  1. Wow! Thanks for all the great tips! I would have neeeeever thought to try that "hand over the face trick" (to see where the sunlight cast shadows on your subject)… it seems like such a common thing to do when shooting outdoor portraits, but being a beginner I would have never thought of this on my own. Thank you so much, Jess!

  2. hi Jessica, I wanna start my own photography.business. what photography equipments do I need. do you have a video that shows this or if not can you make one pls? l love your photography tutorials. very simple and easy to understand. looking forward to seeing this video. thanks

  3. GREAT video tutorial….my fav is capturing the natural activities of people and this is really going to help with using natural light, which is also my fav way of taking photos, plus I don't have all the reflectors and light equipment yet. You do a great job of teaching, thanks so much.

  4. Jessica you have single handedly inspired me to learn photography. I admire how you have evolved in such a small period of time. You are a lovely person I think,because you share your craft so freely for other people's benefit. Thanks for inspiring so many of us.

  5. Jessica, just started watching your videos today. It's encouraging to watch someone who had the drive to be self taught and go for what they want. I took photography back in high school and have just recently been itching to get back into it. Watching your videos is stoking that fire again. So Thank you. Currently I have a canon rebel xsi (I know it's an older model).
