Over twenty years of coaching and training experience has led me here.
Teaching others has been part of my DNA since I was young. With three younger siblings and an obsession for playing "school", I've been perfecting my skills my entire life. Once I entered the workforce, I consistently found myself in positions where I was responsible for leading, training, and/or coaching others...and I loved every second of it. I have a knack for translating things in a way that anyone can understand, whether it be verbally or visually. My last "corporate" job before I went full time with MJP gave me the opportunity to be a Learning & Development Specialist, where I was able to earn my Instructional Design certificate and become a DISC Facilitator.
Being in various roles in retail management for over twenty years has also given me the experience of running a business from many different aspects. This is what has helped me be so successful when starting my own business over five years ago! Combine alllllllll of that with my passion for photography, and you'll see why adding an educational aspect to MJP is a no brainer for me!

UPCOMING SPEAKING EVENTS

The Larimore
We're hosting a vintage wedding with all sorts of toys and trinkets. The Secret Garden Styled Workshop was pulled straight from the pages of the children's classic novel. Explore the magical garden world from behind your lens on the grounds of The Larimore.
Every workshop contains a social hour with snacks and refreshments so that vendors, venues, hosts, and photographers can network. Following the social hour, photographers dive into the hour-long workshop containing five highly designed photography stations. After the workshop, the venue is open to a free shoot period where photographers can stretch their legs and apply their new skills outside of workshop instruction.
Workshop registration for photographers is $100, with 5 spots available. We are also looking for 1 videographer for this event.
