light never seems to work in your favor.

✓ You’re tired of guessing, hoping, and crossing your fingers that “this spot will work."

✓ You’re over the editing spiral, the second-guessing, and the slow loss of confidence in your ability.


Here’s how you know lighting might be the silent problem:

What if lighting wasn’t your biggest fear… but your greatest strength?

The Lighting & Location Course was built to fix all of this.

See light differently. Shoot confidently. Capture images you love.

If this course can transform your lighting game and help you shoot with confidence, what is that worth to you?

"I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for your L&L course! If you're questioning whether to take the it... DO IT! It’s life changing ! You’ll see light in such a different way!"

meet Amy

“This course not only made me so much more confident in sessions, but it has also saved me countless hours of editing and has helped me produce the results I want and am proud of!!”

meet Emily

"Before this course, my images were dark and just felt… meh. Now? I finally know how to create that light and airy look I love, and Katelyn helped me achieve it!”

MEET OUR STUDENTS

GET EXCITED FOR YOUR OWN TRANSFORMATION!

YOU'RE TIRED OF FEELING 'FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT". You want to feel like a pro and wow your clients!

YOU'RE DONE BEING STUCK. Certain lighting situations always stop you in your tracks.

YOU KEEP THINKING... "WHAT AM I MISSING?" Everyone else seems to get it. You want to, too.

YOU'RE OVER THE NERVES. You just want to feel sure when you show up to a shoot.

EVERY PHOTO FEELS THE SAME. You’re playing it safe and it’s showing.

YOUR CAMERA STILL DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOURS. You’re not confident , you’re just guessing.

YOU FREEZE WHEN IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE A SPOT. And the anxiety shows up before the camera even does.

YOU JUST WANT TO GET IT RIGHT IN-CAMERA. Not patch it later with editing.

EDITING FEELS NEVER-ENDING. You’re tired of spending hours fixing what could’ve been shot right.

Check what applies.
If two or more resonate, it's a fit!

Not sure if it's for you?

WHAT LIFE COULD LOOK LIKE

just imagine...

Stop thinking that your crazy hours behind your computer are normal.
After taking the Lighting & Location Course, you'll be consistently shooting in the right locations and in the type of natural light that produces clean skin tones and perfect pop! Cut your editing time in half!

Less time editing, more time for your life

You can’t raise prices if you don't attract the right kind of clients… and you can’t attract high-paying clients if your work never improves.
You need the tools that will help you elevate your client experience, enhance your image quality, and increase the TRUST of your clients. 

Get paid what you're worth to do what you love!

Imagine knowing that you can make EVERY session amazing, no matter what. Harsh light? No problem! Client picked a horrible location? You'll have a solution. No shade? You'll have a plan! This is what catapults your credibility... when you can make magic happen anywhere!

Never get paralyzed by a location

Arrive to your shoots excited to be there instead of flooded with crippling pre-shoot anxiety. Leave your shoot KNOWING you have amazing images on your memory cards instead of cringing while they are uploading. When you have a formula to use to consistently find great light and locations, sessions become FUN again!

Stop doubting your professionalism

You can’t manage negative space, utilize the rule of thirds, look for lead lines and properly compose an image if you're spending all of your shoot time scrambling to find good light. The thing is, all of those characteristics are what make people stop scrolling on Instagram… mastering lighting is the first step towards setting yourself apart.

Finally create scroll-stopping images

Your light determines your luxury-level. If you can fool people into thinking your budget bookings were actually high-end, there is literally no stopping you!  Let me teach you how to instantly elevate your images!

“Thank you! I was able to use SO MUCH of what you taught in this course to capture these, even when the light was harsh at the beginning, and especially in choosing the locations. What you teach is a GAME CHANGER!!! Now I know exactly why some photos seem to turn out better than others!! Thank you for helping to make my work more consistent. You just amaze me!!”

- stephanie k.

“My first wedding since taking the course! I can see such a difference in the consistency of my work in the past few sessions and especially this wedding. So often I was getting great shots "on accident" and didn't know why the light was so magical in some and blah in others. I took ALL of their portraits in one area and made the best use of light in that one spot instead of focusing on other areas just for diversity's sake.”

- brandi k.

“If you're on the fence about investing in the Lighting & Location Course...DO IT! This is my sixth year as a wedding photographer and I really wanted to challenge myself this year to put what I'm learning in KJ's course into action...aka take more risks and don't play it "safe" when it comes to lighting and locations on a wedding day!”

- jenna t.

“Can't believe how much this course has improved my portfolio. I started to cry when I saw this completed collage because I was so happy with my work. The client sent me the sweetest message about how much she loved them and found them to be artistic and beautiful. This is far from where I started before the course!”

- kassandra o.

common question:

...does this only work for one style?

answer:

No! Great natural lighting techniques can be applied to any style!

Different students, different styles, same goal:

CONSISTENCY

These are all different styles, but they were all achieved the same way — by mastering lighting, even in challenging locations. When you truly understand light, you gain complete control. You can create any style you’re drawn to. The Lighting & Location Course isn’t about mastering the KJ style. It’s about discovering your own and being able to replicate it at every session.

what if it's not a good fit?

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

Nervous to make this big of an investment? I absolutely get it, no worries! That's why I'm offering my 30-day, risk-free happiness policy, because if you're not happy, I'm not happy.

If you complete all of the content within 30 days of enrolling, read through the workbook, and still feel like there's no way you can apply this education to your photography business, I'll buy the course back from you.

My no fluff policy:

 I've been there. The "Fear of Fluff" is real and can cause hesitation when investing in online education! This is a fluff-free zone. I am committed to that because I've been burned by that myself in the past. You deserve quality content that changes your life and that is exactly what you will get!

Don't Just
Take My 
Word For It...

Your questions answered...

Yes yes yes!! If you’re a photographer who photographs PEOPLE of any kind, and you love natural light, this is for YOU! We specifically included some behind-the-scenes examples with individuals and a child to ensure that this is a game changer for you!

Yes! However, it will not always be available at this price.

No! All you need is your brain and internet access! :)

You'll get access immediately! And have access FOREVER, so you can pull up these videos and lessons whenever you need a boost or a refresher course. Watch at your own pace with one lesson a week … or binge-watch the entire course over the weekend! I know you have family needs and other things to tend to, so I want to make sure you have access to these tools forever. Once you enroll, you'll get access the same day! Woo hoo! 

ABSOLUTELY!!! Yes, it’s so much smarter to do all of this at the very beginning and set your business up for success well, instead of having to go back and change things a year or two in! Learn how to get your images how you desire straight out of camera!! 

You will not need to download the video files in order to access them. You will simply be able to log in and view your videos online. However, you will need an adequate internet connection to allow the videos to load so you can watch them! 

I have a super tight return policy -- but it’s only because I want to make sure I’m attracting dedicated, serious photographers. I have worked so hard to make this program serve you right where you are, but I certainly understand the fear in buying something you can’t fully experience before purchase--that would give me pause, too! As such, by purchasing, you’re agreeing to my 30-day guarantee: if you complete the entire course and do all the work within 30 days from date of enrollment and aren’t satisfied, just show me your work, let me know why it wasn’t a great fit for you and I’m happy to buy the course back from you.
