"I can't thank Jena and her team enough for not just helping me grow my photography skills but to make me grow as a complete PHOTOGRAPHER."
— Neetu Laddha, Portfolio to Profit Graduate —
about your teacher...
I’m Jena, and I work with creative people all day every day to plan, style, shoot, and produce beautiful photos of the foods we love.
And yes…it’s as wonderful as it sounds.
I’m trained as a fine art painter and my background as an artist informs everything I do.
So when you’re learning from me, you’re learning foundational skills from someone who sees food photography the same way you see it: as art.
My goal is to see you not only master your equipment, but begin to trust your own unique perspective, and finally see the value that you and your camera bring to the table.
So tell me: what’s your vision? It’s time to start dreaming.
questions
Will you be the first success story from Inspiration to Portfolio?
Kind words from students in Portfolio to Profit, my year-long mentorship program:
Jena asked us to set some goals
so I set a goal for like, okay,
two clients per month, two shoots
per month. And I
thought at the time that that was kind of outrageous…
Within two months, I’m definitely doing two (shoots) per month.
P2P has impacted me financially, like, hugely.
-Sue
I’ve seen significant growth in my skillset,
built a network of other food
photographers and
industry professionals, and landed my first client at the goal income level I set at the beginning of P2P.
-Chrissie
I had a small amount of
food photography background
as a food blogger, but nothing to put me
at a professional level…
Joining P2P was the way for me to
bridge that gap. If you’re serious about
turning this into a career,
then take the leap and do it!
There are so many opportunities out there for you.
