I photograph destination weddings around the world but my heart and home are in Virginia. I spend my time educating over 40,000 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

Wow! Just wait until you see this one! It’s vibrant, romantic and full of just about everything that makes gorgeous photos! The colors, the couple the setting, the light. It was a dream day!
