we promise to meet you with
We're Charla & Jenn, and
HONESTY, PURPOSE, & JOY
every step of the way.
We've been told our laid-back but pointed approach to teaching is like
"hanging out with your besties over a glass of wine."
And we love that.
Because yes:
But at the end of the day, we are creatives and business owners—just like you.
And we're on a mission to make photography education approachable, actionable, and downright fun.
"They are pure LIGHT & JOY."
"They are professional but don't take themselves too seriously. And they have created a community where you want to belong!"

So, who are we?
No.01
we're honest
We'll openly share our failures and mistakes as easily as we share our triumphs and successes —because sharing is caring. And caring means helping you find your own path to success.
No.02
we're Real
While we could keep things surface-level perfect, we keep things real. Because reality is welcoming and inspiring. And quite frankly, perfection is unattainable.
No.03
we're different
We each bring one-of-a-kind strengths and skills to the table. So, you'll get education and perspective from two unique and impactful voices.
No.04
we're Supportive
We're here to support you and your dreams. And we're pumped to be the friends, mentors, and educators we didn't have.
No.05
we're respectful
As business owners, moms, wives (and so much more) we understand that time is in short supply. So we promise to always make the most of yours.
No.06
we're glowgetters
We're highly ambitious and driven to achieve our goals in life. And we strive to maintain a radiant glow—both inside and out—while we do it.
Sound a lot like you?
We thought so.
