Jenn is an award-winning portrait photographer based in Clemmons, North Carolina who concentrates on seniors and headshots. She began her photography business 11 years ago as a “mom with a camera”. With a determined work ethic and tenacious personality, she grew her part-time business from her living room to her full-time 1600 square foot studio while multiplying her sales average by 10. She is an army of one, but her ADHD helps her to multitask like a BOSS.
Jenn loves this relationship-based business. She lives to attend conferences where she has learned great business practices like combining good sales techniques and a great experience all while taking killer photos. But the networking (which usually takes place at the bar) might just be her favorite part. :)
Jenn is easily recognized by her crazy curly hair, which has been rumored to give her superpowers in her sales room. She enjoys road trips, long walks on the beach, and pink Starbursts.

Matt, along with his wife Allison, are the owners of Allison Ragsdale Photography based in beautiful Durango, CO and have been on this journey for over a decade together. After moving to Durango together, they ended up opening up the studio and used Matt’s expertise in marketing, teaching and management to build and grow their studio into what it is today. While their studio faces a lot of competition and everyone is in the market for a photographer, over time they’ve been able to discover how to refine and promote their product to attract and retain clients. Their goal is to share what they’ve learned with other photographers, help you focus your business and ultimately make a difference for your family while doing what you love.
