cool things happening with KJP these days!! The #1 thing would be the fact that I’m getting to meet so many amazing people and not only do I get to be their friends, I have the chance to help them grow and expand their businesses! So, some photographers are purely ARTSY… and the business side of their work drives them insane…. almost to the point of burnt out if they don’t get help! Then there are photographers like me that actually ENJOY the business side in some weird way!! It’s strange right?! Well there has to be a happy medium. You HAVE to be creative and push yourself artistically but in order to grow a business
you have to be a motivated entrepreneur that has a desire to move forward. Being a business woman is fun to me. I think it’s ridiculously awesome that I can pay my bills by doing something that I love! Sure, it’s tough and I work long hours sometimes, but I love my job. So what could make my job BETTER?! …. Helping others love their job. Some photographers are about to throw in the towel because the “business” side is just too much to handle… or maybe they are organized but they don’t know how to market and they are slowly dying….or maybe they have the potential to grow and reach thousands but they can’t seem to understand LIGHT in a way that helps them determine THEIR style and they’re STUCK!
Coaching sessions allow me to HELP these photographers and business owners. I get to sit down with new friends, one -on- one and just listen and give feed back. Eventually, we start writing down goals and the goals can range from “Buying a backup body” to “meet with a designer and revamp your look”. Helping other photographers feel empowered and equipped for the next step of growth in their business is an awesome privilege… and I’m pumped because I’m offering a whole slue of new COACHING DATES!!! That’s right! We have coaching dates available from December 2012 to April 2013 and you can save your seat today by clicking HERE!!
If you want more information, you can actually checkout my new “For Photographers” branch of my website!! I’m kinda excited about it… and the fact that I made it a little over an hour is amazing! Woopwoop! That’s Showit for you!! Here’s a peak of the new addition and you can check it out for real at www.forphotographers.katelynjames.com

Coaching Checkups
.
Something else that we have decided to offer is full service coaching. Basically, if you were to pay for coaching services in other arenas like sports or a life coach, it wouldn’t be a one day thing. Your coach would keep up with you, meet with you constantly and monitor progress along the way. While I wish I could meet with ALL of my coaching photographers every month, that’s just impossible! However, we are opening up 10 “Checkup sessions” for past coaching clients. We are limiting them to 10 to ensure that I have ample time to give to each photographer. These “Checkups” will be two hours of evaluating what has been done, planning what is left to do and making goals to continue to move forward. There are no specific dates assigned to these checkups, however you MUST be a former coaching client to signup. If you’re a coaching client that is interested in continuing your coaching with a checkup, you can signup HERE!
And lastly, hear from a few past coaching clients about what they thought!! :
Thanks for reading!

Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!
This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!
This session is beautiful… if I do say so myself! It’s colorful, it’s vibrant, it’s full of joy and it’s also LONG! It’s a lengthy post because I just had so many favorites and I absolutely loved my time with these two last week! Paige, like a lot of our brides, is a photographer herself! She’s talented, full of life, energetic and creative. I felt the pressure to take this location that she knows well and make it look fresh and knew to her!! Nikhil is an audio engineer for Apple (which we think is fascinating!) and despite hardly ever wearing a suit, he wore one for Paige and made all of her outfit dreams come true!
