The impetus for me seeking guidance on photography is some upcoming travel, and Wes not only offered me practical advice regarding taking pictures and handling film while traveling in a foreign country, but also got me started on my film photography journey by offering a great tutorial with super helpful graphics and easy-to-understand tutoring and guidance. He followed up after our session with links to local film developing recommendations and other information I needed.

As a co-producer of the critically successful feature Other People's Children, she brings proven experience to every conversation. What truly sets her apart is her genuine desire to help others succeed. She has been incredibly encouraging, offering insightful, practical, and kind guidance that helps you navigate the complex world of film production.
