1:1 Mentoring Experience
Jess is absolutely amazing. I recently completed 2 days of mentoring alongside Jess and I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. To begin with I was extremely anxious but as soon as we got into things I was completely relaxed as Jess guided me through the whole session. From learning camera settings, watching Jess direct clients during a beach session and a studio session I walked away feeling 10 times more confident!
We then we did a follow up where Jess showed me everything I need to know with the editing process. Since the first day Jess has been there for any extra questions I may have and just with any extra reassurance I've needed. I'm so grateful for my experience with Jess. I will continue to recommend to anyone who may be looking to get into photography.

1:1 Mentoring Experience
I had the most incredible experience learning from Jess during a maternity session, and honestly I cannot recommend her enough.
From the moment we started, she was so warm, welcoming and genuinely invested in helping me learn. She is not only incredibly talented but also such a beautiful person inside and out, a true girl's girl who wants to see others grow and succeed.
Throughout the session she was so thorough and intentional in everything she did, and she took the time to explain things in a way that felt simple and easy to understand, especially as a newer photographer.
What meant the most to me was how open and generous she is with her knowledge. She doesn't hold anything back, she shares everything, answers every question and continues to offer support even after the session. That kind of mentorship is so rare.

Shootalong Experience
I had the privilege in attending a shoot along Jess had organised and gosh the girl knows how to host one! The day was smooth and so much fun! Jess has a beautifully calm vibe about her which also sets the tone of the day. Very professional in the way she directs her models/clients, so smoothly and gentle! Highly recommend attending any she does!

Shootalong Experience
I recently attended one of Jess's shootalongs and my gosh. As a photographer just starting out, Jess is such an inspiration to learn from. Her ideas, styling and posing prompts really sets her apart! She knows how to bring her vision to life. She's also helpful on the photographer side of things if you need help with settings, etc.
Jess is really tog community minded, approachable and friendly. Highly recommend if you are an aspiring photographer or established to sign yourself up to attend one of her shootalongs. They are out of this world amazing and you will certainly take away something from it. Whether it be inspiration, confidence or connection with other photographers.
