I’d like to bring into frame my next guest Kate Eckert. Kate is a full-time high school English teacher and the founder of her own wedding photography business Opal & Jaye Photography @opalandjayephoto which she started on a whim two years ago. What started as a simple idea to fill a creative void and pay off student loans, has blossomed into an established mid-century modern style brand. Within those two years, she and her husband have been lucky enough to see their business grow. This success allowed them to take time off from teaching to see her husband through intensive inpatient chemotherapy treatment when he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer in 2017. While living out of hospital rooms and with the promise of a better tomorrow, Kate utilized that time to fill in the gaps of her knowledge and grow her Palm Springs style photography brand. As a direct result saw her business soar to new heights. So sit back and relax as we shutter through Kate’s inspirational story of obstacles and triumph.
