Hello, I'm Jade

I'm your instructor for this course. I've been a photographer for nearly 10 years and have built an amazing photography brand called Fable and Fig, based in South Australia! 

Although I totally do not look like this in my everyday life (You'll know if you follow our instagram page), I am super excited for you to come along this journey with me! 

My all time fav thing about owning a photography business isn't really the whole running a business things - It is actually the work perks I get - being able to take AMAZING photos of my own kids, whenever I want.. and I want that for you too! 

I'd love to see you inside the course!
