KJ Business Journey Live Event

  • December 2019 - Main Street Station - Richmond, VA

Well if you had shown me this picture back in 2008 when I was nervously asking people to pay me $50 to take their college senior portraits, I would have passed out. How in the world did this happen? What started as a little dream then turned into a business powered by a blog that became very popular. Then that blog began serving two purposes… 1. I showcased my amazing clients and 2. I started educating for free… for YEARS. Not only did I share tips and knowledge but I shared my life. Fast forward to 2017 and I was certain that it was all over.

Jack + Haleigh | Engaged

  • Destination Engagement Portraits | Florida's Lake Louisa State Park

I feel like this all happened so fast! One minute I’m getting to hug these two in real life at our LIVE event that we hosted for our Business Collection students in December and the next, we’re booked to shoot their destination wedding and I’m hopping on a plane to Florida to take their engagement photos! How exciting! Jack and Haleigh are the sweetest couple that we connected with during our year-long Business Journey experience that we hosted for over 600 photographers! Haleigh was one of our students who didn’t just watch the course content but she dove in and gave it her all.

You are naturally talented… You can take beautiful images that leave people in awe……But you NEVER USE YOUR CAMERA in your everyday life. You NEVER take pictures with your family with your REAL camera. You say you want to, but it never happens!!! How frustrating!!
