I'm Twyla Jones
I've got a head full of dreams and a heart for helping struggling artists connect with the tools they need to find success.
I love nothing more than a long conversation brainstorming new marketing ideas or how to get super creative and raw for an upcoming photoshoot.
I'm one of those photographers that has forgotten how to have a conversation about anything else, and I'm okay with it.
Hey!
Attracts price shopping clients that are difficult to please
Sends you scouring Pinterest for posing ideas before every shoot
Has you buying a new set of presets every couple of months
You already do, and I can show you.
I'm a photographer, educator and mentor and have shared my 'no secrets' approach to education with photographers all over the world.
With this philosophy, I help frustrated and struggling photographers uncover their unique style and voice that actually connects with their people instead of one that….
Ever wish you had something unique to offer and could make a great living doing it?
Definitely NOT where I had envisioned myself after graduating with a degree in human biology. I was poor, uninspired and suddenly had two children to support.
Maybe it was all the extra coffee I was drinking to compensate for the all night nursing sessions, but something sparked inside me and told me it was time.
I picked up a camera and built…what feels like an empire….with nothing. Soon, we moved from Kansas to Florida, and I bought my dream jungle house near the beach where I homeschool my three wild sons.
I STARTED OFF WORKING IN A PATHOLOGY LAB AND LIVING IN A TRAILER
I'm speaking from experience, because...
my story
I'm probably eating sushi and doling out endless snacks to kids, while I sip some locally brewed hard cider.
currently...
In between sips and bites I'm brainstorming a million ways I can help you speed up and automate all the boring stuff so you can get paid to live a more creative life.
I'm not just saying that for a website. I'm quite obsessed with efficiency and systems and pride myself with being the go to person for all things tech and photography.
Taking photos is my career and knowing it all is my hobby.
Be intuitive (easy enough to figure out I don't have to watch a million youtube tutorials)
Look amazing (make me look more professional and design savvy than I am)
Cost efficient (do the job I would pay someone to do for me for a fraction of the price)
Save me time (I've got some cider sipping and pool floating to do)
My Favorite Things
I've obsessively trialed nearly every piece of software, app and tool being marketed to photographer's. To make it into my inner circle, this resource must meet my very strict qualifications:
"ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE PEOPLE I’VE EVER MET and been photographed by."
Twyla is full of light and magic! I’ve been photographing people for 6 years and I’m constantly amazed at how how she does it. She’s a remarkable businesswoman with a heart for education and I feel privileged to say she’s captured me and I’ve learned from her. Thank you Twyla for sharing your light with the world.

"For over a year I had marveled at Twyla's gracefully captivating work."
I took her class on Click Photo school and I was HOOKED. I finally decided to book an all day mentoring session with her and it was a day that I'll relive time and time again in photography career. She was so down to earth, raw and real. She held back no amount of information from my numerous questions, nor did she make me feel for a minute that my own work was less than beautiful. I now not only feel like I've got a thousand tricks up my sleeve, but I've also gained a friend and beautiful soul.
