Jo Ellen Verna Portrait

I've been following Sue Bryce's photography teachings since 2012. In recent years, she's expanded her focus to help entrepreneurs across all industries with business growth, self-value, and personal branding.

Yesterday, I attended one of Sue's photography-focused workshops, and tomorrow I'll be joining her Personal Brand workshop (for all personal brands and industries - not just photographers), kicking off an 8-week coaching program.

My husband Joe has heard Sue's voice and teachings for years (he actually bought me my first class of hers!), and I'm excited for him to be part of tomorrow's in-person program for business owners who are their own brand. He is the epitome of this!

On the way to the gym today, Joe asked me what makes Sue different. We reflected on the MANY events, classes, and workshops, weeklong intensives we've attended in the last 20+ years. I told him he can expect:

Actionable strategies you can implement immediately
Information presented in clear, digestible chunks
Interactive Q&A and community engagement - if you have a question, ask it!
Addressing common obstacles: money mindset, self-doubt, gaining clarity
An authentic, no-BS approach
And YES - men are welcome and encouraged! 😄

This program is designed for solopreneurs and small business owners across all sectors. If you're interested in developing your personal brand and business acumen, I suspect there's still time to join. Check out .com for more info!

I’ve been a far for a long time and I think we were one of the first takeout orders at when they opened in 7th St. When I found out I won Sam’s Golden Ticket I thought it was a prank. $3000 and lots of deliciousness for the year. Thank you and ! We are stoked! How do I get to see the replay? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looking forward to ! Just over a week away. Excited to be on team this year helping out in the shooting bays so others can capture a few of the priceless "extra" moments too. Come say hi if you see me there!

A little flashback to TMPShootOut2021 with my friend, Matt of Stonetree Creative jumping into the booth with The Real Cortney D for a few shots.

ROUND 2 of the 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience is underway and your session date is waiting for you.

And if you’re 40, 50, 60, 70, and beyond, I’d love for you to be part of it.

During the first round, each of the 40 women who stepped in front of my camera, stepped more deeply into themselves.

Some showed up scared.
Some showed up with anxiety and apprehension.
Some showed up excited and ready to take on the day.

But they ALL SHOWED UP. They made the decision. They took the leap knowing THEY WERE WORTH IT. They knew they deserved to be photographed.
Their life documented.
To be celebrated.

And each of them left with a renewed sense of self-love, confidence and images they love.
.. Just like me.
thanks to the incredibly talented

Please join me on a fun, transformational, and incredible adventure. DM me here, or visit http://jevportrait.com for more deets.
