Portraits of Us

Beginner Smartphone and DSLR Photography for the mom who wants to document her family’s story.

Are you obsessed with taking pictures of your kids, but disappointed with how your photos are turning out?

A few years ago I remember looking through social media and wondering why my photos weren't turning out the way so many others were, regardless of whether I took them with my smartphone or my expensive camera.

I didn’t have the funds to buy the most expensive gear or hire a professional every time I wanted photos of my family. The day-to-day, in-between moments are so precious - I didn’t want to miss any of them - so I took matters into my own hands.

I started learning everything I could about taking a good picture. I spent years teaching myself and seeking out as much information as I could. I didn’t do it to grow a huge photography business or become the next big local photographer. I did it because I wanted to take pictures of my babies.

I've realized that like me, most moms want to document their family's story - they just don't know where to start or how to use their camera/smartphone to take images they're proud of.

WHAT OTHER STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“So I bought the big expensive camera and had the latest and greatest smartphone but the photos I was taking of my kids were still not coming out the way I wanted. I'm so grateful that each lesson covered struggle after struggle in a way I would understand. There is so much valuable information in this course, it is worth hundreds more than Jessie is charging. I cherish every photo of my kids now because I realize the years are flying by. My only regret is that I didn't find this earlier.”

I cannot recommend Jessie’s Portraits of Us course enough! After taking her course, it feels like I’ve unlocked a whole new level. The Portraits of Us course has been immensely beneficial and I’ve learned so much. The course is definitely worth the money - it costs less than a mini-photography session and I’ll be able to take our own pictures this year.

— Tracy N.

I've always had an interest in photography, but to be honest never had the time or finances to put into super long detailed classes and expensive equipment. Taking Portraits of Us has been a literal game changer! I'm a working mom, so I honestly don't have hours upon hours to delve into intricate photo classes and Jessie's course isn't that at all. It is so well tailored to moms like myself and has some of the best tips I've ever come across for shooting and editing photos of our family. Jessie covers it all in such a simple and easy to understand way. I cannot say enough great things about how amazing the course is and how much of a difference it’s made in my photos!
