“Fabulous workshop in Kansas City! Our attendees learned so much and fed off the passion you have for what you do.” ~Abbi Heideri – Kansas Beef Council
“I spoke with several other photographers before deciding to work with Jenn, and I’m so glad I did! Jenn has a wealth of knowledge that she so willingly provides as she works with you to meet your goals. From our first meeting I knew I was in good hands. She meets you where you’re at and then provides the tools and information you need to get excel. With Jenn’s help I started to shoot for my first magazine, booked several new clients, and learned what I need to do to truly make my business a success. If you’re passionate about food photography and are serious about making it your career, I can’t recommend Jenn enough. You’ll feel like you’re hanging out with an old friend all while learning more than you ever thought possible.” ~Audrey Knizek – Food Photographer
