Send us Fan Mail

Kristin Baker grew her business by trusting herself, staying persistent, and refusing to accept “no” as the final answer.

In this episode of Aligned and Abundant, Christine Marcario sits down with luxury newborn and family photographer Kristin Baker to talk about what it really takes to build your own business from the ground up. Kristin shares how she created a career she loves by taking risks, reflecting often, and continuing to show up even when the path wasn’t clear.

This conversation explores self-led growth, resilience, intuition paired with action, and the importance of creating a life that actually feels good to live. Kristin opens up about learning through rejection, refining her direction through reflection, and choosing freedom and fulfillment on her own terms.

If you’re building something of your own and need a reminder that persistence, self-trust, and reflection matter just as much as strategy, this episode is for you.
