What is
The Collective?


The Collective was created by me, Katie! And is a collaborative group of photographers who’ve come together to bring some fun, educational resources, mentorship and community to other photographers during these crazy pandemic times. I’m super passionate about wanting to give people some light when so many of us feel lost, discouraged, alone, scared and unsure of where to go in their businesses. The Collective is a space where people can feel some support, strength, growth, education and community without having to break the bank!

What is the Facebook community?

The Collective Facebook community is a Facebook group that is growing on the daily and dedicated to bringing you free resources, free education and answering any and all questions you might have about photography, business and beyond! Get in on the action here.

are You feeling…

  • scared, lost or discouraged on how to navigate your business?
  • uninspired and craving some creativity and inspiration?
  • lonely or isolated without a community to lean on?
  • exhausted from trying to book clients right now with little to no results?
  • like expanding your knowledge from the very best of the best, but aren’t wanting to break the bank either?
  • bored at home and want to access your business’s full potential with all of the extra time on your hands?
