We had the good fortune of connecting with Paige Klingerman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Paige, what is the most important factor behind your success?
My success can be attributed to my unwavering determination to seize every opportunity, even when it meant stepping out of my comfort zone and “faking it till you made it.” My resourcefulness has been a cornerstone, allowing me to self-teach and excel in diverse fields—from growth marketing in my full-time role to nurturing my passion for photography and social media through dedicated side hustles. Through this blend of perseverance and adaptability, I’ve not only carved a path for yourself but also unlocked multiple avenues for personal and professional growth.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I excel as a photographer by creating a comfortable atmosphere for my clients and infusing fun into every photoshoot. My success stems from my proactive approach in the field, constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with new techniques, ensuring that each session is unique and memorable.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love taking visitors to hike Chief Mountain and then we go to Evergreen Brewery for beers and food. Evergreen Brewery has the best brewery food Ive ever experience! I love their reuben sandwich. Another favorite area to take guests is Nederland and hike Lost Lake and then go to Knotted Root Brewery. My husband Carter and golden retriever, Cooper love hiking together! Carter and I are also huge snowboarders an our favorite mountain is Keystone.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I attribute much of my success to the guidance of exceptional leaders at previous companies, particularly Ronen Ben-David, whose emphasis on data-driven marketing significantly shaped my carreer. Additionally, I am deeply grateful to my friends and clients whose support and word-of-mouth recommendations have been instrumental in promoting my photography services. Their belief in my abilities has been invaluable on my journey to success. Lastly, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and encouragement of my amazing husband, Carter Beem.
