I’ve found that understanding my client’s personal brand archetype has changed the way I photograph my clients. It helps me visualize what’s important for them at a psychological level. I insist that do my free quiz first before we even start planning their shoot. It makes the photoshoot so much easier and more aligned.

[@picsbypixrephotography4696]

I have been thinking about this. Can you give some ideas of the types of things you ask them first? :)

[@CrisGarcia6]

Jessica, I wanted to say you are such a perfect person and you're very passionate on your things. I'm glad that you are into photography and I hope that it is going well.

[@zulfphotography]

Great job, its good you showed the conversation process with the client to understand their needs. Hayley seems very nice great shoot.

[@nadiasaburov]

Literally THE BEST smile this girl has!

[@johnmcgurk4057]

Wow her smile is so contagious!

[@janinekathia]

Jessica is the sweetest!!

[@anneshaadams]

im so thankful for you, youre always sharing tips so many people wouldnt! Also, your outfit is super cute!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

aw thank you so much for the encouragement!

[@zulfphotography]

I do agree it's good to see the thoughts behind the ideas.

[@flowersafeheart]

I really enjoyed this! You seem like a great photographer who helps people feel at ease.

[@jarrettdavis2780]

I was wondering what camera you're using to film your content. Your content is probably the most useful I've come across on KZbin

[@JessicaWhitaker]

Canon 5D Mark IV! :) And omg thank you so much. You might enjoy my podcast 'joyride podcast' then too!

[@everwild82]

You're a powerhouse! Love your work and videos. So inspirational, especially for a budding photographer. I want to be you when I grow up even if I'm probably 10 years older than you.

[@lochtessmonsterxoxo]

Girl you put in WORK in Bali! These turned out so cute

[@JessicaWhitaker]

haha thank you! and there's more videos to come! it was so fun :)

[@YourDriverMike]

Scheduling out a photoshoot next week for my upcoming business, great posing tips!

[@JessicaWhitaker]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@deviningram6814]

Cool to see you switching tools often. Goes to show that it's not about the gear you use, but how you use them

[@olatundefadahunsi3981]

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Mirrorless sometime and if you plan on making a transition at some point? Love your videos btw Jessica! Love your energy on every Photoshoot!

[@carina.belmonte]

Love this type of videos! Thank you for sharing

[@ellynhodges1876]

“She’s ganna fire me on the spot if I don’t have her do a kart wheel” 😂😂😂😂

[@mjcesista9976]

Hey awsome video also its my first time to see you use a nikon body from a shoot.

[@chynnadoll2044]

Its 2:30am and here I am... lol I absolutely love all of your videos!!!! Your energy is everything and your photos are so amazing, you make me so comfortable as if I'm the client 😂 I can imagine the vibrations! May God continue to bless you. Win sis❤

[@hugmaellejean9349]

[@ps7nepal298]

[@jackelinslack4400]

So helpful. Thank you!

[@sushain2646]

hey love your content. I'm curious about your export settings. What export setting do you use for different types of shoots .

[@mdarmanhossain3884]

How can i start as a beginner?

[@KatrinWay]

I remember that group VERY WELL. I HATE IT. One girl got RAPED in a yoga retreat in India, exposed the owner of the place and her post got DELECT because they had a tour in India. Also, few weeks after one girl was trying to ask help in the group as her grandma had a LIFE OR DEATH situation and need it to fly back to Canada in a special airplane and she got her post DELECT as Thursday was the right day to post a GoFoud me , and she didn't wait. Many more people were complaining about this women you have in the video, unfortunately I don't remember all the reasons anymore as it was 4 years ago, but my advice is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS GROUP.

[@JessicaWhitaker]

i have never heard of this. can you please provide a link to an article with more information on this?

[@KatrinWay]

@@JessicaWhitaker this is not an article, and everything I said is from what I saw with my eyes. I remember that non being in that group was one of the best things ever happened in my file. I wrote just two examples that I still remember very clearly. But there was more going on there. But I understand that is just my word again "hers" so I would trying best this weekend to find some screenshot, or trying to look in the group for proofs. ps: if you go to the search tool in the group try to write "rape" "india" or "Canada" " old woman" "special airplane", hopefully they didn't deleted, and just stopped the comments.

[@angelajwms2]

That group also silenced a lot of Black women and our feedback about racist activities happening amongst the mods. It was awful.

[@thefrenchwolfe6809]

why don't you use flash?

[@OxanaBrik]

I would fix the laptop, it’s tilted forward kinda unnatural, in my opinion..

[@JessicaWhitaker]

ok! hope you enjoyed the rest of the video ! :)

[@Jwick1518]

Interesting

[@arcticdave84]

Actually watched this video because your surname is similar to mine.

[@delangelstudio]

Great video. Please keep the shoulder strap on your shoulder :)

[@ZoyaKhan-pk4nv]

I am waiting for your gift my sister?

[@jorgemaj1674]

Boringgggg

[@JessicaWhitaker]

Ok lol

[@jorgemaj1674]

Too long ! Photographers like improve our habilities, but the part of business woman is not interesting !!

[@roxanabucur33]

@@jorgemaj1674 🤦🤦 sometimes is better to shut up!

[@jorgemaj1674]

Truth is difficult to accept. Sorry for you to.

[@angellondian7628]

Great job! Great tips

[@JessicaWhitaker]
