FOR BUDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

MENTORSHIP

Do you want to learn how to start a photography business or improve your budding skills? I offer mentorship by zoom or in person, including shadowing sessions out in the wild.

ARE WE THE RIGHT FIT?

Does this sound like you?

✓ You are just beginning and need some help with getting started (contracts, invoices, programs)

✓ You have questions about establishing your style, portfolio, website + media or pricing

✓ You have questions about how I run my business, my portfolio and artistic choices

✓ You need practical and technical advice for shooting, specifically on manual mode

✓ You would love some practical, hands-on experience by shadowing me on a shoot

✓ You care about creating with intention and would like to know more

✓ You are stuck and don’t know what to do next to move the needle forward

7 years and hundreds of shoots later…

I have shot countless sessions for artists, coaches, influencers, models, ethical brands and business owners, mothers and other kind humans.

I’ve spent time on rain soaked Tofino beaches, under the sun in California, in the most beautiful rainforests and beside the sea. I’ve clambered up snowy hills in arctic outflows and hiked at sunrise.

I’ve been fortunate to work with the most amazing brands and people I could dream of: people pushing the needle and dreaming up creative and beautiful businesses for a responsible future.

JESSICA

I started out charging $50 for Valentines Day mini sessions back in 2016. 7 years later, I’m charging nearly 8x that amount for a basic session and am often told by my own clients I should charge even more for the value of my work.

Now, it’s important to me to share the importance of valuing yourself and pricing yourself correctly with other budding photographers and artists. Photography is a particularly unique industry - highly saturated with a wide range of prices and packages. Some people are charging next to nothing, and some are charging an entire month’s rent for a photo shoot.

I have spent 7 years in this industry watching it change and grow, and shooting hundreds of sessions. I want other people to know their value, charge clients accordingly and learn how to offer value and professionalism in their packages.

kind words

“Jessica has been such an incredible mentor to me.

She has helped me to feel confident as I navigate the journey of starting up my own photography small business. She is one of the most genuine people I've ever met and I am very thankful for the kindness she has shown me. Jessica is very smart and talented at what she does.

Through our mentoring sessions, I have gained lots of very helpful information about photography, as well as the business side of things. I appreciate the effort Jessica brings to every mentoring session, she truly cares about the well-being and success of those around her. I am so thankful for Jessica, as a photographer, a mentor and a friend <3”
