Your business needs you to be an artist and an engineer.
Using foundational business principles and an accessible engineering approach, I help brand photographers and service providers turn passion-driven pursuits into a joyful business that is fulfilling as it is profitable.
Does this sound familiar?
You started your business looking to help others while pursuing something meaningful...
But after being duped by bad business advice and disappointed by unrealistic promises, you find yourself wondering, “Is there is anyone out there who can truly help?”
So today, I’d like to throw my name into the hat...
Hi friend, I'm Emily Kim!
And I believe your business needs you to be an artist and an engineer.
What do I mean by this?
It means, if you’re a brand photographer, stop believing you’re “right-brained” or “left-brained”. It’s limiting you, making you feel stuck, and certainly not helping your wallet.
You need to use your right-creative-brain and left-engineering-brain to set your business up for profitability.
Because if you’ve believe passion alone is all it takes to build a thriving business, you have been sold a lie.
Your software engineer turned brand photographer turned business coach!
But don't worry
You DO NOT need to develop
software to engineer your business toward profitability.
Engineering is problem-solving through planning until you get your desired results.
And that’s exactly what I’m going to help you do with your business.

A little more about me...
Former Software Engineer at Apple. Left the “golden-handcuffs” life of working at a FAANG company to go all in on my brand photography business.
In 2022, I made a net profit of $123,681.08 from my brand photography business.
Launched a photography studio called the sunlight space in a competitive market, solving a lot my own pain points -- and then sold it for a profit in 2024.
I took my dog Rosie on a one way flight from California to Boston, and she pooped all over me on the plane.
Words I live by: iteration over perfection!
