Honestly, my lack of understanding of light has haunted me. I hadn't touched my camera in months, but after completing this course I have so much confidence and feel so inspired - I keep thinking "I wish I had my camera so I could shoot that light!" I can't wait to go back through it all and build on my skills - what I've learned here has and will continue to greatly change my photos!

— Steve

"This will change my photos!"

I too was SUPER motivated, but I couldn't seem to lift my photos (or biz) past meh.  I pulled all-nighters after my 9-5 absorbing all the free education I could get my hands on.  I photographed anyone and anything that would let me.  I scoured the earth (unsuccessfully) for someone to let me shadow them so I could learn the things I knew I was missing but couldn't seem to figure out on my own.  

You're trying all the things

I kept walking into shoots with my fingers crossed, hoping trial & error would help me find
*that missing something* in my photos.

Ohhhhh I know it well...

I found a guide who knew light.

After being ghosted and shot down by literally dozens of photographers, one FINALLY agreed to let me tag along to a wedding with him (we'll call him Mr. K, bless him!).  Now, Mr. K is not only a lighting genius, it just so happens, he's also a person who can't help but teach
*Cue the angels*

With his guidance I began to UNDERSTAND LIGHT.  I figured out how to control it and use it to create the shots I was after.  My photos started to look high-end.  My confidence shot through the roof.  I felt FREEDOM while shooting.  It became easier to connect with my clients.  I tripled my bookings and raised my prices twice over the next year.  

My photos transformed.
my business transformed.

Here's when things started to change...

"I 3x'd my bookings and raised my prices twice in the year after I studied lighting..."

Being a pro or knowing how to use all of your camera's settings

Knowing the jargon or having a bunch of technical knowledge

Owning the newest or best camera and gear

Spending a year in school or dropping thousands on workshops

Years of guesswork and "putting in your dues"

A bunch of paying clients or a job in photography

You can learn to use light to create high-end photos without...

Someone whose been there to lead you right to and through what you *actually* need to build your confidence with lighting and start taking more unique, recognizeable, higher price tag photos ASAP.  

Skill with light is a crucial building block to creating photos that move - a portfolio you love - a business that provides for the life you want to live.  You need targeted help to understand light, because...

Like me, you need
an experienced 
guide.  

You're in the right place.

When you understand light, there'll be breakthrough in more than your photos.

I'm Kelsie, and when I understood light, I knew
I could shoot anything

THIS was my first breakthrough in my business, and the ripple was big.  Newfound confidence in hand I've steadily worked these past 17 years to build a business that's provided more than I could've imagined.  The honor of being trusted with people's most sacred moments & mentoring others along the way.  Work that I'm proud of and actually provides for the life I love. Connections with really wonderful people.  The flexibility & freedom to travel, stay home with my babies, and now, to be at all of the kid activities. 

hey there!

I needed help to get past my roadblock

After being ghosted and shot down by literally dozens of photographers, one FINALLY agreed to let me tag along to a wedding with him (we'll call him Mr. K, bless him!).  Now, Mr. K is not only a lighting genius, it just so happens, he's also a person who can't help but teach

your photos transform.
your business transforms.

but it wasn't
always this way.

This lighting course is a little different because...

I'll keep it digestible & PRACTICAL, giving you what you *actually* need

Yep, lighting in photography can get reaaaaalllll technical, and quite honestly, unnecessarily overwhelming.  I've broken lessons into do-able bits that will equip you with exactly what you need to get started right where you're at now, at any skill level, using any equipment.   This is what makes lighting a fantastic starting point - you can see massive growth in your work right away and lay a crucial building block that will snowball the impact of other skills you'll collect along the way!

Did you finally learn to shoot manually or upgrade  your equipment?  Awesome - you'll have lifetime access to the course, so you can come back at any time and work through lessons through the lens of your new skills or work on techniques you may have skipped the first time around.  

I'LL HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN UNIQUE STYLE, NOT A COOKIE-CUTTER OF MINE

I've seen it a lot.  Like a lot a lot.  New photographers popping up with an eerily similar look to ________ with a prominent photography workshop or course. I've built-in work & challenges designed to help you hone in on what you love - what stops you in your scroll and makes you feel something.  When you're creating work that makes you tick, you ATTRACT more of the work that makes you tick.  Trust me - after 2 decades of creative work  I know how critical it is to be creating work you actually like. 

Throughout the course of your lessons and challenges you'll solidify your own creative preferences and learn how to let them start influencing all of your lighting decisions and ensure you're building a portfolio AND a business that you love.

Who exactly is Fear NO Light for?

This course if for anyone who wants to use light more confidently to take better photos.  Whether just for fun, to help you earn a living, to document your kids in a more beautiful way, or to have higher-quality photos for your small biz, this course will give you a skill to carry into all walks of life.

You might be wondering...

I don't have a good camera - will this still work for me?

You can grow confidence with light using any equipment! We have students learning on lower end cameras, very old DSLR's and even smart phones!

What if I don't know how to use all of my camera settings yet?

This is why lighting is an awesome building block - it’s a skill you can build before you know all there is to know about controlling your camera. And understanding how to control light will have a significant snowball effect with other skills you learn along the way.

I've been a photographer for a long time - am I too advanced for this?

You might be.  You might not.  A good gauge would be to ask yourself “Am I really proud of the work I’m putting out? Do I feel confident choosing locations & timing for shoots? Can I easily change gears when my light is not what I planned for? Do I have to do a lot of editing to fix what I’ve done during a shoot? Is shooting currently more fun or more anxiety producing?” If most of these questions make you 🥴, you might have a lot to gain from the course.

Will I get 1:1 access to Kelsie?

While you won’t have 1:1 calls or meetings with me, you will be able to post your questions within each lesson, and I will regularly pop in to answer these and make sure you have what you need to keep moving!

Kelsie, my head is currently 1 part hair, 3 parts dry-shampoo.  Will I have time for this??

Ahhhh...this was all of 2013 for me 🖐️.  I’ve broken lessons into easily digestible blocks. You could realistically complete the course within a couple of days if you’re ambitious. Or you could take it one small step a day and finish up within a few weeks. You’re in control of the pace and have lifetime access, so take it whatever speed will allow you to actually cross the finish line.

A LITTLE Q&A

What happens after I purchase the Fear NO Light course?

After your purchase, you’ll officially be welcomed inside the course with an email in your inbox. You'll get immediate access to our course platform, Kajabi, to begin the first module. Watch each lesson, take notes, complete your photo challenges, watch the bonus flash module, download your checklist, cheat sheet & canva templates. Take it all at your own pace and revisit lessons at any time - the course is yours to enjoy!
