What Students Are Saying
Ashley Scott
“Just here to say thank you to Jenn and Charla for not only giving us all the knowledge, but also for the way they encourage us to be confident and be the expert!
I had a session at a country club and they wanted to do photos on the golf course over an hour after sunrise with allll the green reflections. With my personality, I avoid even the smallest amount of conflict, and it can carry over into my photography business. In the past my images have suffered because I let people tell me where they wanted photos instead of doing them where I knew the best light would be. But yesterday, got there early to scope out a better spot, found this path and asked them to meet me here instead! It seems like a small thing, but it was a big win for me and it's all because I remind myself every 5 seconds to ‘be the expert’ 💛”

"The Skin Tones Glowup has been rocking my world. I have been in the industry for 10 years and have forever YEARNED for those creamy, yummy skin tones, but didn't know how to do it without turning them into ghosts or over-warming my images to get skin to look alive and healthy. You have now educated and equipped me, and I'm so thankful and grateful. Charla & Jenn, you have glowed up my business, and I believe I'll see the fruit as I continue to put to practice what you've preached. Thank you for sharing and for your passion for this industry. Instead of waving as my boat sinks, you're allowing it to 'rise with the tide,' and I'm forever grateful.”

"I actually just found Develope Academy and dove head-first into a few Glowups. I've learned more in the last few weeks than I have over the last 10+ years I've been shooting! I feel like I'm bffs with Charla & Jenn now, even though it's a one-sided relationship, haha! Anyways, thank you for creating real and raw education that I am glad to be a part of, because I know I will get something out of it every single time, along with several laughs!"
