Her favorite moment with her portrait clients is when they see their tangible artwork for the first time. They always hold their folio boxes close to the chest and their artwork they cannot help but stand back in awe. It truly is the moment they see themselves as the person they’ve always been meant to be.That transformation wouldn't be possible without her diligent pursuit of Mastery through continued education and the love of her craft as a Portrait Photographer.

FAQ about 1:1 Calls with Cat
-
Because you’re here and because you already know it isn’t working as well as it could be. You aren’t serving the customers you dream of. You aren’t making the money you dream of, and you need help getting there. Thats OKAY! We’ve all needed guidance and that is what I am here to do.
-
Nope. These calls are for portrait photographers who need perspective and guidance to grow their income in a sustainable way. We’ll chat about where you are: circumstances, process, etc and discuss next steps. If I feel that one of my programs would be a good fit for you, I’ll invite you to be a part of it/them and if I don’t you’ll at least walk away with actionable next steps you can implement into your day to move the needle and resources that could benefit you as well.
-
Because I book an hour for each call out of my day (free of charge) and when someone cancels or no shows it impacts my ability to serve the people who really need me. I book my time and expect anyone who confirms a calll here to do the same. We’re grown ups, surely that is enough of a reason to stay in integrity with your commitment.
