"Infectious, understanding, and genius, these two are masters of their craft."

EXPLORE DIFFERENT WAYS to LEARN
a different kind of
Learning experience
WITH US YOU CAN EXPECT:
Practical guidance from well-respected experts on how to become a best-in-class photographer
Interactive, actionable, and fun lessons— free of teleprompters and canned scripts. (Because we all know those can be a bit of a snoozefest)
An open and friendly environment where everyone belongs, no question is too silly, and no one is ever too new or too old.
Topics to help develop and market your business like a pro. Because a great photography business requires more than being a great photographer.
A finger (or two) on the pulse of the industry and an expert eye on any shifts. So we can revisit, reteach, or add a new twist to lessons we've previously taught.
A variety of learning methods so you can approach the material how you learn best. Because everyone learns, thinks, and makes decisions differently.
“They're not just another educator.”
"I can't sing Charla and Jenn's praises more. I trust them, I love them, and I know they're rooting for me. They're not just another educator who is looking at dollar signs. They pour their hearts into everything they do and I feel honored to learn from them."
