I'm Kim
G'day!
And I help portrait photographers build profitable, time-rich businesses
I'm here to help you go from broke, burnt out and overwhelmed ...
..to booked out, profitable & creating the time-freedom that you started this for in the first place.
and even if you already tried 'everything' else.
Even if you're brand new,
even if you're in a crowded market,
Hey, I’m Kim—portrait photographer turned business strategist, and your biggest cheerleader!
I took what started as a weekend hobby and turned it into a $500K portrait studio—while solo-parenting and raising a toddler.
At first? I was completely overwhelmed. Doing all the things, working late into the night, and wondering if it would ever actually work.
But when I got serious about systems, built a team, and simplified everything behind the scenes—I scaled my business, reduced my hours to just 5–10 a week, and eventually sold it in 2021.
Now, I help other heart-led photographers do the same: build a business that actually supports their life, fills their calendar with dream clients, and finally pays them what they’re worth.
Great to meet you!
When I first quit my job and decided to follow my dream of being a photographer - I had no idea how to run a business. I was just 'winging it' and 'hoping' that it all kinda fell into place. (Spoiler - it didn't).
As a single mama however - I knew I'd have to learn to become a business-woman if I was to provide for my son and avoid hitting the job trail.
I wanted to create a business that not only provided great income - but also a lot of time for my son and I too. (Because take it from me - burnout sucks! )
So that's what I did!
I became relentless in my pursuit of knowledge, and I learnt that when it came to having a profitable and sustainable business - that it was the business systems in the back end (rather than the photography on the front -end ) that made all the difference!
Best of all? When I was ready for a change in my career - I'd created a systemised, profitable asset that I could sell.
And it's these very same business systems that now help portrait photographers just like you to build their dream studios too!
From broke solo mama
to successful studio owner!
