Send us a textOn today's episode I speak with Kayleen Nyshell, a Chicago area-based photographer specializing in couples, engagements, weddings, and family portraits. If she's not out taking photos you can catch her grabbing a beer with friends, hanging out with family, or cuddled up on the couch with her two dogs and her husband. She got her first "real" camera in March of 2021, and her first second-shooting opportunity later that year. She already has 15 (!) of her own weddings and two elopements booked for this year. We discuss how she learned to use her camera and how she's marketed herself on social media, as well as how she gets clients so comfortable in front of her camera. Kayleen found Cassidy Lynne and Katelynn James on YouTube to be instrumental in mastering the fundamentals. She also gives a ton of credit to Kailee Rei of Kailee Rei Photography for taking a chance on her as a second shooter.
