welcome to dangerous creatives:
We're so happy you're here! Dangerous Creatives is a diverse group of photographers and creative business owners who value freedom in their lives, growing aligned businesses, up-leveling their work, and giving back to others. We believe in a way of doing business and creating art that helps creatives become the healthiest version of themselves, builds community, and changes culture. It’s fun, it’s messy, it’s real, it’s beautiful. Freedom and true abundance come when we grow into the fullest and truest version of ourselves through our art and businesses. It means being true to yourself, radically accepting, and curious. Whether that means taking a month off to spend time with your family, launching a course to help others in your industry, building in slow mornings to your work day, working remotely around the world while you homeschool your kids, or get published in the top magazines...let’s get there together!

When You Decide to..
We’ve seen your work, your business, the huge strides you’ve made over the last few years, and the magic you’ve created everywhere you’ve gone. But sometimes it doesn’t feel like that to us right? It’s hard to see what we are so close to. Maybe you’ve experienced all kinds of “success” but it still feels empty? Or maybe you hit certain goals and still feel stressed about money, future bookings, and where to go next?
We TOTALLY feel you. Business is not as clean cut as the movies and the marketing make it out to be. There’s many twists and turns and unmet expectations and also so many moments of pure bliss. And we’ve found that when we can bounce ideas, strategies, and “stuck” points off of our coaches, our friends, and our peers, we have so much more courage and strength to tackle whatever comes next.
For over 7 years, we’ve been cheerleaders for talented folks like you and this year we’re leaning in even more.
Dangerous Creatives was founded in 2019 (after years of coaching 1:1) as a way to connect other creatives, to offer holistic coaching and support within an inclusive environment, and to help creatives find more FLOW and less PUSHING in their creative businesses.

"I just booked my highest boudoir package, and then sold my highest wedding package. It was really satisfying to have two people back to back book my highest packages and send off everything and feel confident."

A Message from Kristin
You've already built a part time or full time creative business and are asking, "what's next?" You're excited to create and serve on a larger scale.
You love, serve, and celebrate your clients. You go above and beyond in every way, and your clients love you for it. You know you bring so much value to the table and want your prices and offers to accurately reflect what you do.
You're showing up, loving your family, taking care of your health, and growing your business. You’re a great parent, but often feel like you're taking care of everyone else and need someone in YOUR corner.
You tend to be hard on yourself and need people in your corner who can support and encourage YOU.
You've put in so many years of hard work and now you're ready to raise your position in the market, become more of a thought leader in your industry, create more space in your personal life for travel and family, and give back to the next generation of creatives in your industry.
You're excited to lean more fully into your values as you grow your business into this next season.
You've done so much of the hard work yourself.
Let's go!

"I was able to really build a network of people who were there to support my deep dive and cheer me on as I relearned my business from the inside-out."
"When I think about all the education & mentoring I've participated in over my past 17 years of business, they all have one thing in common: they're a mile wide and an inch deep. But with Kristin's mastermind, it was finally an opportunity to go deeper than an inch. It wasn't just a one-off weekend conference or a buy-it-and-forget-it program. It was a relationship - with Kristin, with the other mastermind members, and with my business. It gave me the chance to really dig deeper into who I am as a business owner in a way that felt intuitive and reflective. While in the mastermind, I was able to really build a network of people who were there to support my deep dive and cheer me on as I relearned my business from the inside-out. To feel so seen on that level is something that I will forever carry as my business continues to grow and succeed."

"Dangerous Creatives truly changed my life."
"The mastermind allowed me to reach goals I’d dreamed of, but never actually thought possible. My first 5 figure month ever was a $20k month while in coaching, and there have been multiple other 5 figure months since. The program was a holistic approach—we worked from the inside out, getting my head straight about worthiness and lingering doubts that were blocking me from getting to where I wanted to be. Then, we moved outward and built systems that would allow my business to grow with efficiency. The goal was always, first and foremost though, to build an authentic business—one that felt in alignment with who I truly am. Now, my dream clients are finding ME!? What!?"
