In this episode of I Am That Content Creator, we’re joined by portrait photographer and camera confidence mentor Katie Kaars. 

While Katie has photographed big names like Rose Byrne and Florence Welch, her true passion lies in helping everyday women feel confident and empowered on camera using just their phone, a little mindset work, and some seriously smart tips.

We dive into how to overcome the fear of showing up on camera, how to use your iPhone to take stunning content without fancy gear, and why connection always wins over perfection. 

If you’ve ever felt awkward taking selfies, hated how you look in photos, or avoided being the face of your brand, this conversation will give you the tools and confidence to finally be seen.
