It's time to Learn, Grow, and Thrive as a Photographer

Hey there, I'm Kristine—a mom of three, former elementary school teacher, and a seasoned portrait photographer with over 12 years of snapping and storytelling. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, I’m here to guide you through every click and capture. My journey began just like yours, and over the years, I’ve turned my passion into a thriving business. Let’s tailor a mentoring session to fit your needs, combining your aspirations with my technical expertise.

When you sign up for mentorship with me, you get a 45-minute Zoom call where we focus entirely on what you need to grow your business. Think of it as personal coaching over coffee, just online! We’ll cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques—I’m an open book, ready to share all my tricks of the trade.
