In November, I attended the fabulous Jasmine Star’s Branding Workshop- which was AH=MAZING! Jasmine and JD put together a truly wonderful day and experience for the photographers who attended…where dreams are possible.
Jasmine took the leap and started her business a few years ago- and has built it into something wonderful. Not only does she have a huge blog following, but is also a super talented photographer. I am not gonna lie- I think all of us attendees were pretty star struck! My boyfriend Mike sat next to her at dinner- and I almost said to him- move so someone who really appreciates her can sit there! Ok that would have been abit overboard but you get the idea. She is a rockstar in the wedding photography world. Oh and by the end of the trip, Mike agreed that Jasmine and JD were rockstars!
Jasmine breaks things down in such a way, that no question is silly, and that everyone is equal and can do what they love. The trick…your heart has to be in it- and YOU are your brand. Everything else will fall into place. I believe that.
Live your dream. As many of you may know- I am also a graphic designer, which has really helped me in so many ways. However, I have recently made the choice to start phasing out my design for my true love and dream. Photography is something that I LOVE beyond words- and I am so lucky to be able to share this with the world. I wouldn’t have it any other way:)
Since the workshop I have thought about my brand- Jessica Leigh Morrisy Photography. What do I want my clients to know about who I am and what my goal is as an artist and a person. I decided…and this was a BIG one for me- to have my blog and branding designed by an outside design company. I think by allowing someone else to see my vision- I might finally get the cohesive brand I have always wanted but couldn’t see for myself. Stayed tuned in the next month or so for my new look! I am jumping out of my seat excited!
So here are some shots taken at the workshop. California sunlight is just spectacular!

My favorite pic from our whole day (at MU) was a casual “Hey guy!” and we turned and said..”Hey!”… LOVE IT Jess – good work!
Ohhh, you attended Jasmine Star’s workshop! That’s one that I sooooo want to go to. Unfortunately the States are a little further away from Germany than Paris. I hope you attend the second workshop as well and we’ll be able to meet. I have the feeling it might result in a friendship. All the best to you. xoxo
P.S.: I love your style. Your photos are so clear and light. I also like the look of your website and blog.
