be profitable and find purpose in your business
to create the life you long for
LEARN HOW TO
As photographers, we tend to love our job behind the camera but cringe at the work we have to do behind the computer screen. From taxes to workflows to pricing and booking, the BUSINESS SIDE of our business can leave us feeling like frauds and can steal the joy and freedom that we desired from our businesses in the first place. If you're tired of drowning in the behind the scenes of your business, you can experience true change. You can thrive instead of just survive.... let me help you make the change!
stop just hoping for change
it's time to experience it!
"I get to spend time with my family and enjoy every moment!"
"I feel secure in my future. I’m still in college and pursuing a business degree... but sometimes I feel like I’ve already learned it all from Katelyn! You can't get this content anywhere else! My bookings and income have tripled, I look professional (even as a 20 year old!), and I redid my pricing and people have still been booking me with no questions because they want me and my experience... not just my pictures." -MADISON
"my bookings and income have tripled and I look professional"
"I left my job in May (where I had a steady paycheck and 1/2 price private school tuition for my 3 girls) because I was burning the candle at both ends trying to grow my business. Now I run my business during the day and get to spend time with my family in the evenings! My oldest is a senior and I want to enjoy every moment!"
-MICHELLE
since quitting her job, michelle has over tripled her bookings within one year, has regained new confidence in her role as business owner & is building a business that is thriving!
feel secure and confident in your future
quit your 9-to-5 and get family time back
"I feel like I'm not just a mom who takes nice pictures with her fancy camera. I feel like a legit business owner. I'm confident in knowing how to run my business and I know clearly the areas that still need work. I feel like it has given me a leg up on all the other mom photographers in my area because I KNOW I am running a legit business and that gives me confidence! It's no longer a hobby that pays me, it's a growing and thriving business that blessed my clients and my own family. " -LAURA
"it's no longer a hobby that pays me, it's a growing and thriving business"
no longer just a mom with a nice camera
is this really what you need right now?
SEE IF ANY OF THESE ARE TRUE FOR YOU:
you're constantly disappointed with your profit
you want a proven marketing system
you're horrible at business and just want to be a creative
feeling behind, overwhelmed, stressed or anxious
not booking, but your work is gorgeous
playing the social media game but not seeing results
want to build a brand that isn't a clone copy of someone else

too old? too young? too new?
Hear what KJ Business Collection Alumni would tell photographers who are considering becoming KJ students! These students vary in experience level, age, & style.
This family's life has changed in more ways than one! They're making more money, quit a full time job, finally broke the cycle of being a workaholic & took a month long vacation!
family longing for change?
These students are done feeling like frauds, done letting their businesses run their lives and done just hoping something will change and they are MAKING change happen!
confidence, new systems, new patterns, new life
hear from our students
don't just take our word for it
avoid burnout and the pains that come with it
Stop questioning everything about your business. Be confident in your abilities and have clarity about who you are as a professional photographer. The greatest battle is the battle of the mind. Unorganized and dysfunctional businesses make it extremely hard to believe in your abilities and your level of professionalism. When you establish effective business practices, you’ll begin to experience the JOY of running your own business instead of stress, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy.
have clarity and be taken seriously as a professional
Feel the relief and the comfort of knowing that everything in your business is done well and everything is done right. When your business is functioning well legally, you get the joy of working confidently & securely… never worrying that something will fall through the cracks.
Your business can be organized into efficient systems and that means minimal time behind your computer. You can create a business that works for you and gives you the freedom to truly stop work at 5pm. This is your chance to live the life every entrepreneur longs for…. no stress, systems that are sustainable, and freedom in your schedule.
Burnout happens when your passion fades and your energy is exhausted. When you have a business that is thriving, you won’t run the risk of losing your business to burnout because you’ll have the tools you need to feel in control. The best part about avoiding burnout in business is that you’ll save yourself the pain of hurting those around you. When you feel like you’re failing, it’s impossible for others not to feel the repercussion of that in your life. This is your chance to protect yourself from burnout and take hold of the reigns of your business instead of letting it rule over you!
eliminate stress and be present to live life
confidence in your business and how it can protect you
When your business makes more money, you can finally do the things you’ve always wanted to do through your business. Maybe you’re wanting to PAY DOWN DEBT…. maybe you’re wanting to GO FULL TIME… maybe you’re wanting to SURPRISE YOUR CHILDREN with an AMAZING TRIP! Maybe you’re wanting to stop living PAYCHECK to PAYCHECK… or maybe you are just simply ready for your business to be profitable so that you can have peace that you’re doing the right thing with your life!

risk free
Buyer’s remorse keeps you up at night? No worries! It’s done the same for me (hello, Target statement necklace section), and I don’t want that for you: enjoy my 30-day, risk-free happiness policy, because if you’re not happy, I’m not happy.
If you complete all 12 modules (35+ hours) of content within those 30 days, work through the worksheets/homework, and still feel like there’s no way you can apply these systems to your photography business, I’ll buy the collection back from you.
*If you have accessed the Contract Template, you are only eligible for an 80% refund*
that's what i needed to hear. now i'm in!
My No Fluff Policy:
NO CONTENT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL PURCHASES
I've been there. The "Fear of Fluff" is real and can cause hesitation when investing in online education! This is a fluff-free zone. I am committed to that because I've been burned by that myself in the past. You deserve quality content that changes your life and that is exactly what you will get!

YOUR QUesTIONS
ANSWERED...
The KJ Business Collection may be geared towards wedding photographers, but we have seen first-hand how this education has transformed portrait businesses! Smart business principles are far reaching and can be applied to many different types of businesses. Whether it’s marketing, social media, blogging, personal branding, building a tribe, etc…. ANYONE with a photography business will benefit and thrive off of this education.
Yes! However, it will not always be available at this price. Additionally, we will be closing the doors because we have limited enrollment periods each year.
This is great question! All educators are different. While I may share similar views and approaches to business as other successful photographers, I have a very different teaching style and I have different experiences to share. You’ll need to decide if the difference of my personality, my teaching style, my unique business experience and the creative structure of this new approach to business education is enough reason to invest. We realize that this resource is a large investment. This full year's worth of business training will be unlike anything you have experienced before in business education. If you’re ready to dive in, we’re excited to have you!
You'll get access immediately! And have access FOREVER, so you can pull up these videos and lessons whenever you need a boost or a refresher course. Watch at your own pace with one lesson a week … or binge-watch the entire collection over the weekend! I know you have family needs and other things to tend to, so I want to make sure you have access to these tools forever. Once you enroll, you'll get access the same day! Woo hoo!
ABSOLUTELY!!! Yes, it’s so much smarter to do all of this at the very beginning and set your business up for success well, instead of having to go back and change things a year or two in!
You will not need to download the video files in order to access them. You will simply be able to log in and view your videos online. However, you will need an adequate internet connection to allow the videos to load so you can watch them!
I have a super tight return policy -- but it’s only because I want to make sure I’m attracting dedicated, serious photographers. I have worked so hard to make this program serve you right where you are, but I certainly understand the fear in buying something you can’t fully experience before purchase--that would give me pause, too! As such, by purchasing, you’re agreeing to my 30-day guarantee: if you complete the entire 12 modules of the course and do all the work and aren’t satisfied, just show me your work, let me know why it wasn’t a great fit for you and I’m happy to buy the course back from you. If you have accessed the Contract Template, you are only eligible for an 80% refund*

It gave me CONFIDENCE in areas I didn't even realize I was lacking confidence in!
For example I didn't feel worthy of outsourcing editing, but when Katelyn spoke about OUTSOURCING I was literally in tears because she spoke directly to my heart.
Within a few days I had hired a private editor and that decision has given me so much more than I even imagined.
TAKE THE CONTROL BACK, SO I CONTROL MY BUSINESS INSTEAD OF MY BUSINESS CONTROLLING MY LIFE!
-LYNN
I have more time with my family and so much less stress because I have delegated tasks to reliable people."
"This course gave me the confidence to...
She didn't even bat an eye at my pricing!! And I have to be honest, there is no way I would have gotten this booking if it wasn't for KJ! Over the past year while taking this course I have implemented multiple concepts, ideas, strategies, etc. that Katelyn has been teaching
I STARTED OUT CHARGING LESS THAN $1000 FOR WEDDINGS.
-KRYSTAL
I have actually really only be going full force into weddings on my own for 2 years. However, this course has pushed and motivated me to charge what I feel I am worth!
I recently raised my prices to over $3k and I did just book an amazing and IDEAL bride at that price point!
& I believe the sole reason I got this booking is because of what I have learned!!"
I’ve gotten 19 leads between April-June compared to 3 this time last year!!!
I believe it’s because I’m being more helpful to my brides via my website, social media and my bride experience.
It has raised the bar and since I haven’t changed anything else I give credit to KJ's Business Collection!
This is the best value for the cost and the best thing I’ve purchase for my business in 10 years.
-JEN
Take one section at a time and work it into your business and youR confidence and revenue will soar!!
