Senior Style Guide’s Real Talk series brings you face-to-face with other photographers and creatives who are going through exactly the same things you are. It’s about going beyond the technical parts of photography and diving deep into what struggles have they faced, how they got to be where they are today and what they learned along the way. Hosted by Sean Brown, join us as we sit down and have conversations with photographers whose stories you’ll want to hear.

Katrina Jackson is a photographer that specializes in high school seniors and teens her home studio is in Rochester, Indiana. Katrina has been photographing teens since the very beginning of her photography career. She fell in love with seniors immediately and hasn't looked back. Katrina has created a senior portrait experience that she could only have dreamed of when she was a high school senior. She is very passionate about her client experience she has created and perfected her experience over the years. Katrina has recently realized that her true gift isn’t in the pictures she creates but the service she provides her clients and attention to details she provides to all of her clients, the pictures are the cherry on top. Katrina has seen success in her teen team since she launched it in 2018. She loves seeing her teens literally mature in front of her camera over the years. Her very first teen team from 2018 has already seen 4 of those clients move into her senior team and graduate! She has now realized it’s nice having most of your seniors on your senior team be returning clients that you have already worked with for multiple years. It’s like family friends hanging out and not like work!
Katrina is also a 2025 PUSH Conference Speaker.
