GETTING STARTED OR GROWING
Ashley Hebblethwaite
“Choosing to invest in myself and book a mentorship with KaS was a no brainer. KaS’ genuine desire to share her lived & learned experiences / knowledge on running a successful brand photography business was so valuable. I walked away with so many gems from our conversation. I would highly recommend KaS to anyone who needs a kind kick in the butt. It was eye opening and I am truly grateful for the gained confidence.”
Ariel Kuhn
“It was a breath of fresh air getting to connect with her. Not only is she generous with her knowledge, open about her experience, and more than willing to share what’s helped her grow, but she’s extremely approachable and easy to talk to.“
Mariya Illarionova
“First of all — thank you for all your insight and perspective. I appreciate you holding space and being an incredible thought partner and giving me some actionable advice in terms of better connecting with my target audience. It’s SO helpful having another mind to reflect ideas upon.”

Not your mother’s photographer mentorship…
Human-First Business
You — as an individual and an entrepreneur — are my top priority. This is the foundation of everything I do as a mentor. I’m always asking myself what I can do to serve you.
Don’t Beat Around The Bush
As a straight-shooter, our mentoring sessions will never be full of counterproductive cliches. Only sheer honesty, tenacity, and an abundance of kindness.
1:1 Styled Shoot
Audit your workflow with a live photoshoot — including the prep, shooting, styling, and editing. I’ll share in-action advice suited to your style. Nothing beats hands-on practice.

That One-Size-Fits-All Bit Never Sat Well With Me
And I’m not expecting it to be your thing either.
Let’s be clear. I’m no one’s coach, and I’m not here to lead masses of people. The education in this neck of the woods is individual — helping you identify what you need, teaching you the framework, and providing the tools to get to work.
Why I Mentor Others
Brand photography has always been my niche. I’ve been working with businesses and entrepreneurs from the get-go. And at every corner and stumble, my community has been there to pick me up and dust me off. I want to pay that forward.
If I can help you feel like you can tackle the world and serve your people well, I will. I want you to experience a reprieve from the online world that can feel so heavy. And then one day, I’ll be stoked to see you honorably leading others too.
03. Let The Growth Begin.
Our one-on-one session together will be focused on your needs as an entrepreneur. And you’ll get the lion’s share of industry knowledge from me, no BS and no-holds-barred. After that? Take the good stuff and go wild. The resulting confidence boost is on the house.
01. Well, Inquire If You’re Ready.
If you're anything like me, you’re probably chomping at the bit for what comes next. So I’ll tell you: reach out through this contact form. Hit me with your contact information and what you hope to accomplish during our one-on-one mentoring session. Then I’ll reply within 24-48 hours with availability and scheduling details.
02. Don’t Hold Back. Ask The Tough Questions.
Before our mentoring session, we’ll outline the most important questions you have about your business. From actual photography techniques to sustainable pricing and licensing issues, this list of questions and topics will set an intention for our session, encouraging a productive and connective conversation from the jump.
