KJ EDUCATION

There is only one thing in our business that we love more than photographing weddings and that’s teaching others how to photograph weddings!

Being our own boss, creating this business from the ground up, and having the freedom to live the life we want is something that anyone can have, but few will actually make it happen for themselves. Our goal for KJ Education is to take our experience, our knowledge and passion for this job and share it with as many photographers as possible! Our hope is that through our online courses, webinars, templates, and free education, they too can experience the life-changing results of running a profitable business that they love!

WELCOME TO KJ 

How to transform your work from in-camera through the editing process.

WHAT YOu'll LEARN HERE

Confidence and credibility come from mastering light, knowing how to create a genuine & professional posing experience and from having an editing style that is all your own.... I have all the tools ready for you that will train you to do just that! 

How to build a community with your clients. 

Hate marketing? I do too. So that's why I don't do it anymore... at least not in the traditional sense. I can teach you how to raise prices, keep clients raving about you and build a loyal community that will being profit and purpose to your brand for years to come. 

How to find purpose in your passion.

We don't have a creative gift for photography just to deliver galleries and call it a day. Every shoot, every client and every experience provides an opportunity to live into the legacy you were created for!  I love empowering photographers to combine their passion and their purpose together through their business! 

Develop your style, edit confidently

The KJ Preset Process

If you’re ready for a simple, 4-step educational preset process that will make Lightroom seem like a friend instead of a constant frustration, this was created just for you!

I will always continue to educate myself with Katelyn because she will always be my inspiration to grow!

 What if brides planned their day around their photography?

I wanted to send something pretty AND educational to my brides immediately after they booked with me! I wanted them to immediately see the value of what they invested in and so I started designing a Bridal Guide for my brides! I designed this for my BRIDES…but little did I know that this project would be SAVING ME TIME! This 90+ page Bridal Guide Template (Indesign format only) is full of so much bridal education that my brides don’t send me lengthy emails with wedding day questions anymore!! We hit a GOLD MINE with this magazine and we have decided to not only allow other photographers to have access to the DESIGN, but also to ALL OF OUR CONTENT!
