don't let someone else

We live in a world seemingly full of so-called influencers incessantly bombarding your inbox with the idea that success equals #hustleandgrind until you hit that "6-figure" mark. 

While yes, there are some photographers who are running 6-figure businesses...that is not the norm, and it should NOT be the ruler you use to measure your success.

and IF THERE’S ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE, IT’S THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SUCCESS.

Hi! I’m karen

I probably should never have gone to college...I ended up changing majors 8 times, finally landing in photography because I was burnt out and it was an easy pass.  But through the process, I discovered how much I loved photography and capturing special moments for people that can never be re-lived!  

When I started my *first* photography business in 2009, I had NO idea what I was doing. I was decent at photography, but my business skills were lacking...BIG TIME.  I ended up closing that business in the same year. 

But in 2015, after we had our second child, I lost my bookkeeping job and we almost lost our house.  Out of necessity, I started my photography business again, and God truly gave me the space and the energy to dig in deep and finally figure it out this time.

I had a lot of trial and error, but I got it down to a system, and within a few months, I figured out how to market my business effectively, and replace the bookkeeping income I was missing.

I've condensed it down to the most crucial parts so you can start implementing this TODAY, and start booking out your own photography business - no matter what niche you're in!

I'd LOVE it if you would join me! 
I'm rooting for you!

I’ve been a newborn + family photographer for 8 years

It’s intentionally different from anything you’ve seen before because I'm going to take you through the core elements of your business that actually matter.  I want to help you set those roots deep, so you can actually start seeing consistent, predictable growth.

Here's what a few of my students have been saying:

I'm so glad I was able to do this, it's helped hold me accountable and give me confidence in the marketing side of things.

Root + Bloom Marketing Lab is your ticket
to finally build momentum in your business.

You made me feel confident and proud of what I’ve built as a photographer! And you helped me feel like I can get out of a slump with my motivation/lack of capacity with photography and I cannot thank you enough for that!!

Ok, so I just finished rewriting my About page and I’m pretty darn proud of it. Thank you SO much for helping me today!!

I’m so thankful for this course because it gave me the confidence to grow my photography business and gave me insights into things that I never knew I needed to do to help grow my business. I would highly, highly recommend this course!

Root + Bloom Marketing Lab is here for you if you want to stop living in the "side hustle" world, and build a profitable career!

It’s not a program telling you to raise your prices to solve all your problems.  It’s a thorough approach, that takes into account the maturity of your business and helps you market your business from where you stand.

If you're ready for a truly successful photography career, then this is, hands down, the best laid out plan you can find to establish those deep roots in your business.

You have the skill, and you know you’re capable of being more than just a "hobbyist" - this is your chance to do something about it.  It's time to create your own opportunities and start putting these strategies into action... because if you don't, someone else will.  And if not now, then when?
