We’re back!! Bringing back this podcast is what I was looking forward to the most this summer. I’m so excited to connect with you again, thank you for your comments and likes because that helps me to be in-tune with where YOU are and what YOU need. So scroll down at the bottom of the page and leave a review about what you think about the podcast or the episode! For this first episode, I want to ta...

I LOVE SUMMMMMERR! And for that reason. I condense my summer work hours as MUCH as possible. I spent a lot of summers working a nights and weekend job which meant I missed out or came late to A LOT of family stuff. I dont want to do that anymore. I work REALLY hard a few days a week, so I can play play play the rest of the week. I want to be able to say yes to spontaneous playdates, sunny days at...

Lauren was THE FIRST person to apply to the #kmm, ALIGN, coaching program - like before I even launched it. She messaged me asking for some one-on-one time and it just happened to be around the time I was getting ready to launch my coaching program. That just shows how in-sync we are! And gaining that confidence is really what we focused on throughout our weeks together, because sometimes you may...

Amanda is owner of a product-based AND service-based business! She owns Amanda Clark Photography in Southern Utah and Cold Strike, an brand new outdoor apparel business. We've always been friends but in January she became one of my coaching girls! I LOVE coaching because it is more like guiding — not directing. When we first started coaching sessions, she was burnt out and even felt like it was ti...

You all know I am an enneagram one. If you’ve stuck around here long enough, you know my weird enneagram quirks. I am a chronic picker-upper and tireless cleaner. I might just be one of the very few people out there who puts the window cleaners, the carpet guys, the car washes and the professional deep cleaners on their stories. Having a clean house is very very important to me but I don’t do it b...

A lot of people think they’ll get all their business just from Instagram and that’s how they’ll grow. That more followers and saved posts will make them successful. We get stuck in Instagram, just wanting to get to 10k and wanting to go “viral.". Yeah, you may get followers on the platform, but are any of them paying clients? Guys. You can't just rely on social media to grow. You have to remember...

A lot of people in our lives, especially those closest to us, want things for free or at a discounted price. They just don’t value us like those stranger clients we usually book. We must figure out how to set boundaries so we don’t get walked over by the people closest in our life. I realized a while ago that I don’t have to people-please to be successful. I don’t have to serve everyone - from the...

I’m learning that a lot of people struggle with how to be themselves on Instagram. How to be their authentic-selves and how to attract clients. You right now may be feeling like you’re not interesting enough, not bubbly enough or that your page isn’t funny enough. Because so and so’s page is so interesting and attracting tons of new followers but you’re just “boring.” When you compare yourself to...

kyleeannphotography.com/links To that one person who asked me what my go-to apps are for my business, I’m sorry. Because you probably didn’t realize what a loaded question that was! I love love love being efficient and anything that allows me to streamline my workflow! So I may be a little too excited about today’s episode, but I sat down and identified 14 apps and programs that I just can’t live...

You are a business owner first. Unfortunately, you will have to deal with problem clients or unhappy customers at some point in your business. Sometimes the problem is their insecurities. Sometimes the problem is miscommunication. Sometimes the problem is just a freak accident. Regardless, there are simple ways to handle problem clients without letting it escalate further. How to deal with hard cl...

We are back after a crazy week! My sister had her baby, I hired two new members for the team - a nanny and a photographer - I was training, babysitting and updating websites and it was all crazy. We are a little late this week, but better late than never. Especially for what we have planned today. I feel like we’ve talked about the many struggles of the mom life/work life balance - like the mom gu...

Morning routines are crucial, it's something that has been a longtime coming for me and I finally feel confident enough to share my journey. There is power in a morning routine and I learned this from the book Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It goes through six different areas that are key to building an effective morning routine. 1. Silence - meditation or prayer, reflection 2. Affirmations - think...

A few weeks ago I was looking through my DMs and realized that I’ve been getting too many messages from photographers saying “yeah, what you’re doing works for you but not for me, because you’re well-known and I’m not….yeah, I hear you saying there’s plenty work out there for photographers, but that’s just for successful people like you and what about nobody’s like me.” What I’ve been hearing in m...

I am all about marketing organically. It doesn’t cost you money (it just costs time), it lets you focus on connections rather than the numbers and I find that it gives me more joy in running my business. I’ve done a few episodes on marketing and on growing organically on Instagram, but today’s episode is all about marketing on a budget. I’m going to share with you the best way to market during a s...

In the beginning of my business, I was looking at everyone around me and what they were doing in their own businesses (we've all been there). I was constantly changing my edits, my lenses, my marketing techniques, my style, my posts - all of it, to what everyone else was doing. My whole business strategy was just to do what other people were doing. And you know what? I just found myself fixating o...

“I’m feeling unmotivated.” “I’m feeling discouraged.” “I’m doing the same old thing and I’m bored of it.” We’ve all been there before, and It's okay to be there. It’s okay to be in a rut. I have been in business for 10 years and I find myself in a rut almost every month! We let the expectations of others, and ourselves, drive us further down an unmotivated hole. A lot of us here are women, and us...

I have had A TON of questions about bookkeeping, finances, tax prep, etc. so I talked with Katie Maher of Rocket Books to dive into all these topics and help answer some questions. Katie spent the first seven years of her career working behind a desk as an in-house bookkeeper for more than 30 different companies, clients, and investors. When she found that her joy revolved around helping her small...

WHEEEW. Things got CRAZY there for a lot of us last year. Between coming back (kinda) from the pandemic, fall, the holidays, etc…it was BUSY! Things typically slow down for a lot of businesses after the holidays. Which is what I DREAM of when I’m in the grind. But now I find myself wondering: "Now what?" What do you do when you have NOTHING to do? Maybe your job is seasonal. Maybe you are just get...

Money money money. Let’s talk about money. For some reason it’s a hard and uncomfortable topic. For a lot of people, its a source of stress and fear. It can be limiting. But what if we look at it as a tool we can use to solve problems and live abundantly. A lot of people think women especially moms can’t make money with a side hustle or a small business. I'm here to say the exact opposite because...

Now that we have set our intentions for the year, let's talk about habits. First of all, we are only going to start with ONE habit at a time!! Let’s choose a habit that matches your intention for the year so we can start with a strong desire for change. -If your intention is to be grateful, the habit could be write in your gratitude journal daily. -If your intention is to be more present, the habi...

New year, new me right? Learn Spanish. Cook dinner every night. Lose 10 pounds. Get ready everyday. Travel around the world. Did you know 4/5 people break their new years resolutions? And a third of resolutions don’t even make it past the first month? I have been setting resolutions since I was a teenager. Last year I DITCHED resolutions. Because resolutions focus on the outcome, not the journey....

It's the most wonderful time of the year but it's also the most stressful time of the year, especially for moms. We have a lot on our plates and carry a lot of the load around holidays. Moms are kind of like the glue that holds everything together. If you think about it, we do a lot of the shopping, planning, prepping, decorations, traditions, activities, wrapping, hosting, baking and neighbor gif...

Last week I was asked how us moms can have me-time without feeling guilty or without our husbands feeling resentment. I think this is a common thing a lot of moms struggle with, even though self-care is essential, we still feel like we’re being selfish and taking away from our kids and our husbands. So in this week’s podcast, I turned to my twin sister Lauren Pace...a busy mom of two (soon to be t...

Its Thanksgiving week and there's a lot of gratitude talk in the air, which is why I'm talking about one of my favorite topics. Having a positive and grateful attitude has SO MANY benefits, you're kinder, more resilient, more relaxed, more social, more optimistic and have better relationships. We really should get into the habit of being grateful year-round. For years I have kept a gratitude journ...

Think of an Instagram account you’ve been following for at least six months...Now why do you think it deserves your follow? Why haven’t you hit the “unfollow” button? Probably because you feel connected in some way. I do not get why the paragraph of hashtags at the end of each post, all the ads and the follow-unfollow game is so popular right now! Why do we think that will grow our Instagram? It i...
