Meet TJ

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to TJ. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi TJ, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

Repetition raised my confidence, but faith in my ideas even the ones I hated built my self-esteem.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’m a creative portrait photographer based in Texas and the owner of Kasper Photography. My work blends color, emotion, and vintage-inspired storytelling to create portraits that feel cinematic and intentional. What excites me most is turning someone’s presence into art crafting images that make people feel seen and unforgettable.

Right now, I’m focused on expanding my creative reach through brand collaborations, conceptual projects, and new seasonal offerings. My goal is to keep pushing my style, elevate my production quality, and build a studio known for bold ideas and powerful visuals

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

1. Consistency – Showing up even when I wasn’t inspired built my confidence and skill.
Advice: Create regularly. Don’t wait for the perfect idea — growth comes from repetition.

2. Curiosity – Exploring new colors, concepts, and styles kept my creativity alive.
Advice: Study everything around you. Let inspiration come from different art forms and experiences.

3. Emotional Awareness – Understanding people helped me capture their real energy.
Advice: Listen, observe, and connect. The better you understand people, the stronger your work becomes.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

Honestly treating people kindly who can’t do anything for me and doing things for others without expecting anything from them.
