This is the most exciting KNP post I have ever written.
It is time for you to meet the newest members of Katie Norrid Photography. This process started almost a year ago to date. I had a one-on-one mentor session with one of these ladies and right then and there I knew it was time to expand from a one woman show and grow a team. I knew that it was something that was going to take a lot of planning and praying and so I started working on a timeline. My shooting schedule is jam-packed year round but I do have a slower time in January and February and that was my goal… to have a team in place at the beginning of 2019. Well when I say team, I was thinking 1-2 people, but as you can see from the picture above I have grown from one to FIVE!
The interview process was not swift, but I am so thankful for that because God revealed things throughout that time that lead me to these four wonderful women. They are each unique and bring something special to the team but they are all passionate, hard-working and ready to learn and grow. I am so thankful to have them alongside me to grow this brand into more than I ever imagined. This business is such a testament to the LORD working in my life and this work that it just gives me chills sometimes. I am so excited for what is in store with this wonderful group and I’m so excited to see how these lovely people bless our clients with not only amazing work, but their contagious spirits!
So with out anymore delay I would like to introduce each one of them to you! First up is the amazingly talented and kind Anna Fly.
Anna was that one I mentioned earlier… the one that booked a One-On-One Mentor Session with me and sorta got this whole thing started in my head. She went on to shadow me at a few weddings and her work was so great that I hired her as a second photographer for weddings. We hit it off immediately and her talent speaks for itself. Anna will now be the WEDDING ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER for Katie Norrid Photography and will be available for booking immediately. I am so glad she said YES when I basically begged her to apply for the position!
Anna is a wonderful wife and mother to two adorable little girls. She has a successful photography business of her own and I am just BEYOND thrilled that she will be shooting weddings for KNP. She loves Taco Bell and has the best laugh around. You guys are going to LOVE her!
Next up we have the spunky, adorable Brittany Gamblin.
Brittany is joining us as THE KNP studio assistant, aka she is going to be running the show! She will be in the office with me running the day to day business and assisting me in post processing and client relations. I already feel a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders with just her presence. She is a planner, a doer, a get things done girl and she is going to be my right-hand gal.
Brittany is a momma to two fur-babies and she loves to vacation anywhere warm ( a girl after my own heart)! So you will find Brittany and I running things while alternating between Chick-fil-a and Huey’s runs and dreaming of the beach. Brittany is already working on a whole new system for our clients and I can’t wait to get that up and running for you all!
I would now like to introduce Mary Tisdal… I mean Mary Gran.
Sweet Mary was just wed at the end of December and guess who shot her wedding? Myself and Anna, boy was it dreamy! Mary is joining us as THE KNP Second Photographer for weddings and will also be shooting KNP Keepsake films with our Family Associate Photographer. She is crazy talented and full of amazing ideas. I love how her brain works and how she is always thinking of creative ways of doing things. She is going to keep us young and up to date with all things that are cool and hip too!
She is married to the sweetest guy and has some super cute pups as well (they made it into a few wedding pictures)! So be on the look out for this girl, I can not wait to see what she accomplishes this year and beyond. I am so glad she is a part of this team.
Last but not least we have the lovely Rachel Scoggin.
I am so happy that Rachel will be joining us as a FAMILY ASSOCIATE photographer. This is such great news as we will now be able to serve more clients and that makes me so very happy! It seems like I have known Rachel for years, but it was just a year ago that she took my workshop and then had the cutest baby boy a few weeks later and I have been able to photograph her gorgeous family this past year. Rachel has a successful photography business of her own that features modern black and white children’s portraits. She is absolutely killing it and you should book one of those session now, you will thank me later. Rachel will continue with her portraits but will be booking newborn and family sessions with KNP very soon.
Rachel is a wife and momma and has two beautiful little ladies and one handsome little fella. She is so wonderful with children and she is the perfect addition to our team. You all are in for a treat with her!
We will be updating the website soon with each of these ladies and we are so excited to serve you better in 2019! Now shoot us an email and book your weddings and family sessions NOW!
