I recently attended Jane Thomson’s 3-hour workshop, and it was a game-changer for my dog portrait photography. Jane’s insights and techniques helped me refine my approach in ways that truly elevated my work. Thanks to her training, I was able to tweak a few key aspects of my process, and the difference has been remarkable. Her teaching style is clear, practical, and packed with value, making it easy to apply her tips right away. I highly recommend Jane’s workshop to anyone looking to take their craft to the next level. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, there’s something to learn from her expertise. Thanks Jane

“Jane Thomson is an exceptional mentor in the world of dog photography! Her online coaching session was an invaluable investment in my passion for the art. With her guidance, I was able to overcome obstacles and navigate through frustrations, emerging with newfound clarity and confidence. Throughout the session, she expertly led me through studio setup, shooting techniques, and post-processing, ensuring every moment was filled with learning and inspiration. Jane's dedication to providing personalized guidance and insightful feedback even beyond the session itself truly sets her apart. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor to guide me on this creative journey. You won't regret booking a coaching session with Jane!”

"I first discovered Jane’s images of dog and people portraits on Instagram and was a bit mesmerized by the soft and intimate quality of her lighting approach. I reached out to her in hopes she did coaching and was so glad to discover she did. Her step by step guidance after just on Zoom call with me transformed the look of my portraits. She also took the time to screen share her editing musts in Photoshop, which was invaluable in me elevating my own personal photography style. I would recommend Jane to anyone considering her as a coach, it is money well spent!"

"When I first reached out to Jane, I was just starting in studio dog portraits. I was still figuring out my style, and Jane’s amazing photography spoke to me and drew me in. Jane was fantastic during our Zoom call. She is an open book. Whatever question I asked, she answered fully and even gave me the resources to help me further. I still have the notes full of names and websites and diagrams of Jane’s lighting and studio set up. You will 100% love having Jane as your mentor."

“I’ve admired Jane’s studio work from afar in Australia, so when I learned about her coaching I jumped at the opportunity. We spent three hours together via Zoom last Thursday and it was amazing. Jane tailored our session to work on what I needed and I came away incredibly inspired to get back to work in my own studio with fresh perspective. Jane’s dog Phoebe was equally obliging my and did a wonderful job as muse. Thank you Jane, you are a star!”

“Jane’s training session was off the charts. What she showed me in the almost 4 hours we spent talking is invaluable. She takes time to know about you and then teach you what you need. If you are looking for a mentor/coach in studio pet photography she is the master”

"I was part of a group coaching session. Her expertise and skill was shared without any hold back, delivering her methods and answering all our questions fully and even taking the extra time to demonstrate techniques we asked about. I look forward to getting into my studio to see what I can do now"

"I can’t recommend Jane’s services highly enough. I engaged with her for coaching to help me fine-tune my photography lighting and editing skills. She was extremely generous with her knowledge and provided honest, direct, and actionable feedback on my existing portfolio to help me really make it pop. I don't think you can go wrong hiring Jane - whether it's for a portrait session (her work is stunning) or for individual coaching"
