Meet Vanessa
Photography business education grounded in 25 years of experience
If we haven't met before, I’m Vanessa Joy. I'm a wedding, portrait & commercial photographer of 25 years, a four-time published author, and a Canon Explorer of Light, a distinction given to only five wedding photographers in the country.
Through my content, courses and mentoring, I help wedding photographers make more money, stop chasing leads, and work fewer weekends and late nights.
I teach the way I wish someone had taught me: open-book, with real numbers, from a successful business I'm running to this day.
