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.
Confidence Doesn’t Always Feel Confident
We tend to think confidence should be visible. We expect it to look like certainty, ease, and a willingness to take up space.
Why Do I Feel So Awkward in Photos?
Why do so many people feel awkward in photos? Katie shares what 187 Confidence Club responses revealed about self-image, visibility and how camera confidence can be practised.
Feeling Ugly Is Not the Same as Being Ugly
I don't think people are lying when they tell me they feel ugly in photos. I believe them. That feeling is real. But feelings aren't always facts.
You Are Not Too Old To Be Seen
If you've started avoiding photos in your 40s, 50s or beyond, it doesn't mean you've lost your confidence. Discover why camera confidence can be learned and how to feel relaxed, natural and comfortable in front of the camera.
The photos we choose to forget.
When we hide photographs because we dislike how we looked, we can erase parts of our own history. Katie reflects on body image, memory and allowing every version of ourselves to be remembered.
