30 Apr Best New Emerging Child Photographer Finalists: Jenni Jones!
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: I am fortunate in that I have a full time job that I love and a passion I am able to pursue on the weekends, so hopefully 5 years from now I will have found a better way to balance the two and both of my loves can co-exist harmoniously.
Q: What is your biggest source of inspiration?
A: I would love to have an incredible story to tell about inspiration, but my inspiration exists in the form of two people, my dad (my best-friend) who is hands down the most supportive, remarkable man on the planet, and my other best-friend, Kelli – she pushes me all the time and I wouldn’t be here, a photographer, if it weren’t for her.
Q: What photographer do you look up to?
A: Can’t narrow it down to just one, sorry – Meg Bitton for her unapologetically beautiful view of the world, Keri Meyers for her technique and ability to teach, and Lisa Digeso (Milk & Honey Photography) for her simplistic approach to newborn photography.
Q: What’s one thing about your business you wish you could change?
A: Holy mother of studio….I need a studio, if only to save my sanity and not have to pack my car from top to bottom only to unpack it hours later.
Q: What about your work or yourself sets you apart from everyone else?
A: Every one of the finalists are great photographers, and I think we all have an interesting style or vision, but it’s as much about business as it is about being a unique artist – you need to be great at both. I literally spend every available second I can learning the art and developing my style; between that and the business experience I have gained over the last 8 years at my (full-time) job and receiving my MBA (Hook EM!), I am able to run a successful photography business.
Thank you so much Jenni! You can visit Jenni’s site here, and head over to our Facebook page to vote for her here. Congratulations again, and good luck to all of our finalists!
