I photograph destination weddings around the world but my heart and home are in Virginia. I spend my time educating over 30,000 online photography students in our KJ Community through transformational online courses & industry-leading behind the scenes membership program, KJ All Access!

Any photographer can build a  profitable AND purposeful business.

I'M AN EDUCATOR, PHOTOGRAPHER, & MOMMA WHO BELIEVES

This is one of those sessions that will go down as a classic. It doesn’t get more beautiful than an early fall, downtown Annapolis engagement session with gorgeous light!
