1:1 mentoring

mentoring for photographers who want to stop being run by their business and start running it with purpose.

here's the deal:

I serve confidence like cake to fellow photographers. How?
With the right systems, client experience, and content.

I get it, you’re frustrated because your to-do list is a mile long, your client experience needs a little more icing (whipped icing, preferably!), and you have no clue where to begin when it comes to creating content…

That’s why I created a space for 1:1 mentoring with fellow photographers.

No more downloading freebies galore. No more comparing yourself to “that” girl. No more second-guessing every move you’re making in your biz. You're in the right place to feel supported and seen as a photographer.

Looking for a virtual mentor? Let's be friends!

PHOTOGRAPHERS come to me when they are burning out in their small businesses and ready to grow...

My past clients have achieved incredible results, such as...

• Restoring a healthy work and life balance (yep, you can stop working until 2am!)
• Implementing successful systems and workflows
• Crafting a client experience that’s unmatched
• Having a clear plan to create AND share content
• Expanding her knowledge and taking her business to the next level
• Feeling confident to rise up to the dreams and goals she set for herself 

Have you found yourself saying “I'm exhausted... How do I grow and have more work-life balance?"

From the moment you say “Please, help me work less and still earn more!” to sharing virtual cups of coffee from our home offices, I show you how to identify where you’re killing it in your business and where you’re not doing so hot. I show you how to implement systems and workflows all while crafting an unmatched client experience and creating on-brand content. That’s right, I help you dream of what you want your life and business to look like. Yes, friend, I dream big alongside you!



Having gone from being an overwhelmed business owner to actually OWNING my biz... Now, I’m finally in control of my schedule, and I know what it takes to build a business that still lets you live joyfully in your day-to-day.

“I had the pleasure of being one of Kara's mentoring students as a photographer looking to take the next step. From the beginning to the end, the process was informational, encouraging, and easy. Kara has a mind of gold when it comes to the business world, no matter what profession you are in. She can help pinpoint your weaknesses in your business and help you overcome those struggles. She encouraged me on the things I was doing well and pushed me to go even farther. During this program, she becomes your own personal cheerleader and coach all in one. If you are looking to expand your knowledge and take your business to the next step, or even if you need an extra push because you feel stuck where you are at now, Kara's photography program is the next best investment for your business!”

I get that you’ve probably never worked with mentor before and you’re not sure what to expect, I’ve worn that pair of shoes, too, friend.

1:1 mentoring (aka ASK ME ANYTHING support) is perfect for you if you’re looking for…

• 1:1 virtual mentoring sessions (or in-person if you’re a local photographer in Kankakee or Iroquois County)

• Mentoring thoughtfully designed to work with fellow photographers

• Encouragement to define (or rediscover) the why of your business

• Motivation to capitalize on what you’re doing well in your biz

• Identifying pain points AND solutions within your business

• A shift to make your business work for you because you're in business so that you can live your life, not the other way around!

• Permission to step into confidence as a female creative

• Community in the creative industry

“Creative friends, do not hesitate to reach out to Kara for your biz mentoring experience! I first contacted her a few months ago and was initially nervous because I didn't know which aspects of my business I wanted and needed assistance in the most. Kara helped me every step of the way and made my experience personal (and oh so helpful!) Having her encouragement and support in growing and improving my business was so empowering and gave me the confidence I needed to rise up to the dreams and goals I had set for myself. I'm so sad that my mentoring sessions are over, but I know that Kara will be there as my cheerleader for every next step of my business!! I can't wait to work with her again so soon!"
