Listen in to this one-on-one coaching episode where Elizabeth and Katie discuss the challenges of owning a photography business, the impact it can have on your personal life, and how to work towards the work life balance you dream of. Elizabeth challenges Katie to implement practices in her business that would most benefit her so she can spend more time focusing on the things that matter most to her. They discuss the importance of mindset work and how a consistent practice can shift her entire business by discovering subconscious beliefs that could be holding her back. 

 

Some important questions that came up include:
Are you crafting a story in your life outside of work? 
Are you tracking your time so you have an idea of how much you are actually making?
Are you giving your family as much attention as your business? 
Are you working in your zone of genius? 
Are you making mindset work a priority?

 

About Katie:

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer....I am a lover of people and stories. I always been in awe of the natural beauty of people - and sharing their stories to the world. I was always into film and photography since high school. I was always creative and had "my head in the clouds," as my parents would say....I always like to dream big and ideas - I went to film school in 2006 and then continue my studies to tie in my sports and media background. When I went to Brock for Sports Management. I worked in athletics for BrockTV creating and producing expose segments on our athletes. It wasn't until then I developed a stronger passion for telling and sharing stories in a linear fashion i.e., video but, that is also when I began to take stills and wanted to further developed my knowledge more - I fell in love with sports photography and capturing the grit and glory of the moment. When I graduated I started my business in helping athletes get recognized for their talent producing recruitment videos to hoping to get sponsorship. Then I transition into capturing stills - and then my wedding photographer Destiny loved how I captured action/in the moment stills, and she began my mentor and friend took me under her wing to show me the wedding world. I second shot for her and learned the ropes and slowly I started to book my own weddings. From there (4 years later)... I feel in love with weddings and families and the story is history hahahah!
