Back in December, I got to travel to Virginia with my mom for something that basically made my entire year, the KJ Business Journey Live Event! Over the past year, I’ve been on a journey with about 500 other photographers to transform our businesses all led by Katelyn James. Each month, we received new educational videos that covered a different topic of business such as social media marketing, branding, etc. Not only did we receive videos, but we also had a Facebook group where we held live videos and just supported each others’ journeys and posts.
We have received so much content that I haven’t even finished it all yet. I’m not afraid to admit that either. Katelyn has helped me transform my business so much this last year. I feel so professional even at twenty years old. Not only do I feel professional, but I also feel free to be myself in my business. Katelyn not only teaches technical skills, but encourages us to embrace who we are as business owners and share our story. This year I’ve learned that I serve people best through photography. I believe that is the gift God has given me. Not only do I want to serve people with pictures, but I want to serve them with a smile on my face and give them an experience that they will remember and cherish forever. Acknowledging and trying to understand my purpose has been one of the biggest takeaways from this entire experience, and I am so thankful for that!
Here is a little recap of my trip!
We started out our first day by walking to the Capital, and then I forgot to take a picture of the capital. 
I then met up with some fellow “KJers” and had lunch at Maple and Pine in the Quirk Hotel. 
I LOVE this little whole in the wall bakery! 
We were shopping in Carytown, and I saw a spot where KJ had taken engagement pictures. So, I took a picture and didn’t go inside for a cupcake (oops). 
Another KJ engagement session spot on Monument Avenue. 
Ran into another KJ student who said I was on her list of people to meet! She made me feel so special!! 
I got to sit at TABLE ONE (perks of being from Alabama)! Everything seemed to go my way this day with the seating, and I won a giveaway! BEST DAY EVER 
BIG KJ FANGIRL in the front row!!! Not ashamed at all! 
Her face in these pictures made my entire day! 
Michael stopped me as we were leaving to talk to me. He took a moment to make me feel special, and that meant so much to me!! That just helps to show the character of these SWEET people! 
I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t already framed in my room.
