THE JOURNAL OF A CONFIDENCE COACH & PHOTOGRAPHER
Unfiltered. Just like my photography.
Consider this my little corner of the internet where the filter comes off. I'm sharing the tips I wish someone had told me earlier, the stories that still make me laugh, the lessons that came the hard way, and everything in between. Whether you're a business owner trying to figure out how to show up online, or just someone who wants to stop dreading the camera, you're in the right place. Twenty-two years of experience, zero fluff. Welcome to my journal.
Why can’t I just say I did the thing?
Why can it feel so uncomfortable to talk about our own achievements? Katie reflects on self-promotion, visibility and learning to say what she has done without immediately deflecting.
You’re Seeing the Outcome, Not the Cost
If you told me five years ago I’d be out here taking my own branding photos… smiling… posing… and actually enjoying it? I would’ve laughed in your face. Respectfully. But aggressively. And yet—here we are. Turns out confidence wasn’t the issue…
I just needed a minute (or some practice) to get comfortable being seen.
A Year of Showing Up, Softly
Katie reflects on a year of slowing down, trusting her experience, and finding a gentler way to be visible—as a photographer, business owner, mother, and woman.
What I've Learned from Teaching Photography Tips
Over the past few years, I've transitioned from simply taking photos to teaching others how to feel confident in front of the camera. Sharing my knowledge has been a fulfilling, sometimes surprising journey, and it's taught me just as much as I've passed on to others.
