New Year, New Focus for Tea with Jainé

February 3, 2021 Jaine Kershner

It's hard to believe that Tea with Jainé is almost three years old. I created Tea with Jainé because I wanted a way to give back to the photography community and help educate wedding photographers with real advice and tangible tips.

What started out as an Instagram series later morphed into more than I could have ever imagined but recently, I've been struggling to find my focus. I was doing a lot but it felt like I wasn't doing enough.

So, over the holidays, I read Chillpreneur which immediately resonated with me, and by the time I was done with the book, I had a very clear vision for my next steps. Don't you just love that?

Tea with Jaine - A Podcast for Wedding Photographers

Here's what's in store for Tea with Jainé:

The Tea with Jainé Podcast will become our main focus point of education. I will continue to bring you thoughtful insight, real advice, and tangible tips about what it's really like to be a wedding photographer. I'll interview other business and industry leaders so that we can help you create and grow a profitable business.
Our blog will continue to be a resource for wedding photographers. Read recent posts, listen to our latest podcast, learn about new offers and partner collaborations.
More education emails will be arriving into your inbox bi-monthly.
Our Tea with Jainé education online shop will continue to expand with more easy to use templates, guides, and courses.
Our New 1:1 or Done for You Wedding Submission Curations will be the only additional service offered.
No Change: I will continue to teach at conferences and workshops.
No Change: Our 1:1 Coaching Services are available - 4 spots per month

So, what's being discontinued?

Due my own lack of consistency and unable to find time to record new segments, there will be no more Tea with Jainé IGTV videos but don't worry, I plan on having many impromptu and scheduled Instagram LIVES throughout the year where we'll be able to chat in real time!
Missed a show? IGTV archive will always be available if you missed or want to rewatch a previous episode.
Springboard sessions will no longer be offered.
No more In Person Meetups or Google Meet video chats. I loved seeing & meeting you in-person and online but with the stress of the pandemic, I'm no longer able to host these type of events.

Phew, that was a lot!

I'm so beyond grateful to have you in our Tea with Jainé community and I cannot wait to continue to inspire, educate, and help you build a profitable and successful wedding photography business that supports your dreams!
