A little bit about a mentorship session with me...
|
I started photography because I loved listening to stories and illustrating them with my camera. I've continued doing photography because of the relationships I've built, the knowledge I've gained, and because I love helping other creatives grow into the photographer and entrepreneur I know they can be. I love what I do because of the people. Doing photography has opened the door to so many amazing opportunities with photographers, clients, and other vendors all seeking a common goal of building lasting relationships. The thing about being a photographer is that we actually don't just “stand there and take photos.” In fact, I would go as far as to say that the session is only 20-30% of what we actually do! So, if you're stumped asking questions like: How is the remaining 60-70% of a photographer’s time spent? How can I better engage with my community? Or you’re just feeling if stuck; this mentorship’s for you. |
Mentorship Reviews:
"Kirsten is inspirational! I love her passion for continuously learning and creating, and her love of supporting and being part of her creative community is amazing. I had a photography mentorship session with her recently. She answered, in detail, the myriad of questions I threw at her prior to our meeting. She spent seemingly endless hours ensuring that I had all of the information I needed to take my own craft and business to the next level. I also was honored to have her photograph a boudoir session for me. I loved the entire experience and the final product was beautiful! I absolutely love her photography perspective and style, and her love of experimenting during the creative process. Thank you, Kirsten, for welcoming me with open arms into the local creative community."

"Kirsten just recently helped me learn how to use a camera I received for Christmas in 2020. I pretty much had no prior knowledge of photography and Kirsten has helped me out so much already with only one time of sitting down with her and explaining some settings and tricks. I've done some photoshoots with her and she's very patient in taking the time to explain things thoroughly when I ask her questions about her settings or how she does something! She's amazing at her job and is a wonderful teacher as well. If you're ever wondering about getting into photography, Kirsten is a great person to speak to about what you'll need to know! On top of that she posts tiktoks about beginner photography tips that are quite helpful, especially for me who's just starting out!"

"Our time together didn’t feel like a business meeting but rather time spent with an old friend. She was sweet enough to research the questions I had, and spend time typing out tips she uses to be successful to give to me. It was so nice to talk to a fellow photographer who wasn’t in competition with me. I think the most important point she made was “community over competition.” This simple statement made me realize how important having a community of creatives truly is and has inspired me to help other photographers just starting out. Kirsten is an incredibly talented photographer who will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and encouraged. I 100% recommend her mentorship/photography services!"
