After many requests and countless hours trying to help photographers via email, we’ve started offering one on one mentor sessions for photographers.

It’s an all day (8 hour) session in our studio where you learn what you want to learn…whether it’s studio lighting, outdoor shooting, posing, in-person sales, retouching, business structure comparisons, portfolio/website reviews, pricing strategy or all the above. Those coming from out of town can split it up over 2 days (4 hours each day) for an extra $100 fee. The mentoring will also continue via email for one year after the session.

If you’re interested in learning more about shooting, you can have the opportunity to go on a photo shoot with me.  You’re encouraged to shoot along side of me as I pose & work with the model while explaining why and how I do what I do.  We can them use your images and/or mine to demonstrate portrait retouching as well as artistic editing.

Although these photography mentoring sessions are designed to be one on one to give you the most personal attention possible, we offer a 25% discount if 2 photographers want to have a mentoring session together.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions from our previous clients:

Q. Will you be offering photography mentor sessions in the Spring and Summer as well as Fall and Winter?

A. Yes, but the available dates may be more limited.

Q. Can I bring my husband/wife to my photography mentoring session?

A. Absolutely! They can take some notes for you so you’ll be sure not to forget anything. Plus…we’ll need an assistant for our photo shoot! ;)

Q. Can I come with another photographer so we can carpool?

A. Yes! If you come with another photographer, you both get 25% off.

Q. I can’t leave my kids for 8 hours. Can I split it up over 2 days?

A. You can. Since I’ll have to block off the good part of 2 days for you, there will be an extra $100 fee to split it up over 2 days.

Q. What do I need to bring with me to my photographer mentor session?

A. Your camera and lenses, a laptop if you have one, your pricing information and a portfolio of images (unless they can be found online).

Q. What is the closest airport to you?

A. Joplin, MO is the closest, but Kansas City, MO or Fayetteville, AR are probably a cheaper option. Both are about 1.5 hour drive.

Q. What if I have questions after I get home from our photography mentor session?

A. Feel free to email me! This always happens. You always forget something! So email mentoring will continue for 1 year after your session.

Q. I can’t make the trip to you. Will you come to my home/studio?

A. If you live in a warm, sunny location, YES! :P All joking aside, yes I can. Regular fees plus travel fees (flight & hotel) are required. The positive to this is that I can see your studio location/town you shoot in and make suggestions. We can schedule a shoot (paid or not) and I can help you with locations, lighting, working with clients, etc. Also, if you don’t do in person sales, this would be a great time to start! I can work as your salesman for you so you can see exactly how it works and how to get maximum profit.

Q. Is what is going to be taught already set or can we focus on the issues that I need the most help?

A. It is customized to each photography mentoring session. While we have time to touch on a little bit of everything, we can focus on what you need the most help with. Options are: studio lighting, outdoor lighting, posing, camera settings, in person sales, pricing, business structure, portfolio review, live photo shoots, live sales sessions, retouching, workflow, and anything else you can think of.

Q. Can I use the pictures that I take during your photo shoot for my portfolio?

A. Yes. I have no problem with that at all.

Feel free to send us an email if you have any questions that is not listed above.  You can also contact Kim Kravitz Photography, Cindy at Taste the World Photography, Kristin at Remember This Image, Erica McKimmey Photography, Philip of Leisure Time Images, Liz at Photos by Liz, Jyn of JRP Studios, Debi Allen, Angel of This Shot Photography, Melissa Schnieders Photography, or Jan of Sister Act Photography and ask them about their experience with our mentor sessions.

Below is an unsolicited testimonial from a previous mentor client, Melissa from Wichita:

I had my mentoring session yesterday with Jessica.  I can not even tell you how much I learned/soaked in/asked etc.  It was invaluable and I am thrilled that I got the opportunity!!

I was afraid that I was too new to even be eligible, but Jessica made sure to explain things in a way that I totally “got it”.   She puts terminology into clear language.  She is super skilled with her camera (I swear, it’s an extension of her hand).  She has the most amazing ability to pause the conversation during sales session w/ clients, making them comfortable while making choices.

We had a fantastic senior shoot.  She showed me some of the amazing products from MpixPro.  I could go on and on!!  I learned so much that I can now do apply to my business.  I’ve typed up some of my chicken scratch notes and already had the camera out this morning working on my new skills.  If anyone is even possibly considering this ~ DO NOT WAIT!  You will NOT be disappointed!!

Here are just a few of the many subjects we covered:  posing, studio lighting, choosing locations, shooting on location, going over subjects clothing choices & matching clothes to locations, using reflector, shooting with family pets, business building, marketing, web design, setting prices, running promotions, sales sessions, Photoshop how-to (must-know basics plus using templates), shooting in RAW, converting to jpeg, further education, must have equipment, future ideas for equipment and so much more.

This digital pose book includes 100 poses for high school senior guys and girls.  It also includes detailed descriptions of how to achieve the pose, simple & quick variations you can do to get a different look from the pose, as well as a few lighting tips.

The digital pose book also includes a version for your iPhone, iPod touch, and any other device in which you can upload jpegs.  This makes it easy to review the poses when you’re on the go for a quick refresher!

In addition to getting the digital versions  of this pose book, you’ll also get a 90 page 5×7 flip book with the poses and descriptions that you can conveniently take to your photo shoots in your camera bag or purse.
