Rediscover Your Passion for Photography and Connect with Like-minded Creatives
Photography has always been my first love, a passion that has guided me through my creative journey. Recently, I've also found another love in short-form film, a dynamic medium that's allowed me to explore my creativity in new and exciting ways.
However, the 'See the Sun' 5-day challenge reignited my passion for photography and reminded me of the joy that comes from sharing this passion with others. It was a powerful reminder that creativity thrives when shared and nurtured within a community. This realization led me to create the Photo Club, a space designed to inspire, connect, and celebrate the art of photography together.
As a founding member of the Photo Club, you'll help create an environment that nurtures creativity, fosters inspiration, and brings back the connection we all cherished in the earlier days of Instagram and blogging.
So, are you ready to fall in love with photography again and become part of a vibrant, supportive community?
I'd love to have you join us.

where creativity meets community.
At the core of the Photo Club is a belief in the power of creativity and community.
Together, they form a potent force for well-being, offering not just an outlet for self-expression but a source of support, inspiration, and creative growth.
In the Photo Club, you'll be part of a community that understands the joy of capturing a perfect moment, the thrill of seeing the world through a unique lens, and the satisfaction of creating something truly beautiful. This shared understanding creates a bond, a sense of belonging that can be incredibly uplifting and empowering.
Creativity, too, plays a vital role in our well-being. It allows us to express ourselves, to explore new ideas and perspectives, and to engage with the world in a meaningful way. In creating, we can find joy, purpose, and a sense of accomplishment.
The power of creativity is amplified in a community. When we share our creations with others, we open up a dialogue, exchanging ideas and inspirations. We feel seen.
This process of sharing and collaboration can be deeply fulfilling and can contribute significantly to our overall well-being.
So, why should you join the Photo Club? Because here, you're not just signing up for a virtual club. You're becoming part of a community that wants to show up and honor their creativity with like-minded souls like you!
I took the challenge and went out to shoot for five consecutive days. On an especially cloudy day, I was hesitant, but then I tuned into Kim's classroom. She encouraged us to go out anyway, saying, 'You might be surprised.' Inspired, I grabbed my camera and headed out. To my amazement, Kim was right! I discovered the most unexpected gifts. I love the idea of shooting purely for my own creativity.
Kim is a gifted doer and maker who has an extraordinary ability for helping her clients reach their full creative potential. I have taken several photography and video classes with Kim in addition to working 1:1. Her enthusiasm and love for what she does is infectious.
Kim, you gave me a gift ....the realization that there is so much more out there for me to see & shoot with my lens. Thank you so much.
What I love about taking Kim’s classes are her infectious enthusiasm, her generosity in sharing what she knows, and her desire to help every student discover and nurture their creativity to the highest degree.
She has changed not only how I see the world but how I live in it.
For anyone wanting to do a magical course...Kim is one of the most encouraging humans I have met. Go for it! You won't be disappointed.
This first session will run for 6 months.
October through to March.
With 5-day challenges for each month except December. (because it's such a busy month)
To keep it simple and not overwhelm In December will gather on Zoom for a Creative Coffee chat to discuss all the creative and life things, plus I'll share a December theme for those who have time for photography as well.
Then in January, we'll reconvene the 5-day monthly challenge schedule.
The 5-day challenges will take place mid-month on the Monday closest to the 15th.
ie. The October challenge will begin on October 16th.
It can be difficult to pick the right time for everyone.
In the past when I've hosted evening zooms I've found very few show-up.
And so the monthly zooms will be as scheduled.
Thursday before the 5-day challenge
And Tuesday after the 5-day challenge.
Both at 11 a.m. CST
I'll post a schedule in the classroom so you can perhaps plan for the calls.
Replays will also be available after the lives.
Replays will be available a few hours after the live calls.
Your access to the Photo Club and its private classroom is continuous for as long as you maintain your membership. I've designed the Photo Club experience to be engaging yet manageable, so you won't feel overwhelmed or left behind by content.
Not at all. The Photo Club is open to all levels of photographers, whether you're just starting out or have years of experience. While I personally love styled shooting, it's not a requirement for the club. Our focus is on nurturing your unique creativity and helping you develop your own style of photography. So, no matter what your preferred genre or level of experience, you're welcome in the Photo Club.
Hello Lovely, I'm Kim Klassen.
As a photographer, filmmaker, tech enthusiast, creative coach, and course curator, I embrace a multitude of roles. Yet, my heart feels the most alive when I'm guiding creative women, just like you, on their artistic explorations.
As an introvert, I've found that photography is a peaceful space and a powerful way for me to express myself. It's an experience that brings me so much joy, and I can't wait to share it with you.
In the Photo Club, I plan to weave together all these threads of my life to cultivate a space that's not just welcoming, but nurturing to your creativity.
