DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
I'm in a lane of photography that isn’t a good fit for me.
I feel like a shift is happening in my business, but I'm not sure what to do.
I think weddings are the only way to make BIG money in photography.
I'm not making the level of income I need or desire.
I feel constantly defeated and like everyone else has it all together while I struggle on my own.
I'd love to work in the commercial space but have NO idea how that industry works.
Our time-tested, on-the-job proven methods available to you via online education.
Online Education from Erica + Jon!
Our personal journey of transitioning from wedding + lifestyle photography into the brand photography space inspired us to help educate others looking to do the same. We faced so many stumbling blocks along the way.
So many hard learning curves we paid tuition to learn ourselves through - whether emotionally or financially. Our online courses take those hard-learned lessons and bring them together in cohesive, replicable systems YOU can follow.
E+J SIGNATURE COURSE
Our signature course! Learn our A-to-Z process of getting inside a brand client's head and styling photos to build their brand.

"I just finished the P+S course and wanted to tell y’all that you NAILED IT! The brand photography market was in desperate need of better educational content and you really came through! The live demos were my FAV and I’m so excited to be a part of your growing community!"
"Ya'll NAILED it!"
— Katherine S. / Brand Photographer
"Not only are these two amazing photographers, but their heart for education and sharing their knowledge is unparalleled! The phrase "you don't know what you don't know" was never so true! Thank you again Erica + Jon for your time, expertise, and heart for others — I so appreciate it!"

It took us making the first step - making the scary decision to invest in the mentoring we knew would revolutionize our business. It was a tough decision since we already felt like we were barely treading water financially, but we knew the investment would pay off dividends.
We chose to trust the process and we’re so glad we did! Our business coach felt like the life preserver and motivation we needed to take us to the next level.

My name is Maddie, and I am an Erica + Jon fan girl ;) When I found out they were offering mentoring, I jumped on the opportunity. They are a wealth of knowledge on the topic of business, but also so approachable. I had specific questions and they got right down to business, answering them all. It felt amazing to finally talk to someone who understood exactly what I was talking about, and had been in my shoes! I feel so much more equipped to taking on my growing client now thanks to these two!
"Highly recommend Erica and Jon as photography mentors!"

I found out about Erica and Jon at the right time where my business was evolving into a new direction. I suggested my new idea, they were very helpful had a great insight and were very encouraging. They understood what I was trying to achieve and proved me that I can do it. They explained why it would work and recommended actions to take. My mentoring session with Erica and Jon has been a great experience. I would highly recommend them!

Erica and Jon are incredibly talented photographers. I searched for photographers all over the country when looking for advice on how to start my own photography business. They were incredibly kind and took the time to answer every one of my questions thoughtfully. Their expertise in brand photography was obvious and I'm grateful that I had the chance to learn from them. After our call I made just a few of their suggested changes to my website and saw results the very next day!
"Highly recommend Erica and Jon as photography mentors!"
