Photography Mentoring and Education

Whether you're just getting familiar with your starter dslr or you've been in business for a year and you're not sure on the next steps, learning and investing in your business is how you're going to get there!

Hi, I'm Jenn and I'm here to help you!


I remember picking up a camera for the first time and I instantly threw it in "A" for Aperature priority and called my bestie and we did a shoot. That was a LONG time ago (2015 😬). I edited my pictures in Picasso and shared them all over Facebook. And THAT was just the start.


Fast forward 2-3 years, I kept googling and watching Youtube videos to learn more, asking whoever would share answers with me. I began to invest in education (courses, in-person classes, mentoring) and saw the growth really start to show. Sometimes we can't always get there without paying for help. It's a vast worldwide internet out there and Google may not always bring you the answers you want to know, or the things you didn't know you needed to.


So, I bring you photography mentoring and education. All-access to ME, the girl who's gotten to where she is without a photography degree; a lot of elbow grease and late nights filled with caffeine. I may not know it ALL, but I sure know a heck of a lot after playing in this field for 5+ years and making a successful business, successful enough that I was able to quit my full-time nursing job!

Growth through the years...


I, too, have had my "rough years." I get it. I've had clients grow with me in my experience, and I am so thankful they have stuck around. This goes to show that client experience goes a long way!

My Why?


I take pride in helping those around me. I have a strong passion to lift others up, and believe you "shouldn't eat your young." There is a place for all of us in this industry, and we all deserve to know and utilize the knowledge that's out there and available.

Why choose to learn from me?


I've been in your shoes, and although I haven't walked every step on your journey, I know the resources that can help guide you in the right direction, or else I will help you find them. I've had other photographers give me a cold shoulder for absolutely no reason, I know it can be a shark tank out there in this industry. I am here to break that pattern and bring you up with me. I am down to earth and will tell it to you straight. I will guide your learning to help you with what's pertinent to growth at your stage in business or hobby.
