Today I'm talking with Jenny Bravo, a portland based food photographer, prop curator, studio owner, trained chef, certified health coach, and mom of two. Jen's work seamlessly weaves between drool-worthy styled food, clever product shots, and images that show greater brand stories, such as a recent series she photographed for Luke's Lobster. As if that all wasn't enough, we're here to talk about income diversification for food photographers, because Jenny also has a stunning pottery line with Campfire Pottery. It's safe to say this girl can do it all, and I'm hoping that this conversation will let me absorb just a bit of her superpowers through osmosis. I'll keep you posted on that.

Saying ‘Look, this is important to me, and maybe you don’t fully understand what it is, but I need time to work and to write.’ “--- Jenny “Being by other people gives you new ideas and new perspectives.” --- Ashley “Everyone has a unique experience and relationship with the world. I would be doing a disservice to people who are reading my book and to the art itself if I were cocky enough to think I could create everything on my own and not have this dialogue with other people who have had way different life experiences.” --- Jenny “Our first drafts are just going to be really awful . . . After I got that out of my system, I could write something people would actually want to read.” --- Jenny “If you don’t at least start something, you’re never going to be able to work to improve it.” --- Ashley On blogging: “I never wanted to be teaching people things that I hadn’t experienced myself.” --- Jenny “Instead of focusing on ‘How do I build this big following?’ focus on ‘How do I meet people who are really inspiring, and how do I meet people I can have honest conversations about writing with?’ “ --- Jenny “Those are my two main things: Having a website where people can find you, and being on Twitter where people can have a conversation with you.” --- Jenny Mini Book Club Now and Again by Jennifer Ellision Vinyl by Sophia Elaine Hanson Secrets Don't Keep by Elora Ramirez Write without Crushing Your Soul: Sustainable Publishing and Freelancing by Ed Cyzewski The Charismatics by Ashley R.
