If you would have told me even 10 years ago that I’d be where I am now in my life and career, I would have never believed you. You might be sitting on the other side of the screen thinking no one will take you seriously, it’s not the right time, you don’t have the money to invest in yourself, you can figure it out on your own… but believe me, I truly do understand all the ways doubt, uncertainty and scarcity mindset like to keep us small. I am here to tell you it is possible to have whatever you desire in life. I’m also here to let you know it won’t come from “manifesting it”. I poured my life’s work into this course because I want to share as much practical knowledge and wisdom as possible so you get the results you’ve paid for. You get to experience the depths of my own photography journey, which will help you save more time and money then you could ever imagine. YouTube and Google can only get you so far and trying to piece together information on your own will be virtually impossible. This course is available now because I went first. I took the leap of faith and continued to invest in myself (and still do to this day). I’m sharing all the insights with you, nothing is off the table.
Artists get to
have it all too

The Photographer's Journey
The Photographer's Journey
Master
Your Mindset
Get clear about your journey. Darling, tell me your dreams, your burning desires, your passion, your purpose and your why. This is your real life Jedi training. Building resiliency, developing good habits and getting your mind sharp so you can brave the creative entrepreneurial journey. Starting or running your own business is one of those things in life that will continuously push you to the edges of your comfort zone and required you to up-level, grow, adapt to the times. The stronger your mindset, the further you can go as an artist. Take it from a world champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...discipline is my secret weapon in business when motivation isn't enough.
Discover Your Signature Style
That signature style you're trying to express and share with the world is found within you. Awaken to your inner artist and develop a deep relationship with yourself. Getting to know who you are is the key in discovering your unique edge as a photographer. I'll take you through my process of art and creative direction, my life story and how I birthed Studio Je T'aime after dozens of rebrands, business name changes and purchasing upwards of 20 domain names. I made sacrifices and had to make really hard decisions to prioritize my life's purpose. Not everyone is going to get it but I know you'll find your community here while you're on your journey.
Camera & Equipment
Digital and Film Photography. Laying down the foundations so you can begin to master your camera. I lay out my entire list of equipment, what I started with and what I use now. I show you the gear I bring with me on the road when I'm travelling internationally. Explore different styles of photography and even consider making the transition to Brand Photography (Level 2 is definitely the place to be). You might be a digital photographer who loves the Vintage Summer Romance (grainy/retro) photo editing style so it's time to dabble in film! From 35mm, medium format, Super 8 video, digital - everything you need is here. I also show you the settings I use in different lighting situations.
Become An Editing Queen
Editing my photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic is probably my favourite part of creating art. There is so much you can do to a photo. Yes, you can buy presets from different photographers (including myself), but truthfully I want you to love the process. I want you to understand what you're doing and not just slap someone else's preset on your photo because you can't make it look how you want. I want to give you the skills so you could even go on to create your own preset pack to sell one day. I will show you the ONE simple yet highly effective strategy I use to reduce my editing time so you can get your photos back to your clients in a shorter time frame. Watch screen recordings of how I edit in Adobe Lightroom. In this section I show you what to do with your photos from memory card to Adobe Lightroom catalogues, importing files, staying organized, editing and exporting images for web, print or social media usages.
Build Your Brand
& Business
Sharing all of the tools I use to run my own business. Systems, strategies, frameworks, software, and cover basics of building a brand, getting your website up, understanding the client purchasing journey, overcoming objections, pricing your work, marketing and sales. A highly over-looked area of business is communication and conflict resolution. I show you how you can navigate without ego when dealing with difficult clients, and how to spot red flags in clients or situations as well as prevent and protect yourself when shit hits the fan. (We always hope it doesn't but that's not real life...)
Portfolio Building & Passive Income
You can trade time for money for the rest of your life as long as it's what you truly want. Doing any service in exchange for money means when you stop working, you stop earning. I prefer to diversify my income and want you to know there are different ways to generate income as an artist so you don't always need to be behind the lens. I want you to see for yourself that it's possible to make money while you sleep, eat, travel and make love. I share my complete guide on hosting photography mini sessions which is how I was able to not only build a larger portfolio but earn additional streams of income so I could reinvest into my business. Give yourself permission to dream, create a plan and then go all in - don't look back.

Chase Your Dreams
"I am now an International Photographer, travelling the world and shooting with people and brands I love."
This year I was able to travel for the very first time for photography, and also had paid opportunities to shoot in stunning locations in Europe! What a blessing. I have photographed my first international women’s retreat. With your guidance, Jess, I have had the courage and confidence to have important conversations around the value of my work. And after applying some of your strategies in upselling, I've been making thousands of dollars in additional income after my shoots! (And she's currently in LA shooting <3)
I feel like I am stretching more and more, and expanding into a grounded presence regarding my worth as an artist. I see the value and uniqueness of what I create and my genius.
Jess, from your teachings I got to experience the joy, awe, and a new deep trust in my ability to create the life of my dreams as a photographer and videographer. Since I have started to bathe in your energy, I have no doubt in my ability to create a life of overflowing abundance for myself, doing what I love. But I know this will not happen through solely dreaming about that life, actions are required. "

"Since the course, I have gone onto shoot two events, one boudoir and one lifestyle session"
Since the course, I have gone onto shoot two events, one boudoir and one lifestyle session with a group of friends. I have one wedding, one maternity shoot, another boudoir shoot booked and am constantly putting myself on other people's radars! So seriously, this course simply changed my life. The technical parts of the course really gave me the confidence to call myself a photographer and significantly helped my post shoot skills. The personal development section was crucial in helping me show up in this space and take up roooommm honeyyyy.
SUCCESS STORIES
I'm a brand photographer based in Canada. I quit my 9-5 corporate job 2 years ago, but I feel like it's more "me" to share that I worked in the hospitality industry for 15 years, from a bus girl, bartender, waitress, and often worked at least 3-4 jobs at any given time.
I bought my first DSLR only 7 years ago and my life has changed drastically since then. I had NO IDEA how to use my camera back then, and now I'm a full time photographer and creative entrepreneur supporting women from around the globe.
It wasn't easy to get where I am today. I didn't have people around to ask for help. I didn't see anyone making the art that I wanted to make. I took on jobs I really didn't want to do, had difficult clients, navigated weird situations, didn't know even little things like how to get clients to share testimonials or tag in even to spread my name or credit my work!
The reason I created this course is because I'm on a mission to help female photographers, artists and creative visionaries do more of what they love and also to help them enjoy the journey (because it's not just about the destination). Merging the worlds of personal and spiritual development, business and photography is my purpose.
I've supported hundreds of women move through personal and professional challenges with my background as a certified life coach. I started my journey as a brand photographer 1.5 years ago and have worked with some of my favourite brands and continue to actively take risks and do things that are outside of my comfort zone. In 2022 I was mentored by Natalie the founder of WEAREVIBEHAUS and brand photographer Carly Dame which has helped me truly refine my own business, offerings and greatly influenced the art that I share with the world. Since then, I've joined the Nordic Retreats in Norway, toured Europe twice for 1-2 months each time shooting full time and recently studied under Olivia Van Dyke, Frank Rocholl, Séréna Lutton and Be Ryder. I have invested in the most supportive and talented artists in the industry and I'm just getting started. You have access to my brain and experiential wisdom.
I hosted level 1 while travelling and shooting throughout Europe and also during my art expedition in French Polynesia. I love to expand and grow and believe in making the most of our lives. When you say yes to working with me, just know you'll be along for an adventure - I love sharing my experiences with you all and igniting deep inspiration.
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER I WAS IN MY BODY FOR THE WHOLE HOUR, DANCING, MOVING AND REALLY EXPRESSING MY FULL FEMININE SELF. YOU FEEL HOW DEVOTED SHE IS THROUGH HER WORK. SHE HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL WAY OF CAPTURING THE IN BETWEEN MOMENTS AND ALLOWS YOU TO TRULY BECOME YOUR OWN MUSE.
10 years ago, I was a student, working 3 jobs for extra cash, stressed out and trying to figure out entrepreneurship alone...
When people meet me and hear some of my stories they say it sounds like I've lived 100 lifetimes. Sometimes I forget just how far I've come on my journey. Sitting here writing this page up for all of you to read, listening to Spanish music with a desk covered in seashells, no where else to be - no one needs anything from me; I'm just here with you. My nervous system has never been calmer, my life has never been simpler, I've never felt more creatively in tune and opportunities continue to present themselves. I am attracting soul level aligned clients and turning down projects that don't light me up. Who would have thought one day you'd get to choose how you make money!?!?
I knew that a calm nervous system meant more to me than money for a long time. I'm not here to teach anyone how to get rich, get rich fast, to prioritize money over health or well-being. I'm here to teach women how to become self-aware so you can create a life on your terms. You can make schedules to support your bleed cycles and the other hobbies and passions you have in your life. Entrepreneurship requires discipline and devotion. It requires good habits, resiliency and grit. Most people want things they aren't willing to work for. Most people give up when the going gets hard. I am here to remind you that it is hard. Life can be hard. Life has its challenges that help define who we are as women. Fortunately we get to choose what we think, how we feel and how we respond in any given moment. I show you how to enjoy the journey and be in it for the long haul.
