Mentorship & Education

Before I was a photographer, I worked in corporate marketing for an international franchise brand and a big piece of my job was education about business marketing! With degrees in advertising and marketing, this has always remained a passion.

I've been lucky enough to mentor several creatives over the years in a 1:1 setting, create a 10-week online course for photographers going full-time, co-host the Thrive Wedding Workshop, and dream up several styled shoot days open to photographers of all experience levels and niches! 

Wherever you are in your journey, I'd be so honored to be a small part of it!

If there’s one thing I believe with my entire heart, it’s that you’re more than capable of creating a successful photography business.

Pour yourself a drink (or grab a Diet Coke) and let's FaceTime!

We'll spend up to 60 minutes discussing whatever your heart desires. It's important to me this is beneficial to you, so we'll spend the time going over any questions you'd like to ask. Nothing is off limits. 

This is a great option if you're looking for guidance, have a busy schedule, or live out of state.

Connection is so important to me and this option really allows us to dig into your goals and questions on a more personal level. We'll meet at your favorite coffee shop or lunch spot and talk about any and all questions you might have. 

In-person mentorships last up to two hours + include your lunch.

We'll sit to chat for an hour so you have plenty of time to ask any questions you have, followed by heading out to a shoot together.

You tell me what type of session you want to photograph (couple, family, portrait) and I'll set it up. You'll get to see exactly how I approach sessions from start to finish, while having your own time to pose, direct, create, and ask questions throughout the shoot.

This is a great option if you're a hands-on learner or are looking for session guidance such as posing and workflow. Not to mention having fresh new work you're proud of!

"All I can say is wow, Jessy truly is amazing at what she does. She is so kind and compassionate. Being a newer photographer, I was nervous but Jessy made me feel so comfortable. It was just like talking to another friend! She took the time to answer all my questions and make a plan for the future of my business. Jessy is the perfect fit for those just starting out and those more experienced. I cannot recommend her enough for those looking to further their business."
