I started working with Jennifer in a one-on-one capacity in early 2019. I wanted to learn more about the fundamentals of photography and how to use my manual camera properly with the aim of eventually forging a career in photography. We connected immediately. 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 which spanned over three months. 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.
