Showing client images is so important! Energy is unmatched lol great video!

[@annelmoreno6862]

JESSICA THESE PICTURES CAME OUT AMAZING!!!! I absolutely love your energy and your personality you were made for this!!!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

also yall i am not sure why sometimes the audio sounds fuzzy, we used a mic like normal and it didn't sound like this in my editing software :/

[@TurnerCommaCarson]

Jessica Whitaker what kind of mic do you use? I’ve been searching for a good one!

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

I feel like it's when you start squealing/yelling, which maxes the audio levels out, causing distortion.

[@jennacarney8012]

I honestly really love how you’re not afraid to shoot in landscape mode. So many photographers shame that almost for portraits but your photos are always gorgeous!!!!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

ahhh thanks so so much i loveeee shooting horizontally

[@tracyshankland]

Loved this video; your energy, your direction to the couple, the wealth of knowledge you impart - all done so effortlessly. Thank you for all of it.

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you so much! this is very encouraging to read!!

[@ankitachakrabortyart]

Enthusiasm is a sign of confidence and control! I like that.♥️♥️

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you SO SO much! this comment is probably one of the nicest complements i have received and is super encouraging!! :,)

[@ReneesNest91]

I love your enthusiasm, you can always tell when someone truly has a passion for something. This is me with photography, mushrooms, writing...

[@JessicaWhitaker]

ahhh thank you very much!

[@saracenrush2010]

Mushrooms. Wait what? 😄

[@nicolemontecalvo-robinson7309]

Love this video Jessica! I'd love to see a similar fun outdoorsy session with a hs senior!!!

[@moidutoiphotography8427]

You really are my most favourite photography teacher/mentor. True story. Pinkie swear :)

[@tacsmith]

I wish someone loved me as much as Jessica loves photography

[@omermuhammed7616]

what is the camera and lens?

[@Aviogne]

I don't understand what so many other comments are complaining about lmao, I love your energy in this!

[@ryleeellis7589]

Literally loved this video so much! Probably my favorite video I’ve watched of yours

[@JessicaWhitaker]

omg thank you so so much!

[@satharsamu2078]

Lovely 😍 jessi Which lens used?

[@KillingMyDarkness]

The timing for this video could not be more perfect. Theses are some awesome pose ideas and I'm totally using them all in my spring engagements next month. 😍

[@JessicaWhitaker]

YAY i am so happy to hear that!

[@leeanneh1829]

Hi. Love this video and thank you for sharing. I have just started my photography journey and I am wondering how long I should practice before offering a free shoot in order to start building portfolio please?

[@madisonkerslake3250]

Love this video! Did you shoot in 1.4 for the entire shoot?

[@madelynhoschofficial]

I wanna know too!!

[@Diana-se8lu]

So much energy!! I need it too!!! Jessica, you are so adorable! You inspire me with every video! Beautiful couple and a very talented photographer. 😍

[@JessicaWhitaker]

YAY!! thank you so much!

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

Some really great motions in here. Thanks, Jess!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

yay!! youre so welcome!

[@laaaauren333]

Not my fav location but the photos are so beautiful! 😩 also I really like what you’re saying about keeping your energy up. I work in retail and it’s like hand in hand in making sales, have fun and make their day, you’re customer servicing them as you’re shooting them, and making it fun for them. Love that 😌

[@juniatamc]

Some really great advice in this video. Thank you.

[@JessicaWhitaker]

you're so welcome!

[@linseyhuffaker2304]

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING WOW WOW WOW JESSICAAAA!!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you SO SO much!

[@ReneesNest91]

Beautiful photos btw!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you so so much!

[@LuciaHewitt]

Wish I had control over my focussing like you do! :/

[@juangiraud6013]

Use back button focus. I tend to hold this button down while people are constantly moving around and I get better focus.

[@LuciaHewitt]

@@juangiraud6013 thankyou, will try

[@hannahdam1276]

Hi Jessica! I loooveee this video! I'm having my very first couple shoot in two months and im sooo nervous... Dont know anything about posing couples, how to not make it awkward af and how to start and get the conversation going. This video helped a LOT!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you so so so much! i am so happy this helps!

[@shotsbyrick2866]

Your intros take forever!!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

This video is 18:30 long. My intro was 2:30 long, including necessary information to frame this session as well as an advertisement with a company I have used personally for 2+ years. For a 18:30 FREE video, 2:30 intro is extremely good. It’s a blessing for me to be sponsored on a video like this because it takes me about 10 hours to make, for you, for FREE. I don’t understand what there is to complain about, there’s 16 minutes of a free photography tutorial other photographers would charge you for either in a workshop, mentoring session, or not share with you at all.

[@malikkelly]

Ricky G Gotta Play bills man, relax

[@tiffanyramirez572]

Where do you focus when the couple is doing “bumper cars” and is your f stop still low doing that as well??

[@BoraBora_Sasha]

Thank you, Jessica, for sharing it!

[@teratalent4744]

[@nataliederks6887]

Jessica! where did you get your coat?? It is absolutely adorable!! This video is so much fun and gave me so much inspiration for my next couples photoshoot!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

Natalie Derks thank you so much! I got it at j crew on massive sale... it was $40 because they were closing one of their seattle locations!!

[@TurnerCommaCarson]

Btw your photos were incredible and this video was very informative!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

Carson Turner thanks so much!!

[@jessicasalcido4460]

this so wholesome

[@AlexBeaverProductions]

Quick question but do you use the grid when taking photos?

[@JessicaWhitaker]

i think so! i would need to go check...i know i used to!!

[@Creatorcho7]

How to prevent motion blur.

[@calmchaos658]

How did you edit these photographs? They are amazing!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

lightroom and i used vsco pack 5!

[@calmchaos658]

Awesome! Are you in automatic auto focus or continues auto focus? Thank you so much for your help! 😊

Great video and totally digging your energy. Where you really snapping shots in the beginning because you never held the camera still for even a second..?? lol

[@itsbeiko]

15:28 i love how into it she is LOL

[@faviolalupercio8344]

Jessica this is so beautiful! I would LOVE to see your camera setting (Shutter Speed, aperture, ISO) when you show the images in your video. I own the Sigma 35 mm 1.4 art and have sent it back twice for repair and still no luck with crisp beautiful images like these. Any help/ tips would be greatly appreciated. xoxo

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you so so much! i actually don't really show camera settings on my YT video but for settings etc and editing, workflow, etc i have that all in my online workshop!

[@sarahmak5959]

Hi Jessica, you have a beautiful talent. Thank you for sharing it with us. I really like the video section at the beginning. Did you need a tripod for this and also did you use manual focus for it? I am a photographer but haven't tried video so far - this inspires me to give it a go.

[@JessicaWhitaker]

thank you so much! no we didn't use a tripod and just auto focus!

Your so slippery right now

[@1252PFC]

Too talk... not much learning. Too much screaming and cute, cute, cute... What about your camera settings or post editing?

[@JessicaWhitaker]

1252PFC this video is a tutorial and I am talking a TON about all 5 tips, extremely in depth. More in depth than most people but the details matter. You were told at the start these are some of my friends and so it’s a little silly, the tips are all there. I don’t teach editing on KZbin as much anymore but I have a lot of old videos on editing if you’d like.

[@KoolCreation]

It's a posing video not a editing or settings video.

[@juniatamc]

Squarespace gets on my nerves. I understand that you guys need sponsors, but they exaggerate it.
