Would you like to finally run the photography business you've always dreamt of?
the business stuff is frustrating and makes you forget why you started in the first place
You want to stand out in your market but don't know how
you need to raise your prices but fear you'll lose your clients
You're just getting started and already feel overwhelmed
Does this sound familiar?
I can hear your from miles away.
And I get it.
Running a photography business can be stressful, overwhelming, and lonely.
but what if it didn't have to be?
"Yes"
I created The Grove to help photographers at all stages of business step into their purpose and power. After a decade of building and running a successful photography business, I knew I wanted to help photographers like you overcome all the business obstacles and marketing roadblocks I had to figure out on my own.
Whether you're about to launch your business or taking your business to the next level, The Grove provides tailored coaching, come-as-you-are community, and actionable education that will help you realize your photography business goals.

I'm a big fan of getting to know someone before you work with them. Your Discovery Call helps you get to know me and my coaching style and gives me an overview of your business and the best opportunities for growth.
Our call is a perfect opportunity for you to outline #allthethings that are stressing you out and sucking the joy from your creative happy place. After your call, I'll even follow up with a review of your business and what areas I think coaching with me makes the most sense.

Kara is patient, knowledgeable, and more importantly, she is willing to share everything she does and knows without any qualms. That is what I really love about working with her.
There’s a generosity in spirit that makes Kara a great teacher - she gives her time and knowledge so freely.

the open book club
The majority of photography businesses I see shutting down before they reach their potential have a few things in common - insufficient business knowledge, burnout, and lack of support.
When you join The Open Book Club, you get 12 weeks of actionable business advice to meet you where you are and carve a path forward for your business.

I was so overwhelmed by all the details and nuances of launching a business, but Kara made it so much easier with all her knowledge, kindness, patience, and expertise.
She's got a huge heart and definitely knows what she's doing. Her commitment to uplifting and empowering small businesses and artists is truly inspiring, and I'm so grateful to have her on my side.
