Hi, I’m Vanessa Joy. I’m a wedding and commercial photographer, photography business coach, Canon Explorer of Light, and four-time published author.

After more than 25 years in photography, I’ve learned a lot about making images under pressure and running a business. Some lessons came from experience. Others came from expensive mistakes.

My books share practical lessons on posing, lighting, off-camera flash, pricing, sales, and marketing.

If you’re unsure which part of your photography business to work on next, I’ve made it easy to find a place to begin:
