As the Founder, Lead Photographer, and Studio Manager of Déjà Revél, I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of continued education, mentorship, and growth.

Whether you're starting fresh, aspiring to elevate your existing boudoir brand, or you’re committed to providing your clients with a kicka** experience, you’re guaranteed to go further under the guidance of the right Mentor.

Ready to take your Boudoir business to the next level?

- Kara

A common misconception is that people only work with a Coach or Mentor when they're struggling or their business is failing. But the truth is, seeking mentorship is one of the best investments you can make as an Entrepreneur, even if your business is already booming. 

Some of the most notable growth experiences I’ve seen in my business over the years came from working with other talented Mentors and Coaches. Their expertise and extra set of eyes have not only shaped me as an artist but also contributed to the core identity of Déjà Revél

And despite launching a photography business at the peak of a global pandemic, my business has never been in trouble and in fact, has consistently earned 6-figures since opening. It all boils down to perseverance and investing in my business.

INVEST IN YOUR SUCCESS

Take it from me, having another set of eyes on your business and your craft is invaluable to your growth and success by adding an ally to your team that allows you to see things from another perspective; to follow in the footsteps of someone who has been there before, while getting to your desired outcome faster; unlocking the unseen potential of your boudoir brand. I saw my business more than double it's revenue in the first year of investing in a mentor!

It's no surprise, running a successful boudoir studio isn't solely about mastering the art of photography, there's a lot of time and energy that is invested behind the scenes that goes far beyond what you see online and on our socials. From marketing to answering emails, managing bookings, and maintaining an online presence, to quarterly taxes, time management, and client contracts, it’s more than what meets the eye.

I invite you to step into my space; a space of authentic and purposeful Boudoir Mentorship. I'm not here to critique your business or style, or tell you what you’re doing “wrong." There is no 'one right way' to run a business. But I am here to empower you with all the secrets of operating a successful business, on your terms, and through mentorship, it's possible to find success in your own, authentic way.

By having Kara as a mentor, you will always have someone in your corner cheering you on. She wants you to succeed and will be there to support you, anyway she can.

She’s a mentor that allows a safe space to learn and ask questions. Her one-on-one sessions have been such a turning point within my own business. They provide a designated time to sit down and write out goals you have for your business and the experience you want to create for your ideal clients. She understands how important it is to have resources within this community and does her best to provide the support needed. She gives you feedback that can truly benefit your business. If you take the initiative to fully put the knowledge and skills you have learned back into your business, there is know doubt that you will see growth and improvement.

I truly want to see you succeed. As a multi-six figure Boudoir photographer, business owner, and multi-studio manager, I truly believe the power of a successful and flourishing brand is found in hands-on experience coupled with continued learning.

I have a passion for not only providing an experience for my clients where they are heard, seen, and appreciated, but I also have that same passion for helping other boudoir business owners feel the same. Education coupled with hands-on learning...you're destined to go far.

My creds include:

GREAT question, & I’m so glad you asked! 

Why should you trust me to elevate your Boudoir brand?

the now-how to make it happen. Goals and plans are one thing, but as a manifesting-generator, I know HOW to put plans into action and make them work!

a solid understanding of business principles, including marketing, pricing strategies, client management, branding, and so much more

I’m 6X Best of Boudoir winner, CEO and lead photographer at Déjà Revél. I help my boudoir clients bridge the gap between their outward facing self, and the version of themselves they keep tucked away. I meet my clients where they are in their personal journeys and make their visions come to life. Through boudoir, I help women feel more like themselves than they have possibly their entire lives! 

As a mentor and coach, my ultimate goal is to have you feeling head-over-heels in love with your business. We've been told we have to do this a certain way, and market this way, and advertise to these particular people, and truly...it's a bunch of crap. What works for one person, may not work for another, and that's totally okay! Together, I want to come up with a plan that works for YOU and your business. I want you really diving deep into what you offer to your clients, but also what lights you up as well!
