hello, love
Learn how to create an artificial light setup that will instantly take you from dull and boring product photos that get overlooked in search to bright product photos on white that sell.
I work with MAKERS who want to take their own product photos.
The problem is you just can’t get your light right. YOUR light...
- is dull
- is uneven
- creates hard shadows
- creates distracting reflections
- is yellow or blue, never white
- is constantly changing
Your light causes inconsistent results, significantly increasing the time you spend shooting and editing.
Together we can create a quick, consistent artificial light setup so that you can finally master the white background and take professional photos that sell.
DO YOU...
- have dark shadows you can’t get rid of
- have distracting reflections on your products
- have to wait till the light is just right
- spend too much time editing
- get overlooked in search because your photos aren’t professional
- avoid listing new products
- waste money on equipment that doesn’t get you results
- spend too much time searching for the right answers
- wish you could just get consistent results
- want more time to create your products
- feel totally lost and confused
- hear crickets in your handmade shop

Imagine how good it will feel having a light setup you can use any time of the day that gives you a pure white background every time you shoot instead of having to spend hours editing.
This video was taken in the lightbox I personally designed and I can teach you how to get these results straight from the box.
PICTURE A LIFE WHERE YOU...

You are a creative maker who has perfected your craft and creates amazing products but you struggle to take product photos that truly reflect the quality and value of your products.
When it comes to product photography you just can’t seem to create a consistent light setup free of shadows and reflections. You've tried different setups, different techniques, and you haven’t made any progress. You just don’t understand how light works, why it is always giving you different results, or how to fix it to get the look you need for your product photos.
That is exactly why I created
The Light Lab
The Light Lab will allow you to go from dull, uneven light with shadows and reflections to a quick, consistent personalized artificial light setup that gives you a bright white background with minimal shadow and reflections every single time allowing you to accurately represent the value and quality of your products.

"I have been having trouble taking photos of my products for years until... I met Kristina. Taking photos of glass has been a task I dreaded until now! I was introduced to Kristina and Boom, I now understand light and how it can make or break your photos. I’ve used natural light in the past but the inconsistency was troubling. Learning how to make, set up, and use a lightbox has taken my photos from drab and ordinary to something I am proud of. The knowledge I have learned from Kristina has made taking photos fun! I can’t thank her enough for teaching me and supporting me! She is truly a caring and knowledgeable teacher!"

"Before taking Kristina Nicole’s course on photography, I was completely ruining the image of my products in the editing process trying to get the white background, So I stopped trying all together! I switched to a background that was easy and didn’t create a lot of shadows and the lighting really didn’t have that much of an effect on, after all I was the only one who knew what color it was supposed to be anyway. All of this changed when I took Kristina Nicole’s course! She taught me how to use artificial light to get clean crisp white backgrounds every time! No more waiting for the perfect conditions for photographing outside, I can take pictures anytime of day or night using artificial light and get that perfect white background with very little editing I might add! Her course has streamlined the photography process for my business so much so that I love photography now! With the knowledge and skills her course gave me I now have the confidence to take my own product photography and slay it! Thank you Kristina!"

Kristina’s light set up and course is amazing. I went through the process of buying a little lightbox online and I could never get the lighting right. The “white” of my photos were always either blue or yellow still. When I finally found Kristina, I figured I would give her artificial lighting set up to see if it would work and it has changed my WORLD. I went from editing photos ten to twenty minutes each (and still not actually getting a white background) to snapping photos, editing in the one minute it took me to walk to my computer and uploading it. This process has saved me over and over again. When customers have a question and need to see a different angle or if a reporter needs a photo super fast for publication, I can take a perfect photo at any time of day in any weather and send it over immediately."

"I struggled with taking product photos, as my lighting was always off. With help from Kristina Nicole and her DIY Lightbox, the colors of my products are now true to life. The building instructions for the light-box were easy to follow. I love that Kristina tests out all the products she recommends. I bought so much equipment before I found her course and they just didn't work."
