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!

My Fave Business Books You Need to Read!

October 15, 2019 Jaine Kershner

One of my goals for 2018 that followed me into 2019 was to read a book a month. I went for a few years without reading a SINGLE book and that was pretty shocking. So, I decided to change that and each month I read a new book to help my business and self growth. In today’s brand new Tea with Jainé IGTV video, I wanted to share three favorite business, marketing, and self help books that are making a great impact on my life. You can watch the video here and read below!

Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo

No 1 - Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller - I read this book from cover to cover within three days and absolutely LOVE this book. It’s a clear and helpful guide for you to figure out what your Brand story really is and how to create marketing content that connects with your ideal client. There is a lot o f homework in this book so be prepared with a pen and paper. I purchased a softcover copy from Amazon after borrowing it from the library because I wanted to have it on hand with me at all times to refer too. So happy I did that because I read it all the time!

No. 2 - Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis - It’s no secret how much I loved Girl, Wash Your Face that came out last year. That book TRULY changed my life, my mindset, and the pat of my business. Girl, Stop Apologizing is the follow up to that book that gives you the hands-on tangible tips to get your stuff DONE and get your life moving in the right direction. You can also pick up the Audio Book if you’re busy and want to listen on the go!

No. 3 - Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Folero - All I’m going to say is HECK YES I love this book so much! Marie is a powerhouse coach for women and I love everything she represents and teaches. This book is so powerful it’s going to make you do the hard work to get past your fears, face your dreams, and start making them happen. Everything is Figureoutable is literally my new mantra because in the end, it ALL is capable even if you don’t know it yet. You can grab the Audio version here too.

Each of these books speaks to different sides of my life and business that I want to grow and explore. As a wedding photographer, small business owner, defining my “Brand” is something I was never taught - so having a book to help me figure that out with crystal clear clarity is so helpful. I love Rachel and Marie so much because these strong women are helping other women like myself, embrace who they are, own their past, and determine their OWN future. I would not be here without Girl, Wash Your Face and Crushing It by Gary Vaynerchuk and for that, I am forever grateful. I hope you pick one or all of them up and enjoy them too!
