What Others are Saying

  • Jennifer is one of those rare people who knows how to connect with her students in a way that is encouraging and positive. Her teaching style is subtle and effective. She builds confidence and seems to have an innate sense of what to say to her students at just the right time. Jennifer's passion and enthusiasm rub off and her non-judgmental analysis builds self-assurance.

    Joan

  • Jennifer is awesome! I did a couple lessons with her and she is so knowledgeable and passionate about photography. From explaining the camera features to going on shoots, Jennifer was always super thorough in explaining everything in detail. I never felt rushed with Jennifer. Even if our time session was up she made sure she covered everything and answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Jennifer if you're interested in taking lessons!

    Ray

  • I started working with Jennifer to learn more about the fundamentals of photography and how to use my manual camera. Jennifer is not only extremely knowledgeable, and exceptionally talented, but she is warm, patient, and encouraging. Following our individual classes, I joined her and an amazing group of women in her small group mentoring class. The amount I learned from Jennifer during this time was more valuable than what I learned over a whole year taking classes at college. Jennifer is truly invested in the success of her students in whichever way they wish to pursue photography.
