    Jessica, I just found you a few days ago and have been binge watching ever since. You are brilliant on too many levels to mention. I volunteer my services to a dog rescue to help get them adopted. Your sense of composition, lighting and engagement with your subject are above and beyond. Thank you and Merry Christmas to your family as well as your beautiful dogs. I cannot own that breed because I will never own a dog that is smarter than me.

    Thanx Jess,,,so timely for us. Post COVID strategy for our portrait studio: switch to pets outdoors. We put up posters at dog walk trails around town offering free sessions for doggie. No one wanted just doggie; all respondents actually wanted a portrait with their pet. Another curiosity: all respondents were women with great jobs, nice homes, fine cars. This upscale clientele demanded more from us in terms settings, posing, winter garb (black is not a good colour choice) and post edit quality. We live in an arctic climate (almost tropical at times due to climate change) where sunlight is spotty, dim and so low on the horizon it’s behind trees (great backlighting though) at 14:00hr - our best opportunity for good light. Your video has helped up our game.

    I am a dog photographer form Poand. I found your videos some time ago and I must admit I can't stop coming back from time to time to check different aspects of photographing or editing. Honestly? Your way of explaining things or just talking about things is so ...hmm.. normal, people friendly (including your english whis is soo easy to understand) that before I explain something to my clients or fans I often think - well, let's check if Jess covered the topic and how she did it. I have been recommending your channel to my dog loving friends who like to photograph. Good work and please keep it doing. I had to found some time at last and write to you. Take care

    again and again, I would watch your videos for ours. I do portraits and your tips are very useful anyway...I try and try and try doing photos to my mum cat but...she is very reluctant, so I did just some details shot, but never say never I will have to go to do some shots for a dog of a friend during a competition...don't know when and don't know what I will manage to do( considering not a super faster lens) but will apply all your tips...and will tag you for sure🙂
