Meet Katie, Founder of the Kreate Collective

I empower photographers to grow successful and sustainable businesses by offering valuable resources, tangible action plans, and a nurturing community.

Today, my business thrives off of a set of systems and workflows that have allowed me to scale, grow a team, start a family, and move into the commercial photography sector all while maintaining a robust multi-six-figure wedding photography business. 

Although I am feeling inspired and confident in my business right now, I’ve experienced my fair share of struggles along the way. I was on the grind for years before I truly achieved a sense of balance and could scale my business. 

I wish I’d had the guidance and education to have specific workflows in place sooner. After years of trial and error, I finally cracked the code and realized I didn't have to do it all ALONE.

My programs are created for photographers who are seeking a roadmap to systems + workflows that will fuel sustainable growth in their photography business. They are designed for individuals who want to reclaim work-life balance and thrive both personally and professionally.

Welcome to the beginning of a journey that results in feeling supported, inspired, and fearless. I’m passionate about this work and invested in your success. Let’s grow together.

A WINDOW INTO MY WORLD

PHOTOGRAPHER

2008 marked the beginning of my long and beautiful journey as a photographer. Cheers to 15 years! Kreate Photography (my baby) expanded in 2015 and I've had a skilled and talented team ever since. Teamwork makes the dream work :)

MENTOR

After I finally cracked the code and discovered the right formulas to running and growing a photography business without perpetual burnout, I began mentoring. I started this brand of my business in 2017. 

MOTHER + FAMILY GAL

I have a 2-year-old daughter that motivates me every. single. day. Nothing has been more motivating in my career than motherhood. Family first, always

YOUR NEW HYPE-GIRL

Nothing brings me more JOY than supporting other creative entrepreneurs on their journey. I believe in community over competition, there is enough to go around! I lift others up and cannot wait to learn more about you!

Working with Katie has transformed my business in so many ways from how I photograph and edit, to how I communicate with clients. The best part is that she genuinely cares about you as a person! I've never met someone so fully committed to her community + creative entrepreneurs. She has a way of making you feel supported and uplifted, while also guiding you in the right direction.

Katie has great knowledge and amazing resources. Not to mention she is kind and patient. I left each meeting feeling energized and positive. One thing that really helped is that she would follow up each meeting with a “to-do” list. This made make it all much more manageable and and helped me really stay on track!
