From Momographer to Confidence & Connection with Colleen Katz
Starting as a "momographer" in 2009 simply because she wanted real imagery of her four children and uncovered a LOVE in the medium which she turned into a business the way many of us do; at $100 per session.
After practicing and learning posing, lighting, post production she has grown her business into a source of confidence with her repeat customers year after year capturing moments and milestones for families.
Colleen also contributes to a charity known as Kids In Focus where she mentors children within her community in photography. As a mentor she's discovered how she gets to share the love of photography to instill confidence in the youth of Arizona.
Colleen got involved with The KNOW Women through her local photography connections in the Phoenix area and stepped into a network of ambitious and collaborative female business leaders and is excited to continue growing the relationships there for a deeper impact within her community.

"I'm sure they will find their way back!" lol..Great Interview ladies!
Two of my favorite women. Can we just say Powerhouses ❤
Ohhhh hello, Dr Atoya!!!! 💋💋💋💋
2 of my favs!
TYSM!!!
Best wishes to that nice lady.
I was so excited when you taught me how to do the slow shutter drag, double exposure trick, at the Italy workshop! 🤩 I’ve been having so much fun with it! Thanks Cat! ❤
Love this episode! Pure, basic, yet impactful experience based advice/testimonial to what it takes to be successful in this business. Well done! To both of you.
Couldn't agree more! TYSM, Bassam!!
Excellent information; This podcast is well informed on how to be successful as a trader .Thank you very much 🥰
glad youre enjoying it but it has nothing to do with being a trader :-)
nice video
Epic!!!🎉
This is an extremely significant video.
glad it resonates!
The first time I said I wanted to be an artist was when I was in 8th grade, I was told I would never be able to make a living at it and have been chasing that piece of paper for validation in every area except what I actually want to do. 😂
Oooooh well, that can change! HMU and we can talk about what that actually looks like in ur world!
Wow really, Cline regains confidence by being overly critical?
Thank you for your comment! Actually, it’s quite the opposite. I discovered that being overly critical, whether towards myself or my clients, had a negative impact on the atmosphere and confidence during sessions. By embracing positivity and constructive feedback, I found that it not only uplifted the mood but also significantly boosted my clients’ confidence.
@@BexWoodPhoto Your right 🥰
