Hi there! i’m katelyn.

Hello, and welcome to the KJ Blog! I'm Katelyn James, and my husband Michael and I are a wedding photography team based in Richmond, Virginia. We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life!  Read more...

Everly’s Eighth Month

This is the first month where I have seriously considered not doing a monthly Evy post. It’s our busiest month. We’re creating and releasing a new course, we’re shooting weddings EVERY weekend, Evy is teething and had a cold, we’ve had 5 engagement sessions, and we’re finishing our basement and turning it into an apartment. Wow. It’s a lot! In between editing video files, creating a massive workbook, preparing for a webinar, editing wedding blog posts and engagement galleries, I made some time to do something that brings me joy personally, and that’s organizing images of Evy’s life!

Derek + Kerri

Kerri came all the way down to Virginia for a coaching session with me years and years ago. When I first met Kerri, her joy and giddy nature was evident and I thought maybe she was just excited to finally be at her session!! Well, an hour later, when most people’s initial joy and excitement would die down a bit, Kerri was still all smiles and energy. It was then that I realized how special she was. Kerri has a joy and a perspective on life that is so different from the rest of the world. It’s like she sees everything through a different lens and it’s amazing!

Christian + Rachel | Engaged

She has been following my work and my business on social media since she was in high school! That fact alone makes me feel so honored and so old at the same time! It’s finally hitting me that I’ve been in business for almost a DECADE! It’s crazy!! One of the most rewarding parts of my job is getting to work with couples like Christian and Rachel. They care so much about their photography, and having Michael and I there to capture their day was one of their top priorities!
