Hi, I'm Kathryn!
I'm a professional family photographer who teaches people to take professional photos with their cameras so that they can capture beautiful, heirloom photos of their family and friends and become their own family photographer.
I'm a mom to four beautiful, busy little boys. Baking, home renovation shows, hiking, and camping with my family fuel my soul.
I have built my own home-grown family photography business mainly by word-of mouth, serving hundreds of families over the last 7-8 years- and I love it! But my favorite family to take photos of is my own. I am here to empower others to finally dust off their cameras, invest in themselves, and learn to take gorgeous photos of their own families without guessing, stressing, and switching back to auto.

I have built my own home-grown family photography business almost entirely by word-of mouth, serving hundreds of families over the last 7-8 years- and I love it! But my favorite family to take photos of is my own. I am here to empower others to finally dust off their cameras, invest in themselves, and learn to take gorgeous photos of their own families without guessing, stressing, and switching back to auto.
Why I created this:
I was looking at my wall of Christmas cards, smiling back at the cute pictures of all my friends and family. I felt extra warm-fuzzies looking at the photos that I was able to take for many of them, and the memories we were able to make together. I LOVE being able to take photos of my friends, clients, and extended family, but what I love most is taking pictures of my own family. Being able to update my phone wallpaper with beautiful, professional photos whenever I want to put together a little photo shoot. I felt a huge desire to be able to empower other parents, friends, or WHOEVER wanted to be able to do this for their own families. Empowered to learn their cameras. To feel confident in manual mode. Without years of trial and error. And without scouring YouTube and Google for all the answers to their photography woes. So here it is! And I can't wait to empower YOU to finally learn and love photography so it can bless your life and so many others.

Nope! All you will need is a DSLR or mirrorless camera and lens- no need to worry about brand or model. The lessons learned in this course are applicable across all camera levels. Note: The editing module is done via Adobe Lightroom Classic, which I highly recommend. I do provide an introduction to a free editing alternative as well.
I will fully explain certain terms that will be helpful when setting up your camera, but in simple, easy to remember ways. Working in manual mode does not need to be complicated or stressful. It was important to me when creating this course to demystify your camera to become another powerful tool in your arsenal of recording memories.
I don't have my own family, but would like to learn how to use my camera. Will this course still work for me?
Absolutely! While I geared this course toward individuals wanting to become their own family photographer, the framework I teach is useful regardless of your life situation or camera goals. If you are ready to step out of auto mode and learn how to take gorgeous, professional images with your camera consistently, this course is for you!
I can get info on how to shoot in manual mode on YouTube. Why would I invest in a course when I could get it for free?
- Learn from a legitimate professional photographer with 8 years of family photography experience
- Save yourself HOURS of searching and previewing and get ALL the content you need in one place, in order. This course builds on itself. We start with lighting principles that will be a GAME CHANGER to your photography. Moving into your camera settings, each element is taught in relationship with the next so that you can learn how your settings will practically set themselves once you learn the basics.
- Learn from another parent in the trenches of raising wonderful children- without the confusing technical jargon, charts and graphs. I use illustrations and images to help teach manual mode in ways that are applicable and understandable in everyday life.
- Tried and true processes. I’m teaching you the exact way I use my camera to capture timeless, beautiful images of my own family and clients AND my lightning fast editing system so you are excited to put the finishing touches on your images instead of letting them die in your SD card for weeks or even months.
Is today too soon? I think not! You will see a substantial difference in your photography before we even jump into manual mode, through our Finding Light module. I put my heart into creating a course that whoever is willing to work through it and apply what they learn in each module, will see huge results almost immediately. Get ready to take your photography to the next level!
