I thought I should preface this post with WHY I am offering this new service of mentoring if you will. I get a lot of emails from other photographers asking questions. Random questions from how did I process that photo to how do you start a blog to what kind of marketing materials do you use. And the other day, after spending two hours answering ONLY these kinds of emails I realized that was a lot of time. And my time is so limited now that Chris is back at school. So I thought I would offer photographers a place to come where they can get real answers to their questions but make it so that I can legitimize spending so much time answering.

This it not to say that I won’t still answer the occasional random question and this is also not to say that I’m frustrated by all the questions I get. The opposite actually! I love connecting with other photographers and bouncing ideas back and forth. I just thought I would take asking me one or two random questions a little further if you’d really like more help. So don’t feel bad emailing questions still… I’m not charging for that, this is just for those of you that might like to take it a few steps father!

Do you cook?

I wish I did. Instead we know our pizza delivery people by name. Literally.

But my mom? She’s an incredible cook. And when we eat at her house I always wish I could cook like she can. But I know I don’t have it in me to be a good cook. There’s no desire there, no drive. I like pizza just fine thankyouverymuch. My sister on the other hand is also a great cook. She calls my mom for her recipes all the time. And my mom, God love her, copies me to her recipe emails hoping, I’m sure, I will read it and suddenly be inspired to do more than dial for my dinner.

But photography? I’m always working to be better. I’m tweaking this and reevaluating that, changing this and adding that. The recipe for success in my business is constantly changing and ever evolving. However there are certain things that always stay the same. Certain ingredients that have helped me create the recipe that works for Jodified the best.

And I’d love to share it with you.

Have you ever wished someone would look at your work and give you their absolute honest opinion? Do you have a million questions and wish you had answers that would help move you in a direction to grow your business? Are you confident in your brand? Do your marketing materials pop? Are your clients happy? Is your workflow fast enough?

If you’d like to get some unbiased thoughts on your work you’ve come to the right place. I will be nice but honest. I won’t sugar coat things b/c that won’t help you grow. I will look at your work, analyze your website, read your blog and get ready to answer any questions you throw at me.

The only things I WILL NOT talk about are shooting techniques, how to use your camera and post-processing. If you want to know what an aperture does and how to use actions this is not the right place.

I WILL talk about any of the following: branding, advertising, marketing, blogging, session planning, family/child interaction, work flow and client relationships… or anything else you can think of aside from HOW to take a photograph!
