Photography Mentorship
Helping individuals taking their photography business from a part time passion, to a full time career
I transitioned to full time photography 3 years ago and it changed my life. If I can help people do the same then I’ve made it.
In under two years I transformed my part-time side hustle into a full time 6 figure business. While there isn’t a black and white formula to success, there are several steps that I took that will not only have you growing your business, but growing your income to allow you to pursue photography as a full time career.
I can help with a variety of technical camera and photography skills, editing support and recommendations (including photoshop), marketing and social media, customer service and workflow. I am so passionate about helping others have the success I’ve seen, lets do this!

“10/10 love Kristen. She is an amazing human and wonderful mentor. She is so knowledgeable, and supportive. Kristen is so well prepared, and has all the right tools to answer your questions. If you are thinking about a mentorship Kristen is your gal”
- Andie of Soiree Photography“I honestly can’t recommend Kristen from Forte Studios enough. I’m currently taking her full mentorship program, and it has been the best investment I’ve made in a long time — truly worth every single cent.
She goes above and beyond in everything she does. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also an amazing mentor — patient, kind, thoughtful, and so easy to learn from. She explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and you can feel how much she genuinely cares about your growth.
I’m not even sure what I would do without her guidance at this point. She has completely changed the way I see photography and business.
If you’re looking for a mentor in photography or business, Kristen is 100% your person. You won’t find anyone more dedicated, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success.”
