Out of curiousity, who shot the video for Jasmine?

Hello,

Je consulte www.creativelive.com depuis quelques semaines et je me suis résolu a participer moi aussi.

Qui suis-je, je me nomme Seb j'ai 23 ans et j'habite a Lyon.
J'adore le foot et les femmes mais je détestes les féministes lol.

J'aime le cognac et on dit que désormais chaque motard doit posséder deux éthylotests dans sa boite gant.
Ce forum ma mit la puce a l'oreil: http://www.hoaxbuster.com/forum/ethylotest-obligatoire-et-lobbying
1) Pouvez-vous me dire si c'est une arnaque?
2) Avez-vous une idée si je peux m'en procurer pour pas cher?

Merci d'avance.

PS: Désolé si c'est hors-sujet, parce que je n'ai personne avec qui en parler a part vous, ma consommation d'alcool est un sujet difficilement abordable dans la famille.

It's a amazing spot for snowboarding, as well as things like in which.

Northern Brand new Brunswick is actually covered with this Appalachian Mountain range within your Eastern Canadian woodlands ecoregion , while using northwestern part of the province comprising this out of the way and tough Miramichi Highlands as well as the Chaleur Uplands plus the Notre Dame Mountain tops , using a highest elevation on Mount Carleton of 817 l (2,680 legs).

Any advice appreciated, thanks !

How your day is going?

Just wondering when the winners will be announced. I'm going mad checking this every other hour! haha.

I missed it too...ack...I would love to win a copy of Jasmine's magazine...and will probably buy one because Jasmine is so amazing and has been a huge inspiration in my life. I followed her old blog as well as her new one and feel like we grew up together. I would probably ask Jasmine a "remember when?" question over coffee just because of her genuine transparency early on. I believe Jasmine Star, I believe IN Jasmine Star and am so grateful for her. Thanks Jasmine...

I just missed it!!!! Well I would ask her how she grew to become the fabulous amazing woman we see today? I know her background , her history, her story, I want to know all the stories she is too (insert verb here, i.e. embarassed, self conscious, etc) to share with the world... And how did she learn to look so put together?!? Cause I missed that class and am always such a hot mess! lol. Hugs Jasy, and congrats on tbe new endevor! Can't wait to read it!

Your photography, and your story is very inspiring. I have learnt a lot from your creative live session and from your blog and I would first love to thank you. Now I have been curious to know if you adjust sharpness, contrast, and or color in camera (In Nikon's this is call Picture Control...I'm not sure what it is called in Canon :-()?

Erma Bombeck once was quoted as saying "“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me.” Do you feel the same way?

Your beautiful smile, enthusiasm, harmonious laughter, fashion sense, all those awesome boots, always gorgeous hair, quick wittedness and humorous enlightening blogs ... you are always are so outgoing and charasmatic ... contagious in a good way ... people love you... you inspire people to be like you ... you are life changing ... Are you an angel sent from God?

Where do you get your boots?

So, why are we having coffee together? I don't know you and there must be a reason from the heavens for this. :)

In a society that is so inundated with digital photographers, I am a huge lover of film. I shoot with both, but my heart belongs to film and so often I wish I had been born in another era, perhaps in the 60s so when I came into my 20s-30s I could be practicing among a very high part of the film and newspaper industry or maybe towards the end of the 1800s when the inception of photography was so new that preserving an image on a surface was a sort of magic. Other times I wish I were alive during pioneering days so walking through the American landscape was truly a discovery behind every hill and canyon. If you could pick another time that you had been alive, what era would you pick and for what reason would you wish you had been born during that time?

Jasmine....how do you overcome self-doubt and the fear that comes with running your own photography business?

What if you hadn't left UCLA.. I like to think that our stories are similar, in that I also went and finished law school and continue to practice law, while building my photography business. I practice in the area of family law and domestic relations, and work with a lot of victims of domestic violence and lower income women. I went to law school to "save the world" (<--original, huh?) and feel blessed to be able to help so many people, but haven't been fulfilled with my law career.

**Enter Photography**

In the next two years, I am planning to leave law behind all together for photography, but sometimes struggle with giving up the career that "appears" to be the more meaningful, presitigous, academic career for photography. I tell myself that God has given me multiple gifts, and while society may perceive one to be more "meaningful," it doesn't mean that I can't make an impact in peoples' lives with my other gifts.

And so the question over coffee would be: "What role has your faith played in your decision to pursue photography over law?"

My parents are pushing me so hard towards med school and that is why I totally connect with your story about how you quit UCLA Law to pursue something that will keep you happy for the rest of your life. Well, my question is how do you take that leap of faith and make people believe in your photography?

Thanks,
Dhrumil

P.S. Love the promo video, Jasmine! I probably watched it like 50 times today. Keep it up and congratulations!

Do you ever get in a funk where you are doubting that you still producing great images, or feel like you need to reinvent yourself, and then how do you handle those feelings and keep moving forward?

*Note: I have not read the list of already posed questions, so my apologies if I have duplicated an existing question

When you photograph and edit the same thing day after day, how do you continue to have joy in your life on business.....and if your camera could be any other color, what would it be?

What is the one thing that a person should have when thinking of becoming a wedding photography?

(at Starbucks) uh, hey Jasmine, ghheesh I really wish we were supporting a local coffee shop, but anyway, so, you really can't make meatloaf? Have you tried a free form meatloaf in a large Pyrex? Works like a charm.
Just a conversation started, prob wouldn't hit her up with the big questions if we are in line for coffee, you know?

How did you move your business to the next level when you were in the early stages of your career?

Jasmine, what is one of your fondest childhood memories ?

What would be your dream non-wedding & not for profit subject / assignment to shoot?

What is the next major creative challenge you plan/hope to take on?

oh such a tough question and so many great answers! she's answered so much at CL already, too. i think i'd ask which photographers are in her collection of coffee books at home (since i'd have to assume she has some!).

Before you found success, what did you do to keep yourself motivated and enthusiastic, when life makes you want to pull the covers over your head?

My question for Jasmine is: What are your goals for the future regarding your photography business with possibly running your own studio and diversifying into children's photography from your brides?
Debbie Carlton, Carlton Creative Imaging

Here is my question

"Jasmine would you say that the learning curve for you was faster than the one for successful photographers before internet forums, you tube, creative live, and all the other free online tutorials for photography were popular, and do you think that the amateurs now have a faster learning curve as well. "

Jasmine- my husband and I are fans of yours and are a married team like you and JD. We have seen so much growth in our business since focusing on weddings. We are building relationships with other togs, gaining their trust for more referrals and getting attention of brides from our marketing. It's such an exciting time for growth but it's seems to be growing with little weddings not the grand affairs we want. Is it better to take anything during the lean start years or hold out for brand type weddings?

Jasmin, really, I don't want to ask in what to invest,how to get my name out there etc etc, I will figure that out after I know my work is at the right level,but here's a photography question, a general one...

(QUESTION FOR JS) :

Do we, "combined", I mean your generation of photographers,established spreading the word, teaching and inspiring thousands,exposing personal stories, and then my generation - the learning ones,emerging one day hopefully;those who follow the new paths and realize it more than ever than anyone can have a go...in this sense sort of....are we living in times when we make and re-difine quality photography,or are we killing it by blurring the boundaries between a true professional who makes art and a skilled snapper,dslr operator? - To give you example look where are we sitting now...starbucks, they make coffee, they do very good coffee,but does every barista makke it out of passion and love for it? does it taste and smell the same like coffee from a little italian deli on the corner of a street? (this is not question for JS)

If you could tell someone ONE thing about starting a business, what would it be?

How has your faith impacted your photography?

If there is one person you could meet, not photograph, and spend 2 hours talking to them who it and why?

If I had a chance to talk with Jasmine. I would ask here what was the most valuable thing that she has given up to follow her dream, and was it worth it?

What is on your bucket list?

Where do you shop?!!!!! LOVE your outfits and blings blings! The rest I'll get the answers in the EXPOSED magazine!
xoxo

What do you do in your down time to bring you back to YOU?

I can't imagine only asking her ONE question, she's just so fun and energetic and the seems the type of person we'd all want for our best friend. BUT if I could only ask one question, I ask her how what helpful information she could share about doing Destination shoots. And If i could sneak in another question, I would want to know what inspires her funny status updates on facebook. She's priceless :)

As you rode the roller coaster that is starting a photography business, what things did you come back to, in order to stay inspired? In other words, on days when you felt like giving up, throwing in the towel, or that your dream of owning your own photography might never come true, what did you use as inspiration to keep you going? What did you use to bring you out of your slumps?

When will there be a little J* baby, and how do you expect that to change how you run your business?

Hi Jasmine. You are constantly on the go; what is the one thing (photography or non-photography related) that you never leave home without taking?

I would ask Jasmine: If tomorrow was the last day of your life, how would you spend it and whom would you photograph (if at all)?

What was your biggest mistake and what did you learn from it?

How do you plan to balance your business with your future family (aka kids)? Will your hubby stay home? Will you hire a nanny? Will you cut back on travel and/or weekend shooting? Will you ever expand from weddings into portraits? OK, so that's multiple questions...

What's in the name "Jasmine Star"?

Polo is so adorable, what is his adoption story and has he changed you in any way since he has come into your life?

I was thinking about this ever since this post was made... and the only question that I can think of is "Are you happy?" because at the end of the day that's what matters.
Not to sound like a creepy internet stalker, but i've been following Jasmine's career for a very long time, from the days of blogspot and blu domain features. Over the years she answered all the questions that I had and the ones i didn't even know I had. So I can't think of anything to ask regarding business or photography, and i'm not the one to ask personal things. All I want is for her to be happy, so that's what i would ask.

Jasmine, what does your personal photography mean to you?

Jasmine, I follow your online everything and I cannot help but wonder, what's your soul food? What do you "feed" yourself for the never-ending enthusiasm?! I admire you so much...and just imaginary speaking I would probably jump on her neck for a hug because she is just so cool! :)))))))

So Jasmine...what is next for the J* brand?

How cool is it to be YOU???

Do you ever feel tired of fighting for your business and what do you do to combat that feeling?

I've always been curious after reading her posts on family, so my question would be, do you know any Spanish? :)

You said that you're hard on your students in order to push them to be their best, but how do you avoid pushing yourself so hard that it actually becomes counterproductive?

"Jasmine, I am painfully shy and I have a hard time talking to people I don't know. Any tips to overcoming this and getting clients to quickly feel like best friends so I can capture their true personality? You make it look so effortless."

How does your faith influence your work? Oh how I would love to chat with you about this!

How did you maintain confidence in the beginning? Did you ever pretend to be confident when you are scared outta your mind?? :)

What drives you to do what you do every day?

Could you imagine another profession, than a photographer?

What would be the ONE thing I could do everyday to Thrive & not just Survive?

How do you persevere when self-doubt sets in?

what would you love to do other than shooting?

How do remain confident enough to keep going in the beginning, when you aren't very good yet?

I love to hear about people's upbringing - I'd probably ask her about her dad... :) She posts quotes by him on Facebook and they are always an encouragement to me.

Jasmine, you've discovered yourself, built your business around who you are, and have a keen insight to see other's strengths. What is it in me that I should build on and use to strengthen my business, in other words how do I discover myself? - Yuliya M.

When you feel down, what's the one thing you tell yourself to lift your spirits?

If Jasmine Star and I were sitting at Starbucks having coffee, I would ask her (as I hand her a sheet of paper):
"Jasmine, do you mind answering in detail the questions I've listed on this paper?" ;)

What sets you apart from the rest of the world to inspire?

My question:
Do you mind if I ask you another question? I have so many of them!

I would ask her when she and JD are going to have a cute little baby?!!!

If I had a chance to sit and have coffee with Jasmine I'd ask if I could be her intern. True story.
If she said no I'd ask if I could ask another question, and then I'd ask if/what she does for shoots that are just to inspire her, not for couples. Does she have personal shoot projects?

Hey Jasmine, what does your office looking like, your hub for motivation while your not out shooting.

How do you deal with that "little voice" that causes self-doubt?

***Side note: I would arrive first and immediately hand one Starbucks gift card to her and one to JD***

Question:
I've read your post from Monday, February 13, 2006 (What came first? The chicken or the Jasmine?) many times. I can completely relate to that post. Well, now you are like a soaring EAGLE and such a great inspiration. How did this transformation happen?

I would ask her to hop on a plane with me (to Holland) to see my boyfriend and convince him to marry that same day, because there is no other Wedding Photographer I want to shoot my wedding... (Okey first get Polo and JD before we hop on the plane ;-))

I'd just be so happy to be there...

I'd ask Jasmine about *her* favorite photographers.

I'd ask Jasmine if she ever gets tired of primarily doing bridal/engagement/wedding photography and if she ever feels like working a completely different genre.

'Would you mind signing my copy of exposed'

Thanks CreativeLIVE for teaming with J* for this giveaway, in all honesty I currently can't afford to buy a copy so the opportunity to win one is brills :)

One question: What is the one lasting difference you want to leave in this world when you're gone?

If Jasmine and I were sitting at a Starbucks having coffee, I would ask her how she picked herself up and continued moving forward during those low times rather than beat herself up and not move past it all.

After a short girly chat, because after all it's always nice to chat and be friends with such an interesting and creative person like J*, I would probably ask her advice on the first necessary steps taken by a shy girl like me that would attract more potential clients and creative tasks.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
Where do you see yourself and your business in 5 years?

Sorry for a more boring technical question...but as a graphic designer and aspiring wedding photographer I am curious to know what your favorite photoshop actions are to enhance your wedding photos? Do you make your own or do you use others? Thanks for all the inspiration!

"If someone was to take your camera away from you tomorrow & tell you can never take a photo again in your life. What would you do for the rest of your days?"

How do you find time in the day to do it all?

Is there anything that you felt you should include in the Exposed mag, but that finally you decided not to include?

Me: "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" Jasmine Star: "Sure."

When are you coming to Australia?

Can you adopt me?

I would ask, Since you are exposing yourself in “Expose” what do you want others to not misunderstand about the magazine, and/or you? Hope to enjoy a copy of your magazine, and not just wonder what’s inside! Thanks for your generosity in handing out a few copies for free.

As a young kid, did you ever think that when you grow up, you'd want to be an awesome wedding photographer someday? (Or did you always want to be a wedding photographer?)

Why do you sometimes feel alone as photographer especially when you are working with your best friend/husband and have an amazing support group (us)? :)

How did Polo get his name?

Who designed those shoes? She has already taught me so much I would love to just chat girl to girl :)

I've learned so much from Jasmine over the years, in person and online! The only question I have left is if she would shoot my wedding someday! ;-)

First off I think it is so wrong that we only get to ask one....I have like eighty but I think this one would cover them all. If I moved to California for a year would you be my photography tutor and bestie and let me follow you around and learn everything I can about business, photography, life and keeping an upbeat attitude even when you get knocked down?

Photographing is one thing but not being able to create any success with it is the driving force to your business. So When does photography as a business seem like it is worth the struggle?

Jasmine, life is short and you obviously aren't in the business of wasting yours. With that said, how have you come to savor life & seize the day the way that you do?

As a newbie, I soak up your words of advice, and I can't wait to read your new publication. My question: What is the best advice you can give me in my struggle to achieve THE BEST color, sharpness, and brightness with my monitor so that I can be rest assured that what I have edited is being viewed in its best light?

I've read a lot about her journey, so my question would be, coming from a fellow shy gal, how did she manage to break out of quiet mold and become the confident bundle of fabulousness she is now?

And if I could book her for my wedding even though I'm not engaged yet...oh, and um, I kinda don't have a boyfriend right now either. But I'd totally let her choose the day! :)

Jasmine,now since your are now an editor of your own magazine-my question to you is, will you be spending more time doing the magazine or weddings.

What keeps you going everyday?

Once you said on Creative live that when the clients dont like you then you are not the photographer they need
How did you learn that?

I would be happy to just sit and listen to Jasmine's voice!I would ask her, "What inspires you?" I know that is a question that could lead anywhere, and keep Jasmine talking for hours!

What do Polo and JD have in Common other than being madly in Love with you (J*)?

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Would you be my neighbor?

Do I have what it takes?

Would you do me the honor of signing my copy of Exposed?

Hmm, just ONE question... When you were starting... Feeling down and thinking you'll never "make" it (yes, come on we all have those moments!)... What pulled you up and out of that discouragement? In those moments when you doubted your talent or ability, what helped?
That... And will you be my friend?!

Jasmine has become such an inspiration to me, has helped me believe in myself and find my own way to "be fabulous". I'd like to tell her thank you so much!

My question to Jasmine would be: "Having lived the experience from the start of pursuing your dreams to today, what do you wish you would have known, but didn't, when you first began?"

Jasmine Star has been such an amazing inspiration to me. I am so much more the self I once only dreamed about and I am so grateful for all that Jasmine does to support and motivate others. Thank you Jasmine!

I find so many art forms outside of photography inspiring and recharging for my muse. If you had to pick the one art form that you find most inspiring (and that makes you want to look at photography in a new way), who/what would it be and why?

(Thanks for all that you do with your beautiful soul!)

Simple. Can we be friends?

My question to Jasmine would be, "What are the top three things what you would share as advice/encouragement to a photographer just starting out?"

Wow! Congrats Jasmine! I'd have soooo many questions. My most burning one would be how do you (and is it even possible) to separate Jasmine Star the business from Jasmine Star the person?

You've made such a huge impact in the photography industry but when it's all said and done, what do you want your legacy to be?

Thanks for all you do!

This is what I would ask, "If you could go back in time and photograph a wedding whether it be your favorite artist, someone famous or one of your relatives, who and where would you photograph?"

How do you find the courage to expose yourself - the good, the bad and everything in between?

By the way, you rock J* and I admire how you can put it all out there. I wish I knew the trick to doing that myself.

Which struggle or obstacle that you've experienced along the way has made you grow the most in your photography, and meant the most to what you've accomplished so far?

In a sea full of photographers with tons of talent, style, and different photographic visions, how did you find your own vision that truly represents you and your style?

Dang it -- someone stole my question!! Okay...re-tooling...

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what plans have you made to get there?

I (and my computer) are really bogged down by all the photos I take and post-process. I would ask her: What is your method for organizing all the photos you take throughout the years?

I'd ask her if she could host a wedding workshop anywhere, which location would she choose?

I'd ask her what she sees in me that's unique to the industry that I can leverage like to my advantage like she did!

If you had a time machine, what one person, group, or event from ALL of history would you pick to take photos of?

Jasmine, you're awesome! Congratulations on the new magazine - your revolutionary ideas are so inspiring!

If you could tell yourself just one thing when you first started out, what would it be?

Do you have a plan for "coasting" out of full-time photography business, and do you have ideas for what you want to do after it is no longer your main job?
Of course...photographers don't really ever stop photographing all together :)

I would like to ask Jasmine for tips on how to keep things fresh when shooting at wedding venues that you've shot dozens of times before.

Would you be willing to mentor me? :)

So....what did you get to drink?

You appear to be an extremely busy photographer. What do you do to prevent burnout?

If there was one thing in your life's experience of which you could have a "do-over", what would it be and why?

I would ask: "What should the average wedding photographer do that would add value, originality or substance that they're not already doing?"

When you took that huge leap of faith to leave law school and follow your desire/dream to be a photographer how did you keep your own faith in this huge risk? Inside myself I think I take good pictures, my clients like them, bit I always tell myself I am not good enough yet to do it full time. I constantly shoot all kinds of things and I have been published, but the feeling of security holds me back.

What's the one thing you've always wanted to do but haven't had the opportunity yet?

How do you get such great photos of yourself to use for promotion?? Seems like a challenge for me... to get a photo of myself that meets my own standards. Thanks!

OMGosh!! One question?? How unfair is that?? After I finish gushing all over her, if I can still talk sanely, I would ask her how she gets her own family to sit still long enough to get photos of them?? Nearly impossible for me!

Dear JS,

"If J* were looking for second shooter cause JD is out of town during an important assignment and she decided to give a chance to a total novice, what is 'the one quality' you think she would look for in the interviewee??

If I was to be the interviewee... what would you... Jasmine Star, suggest on how should I prepare so as to be noticed and picked by J* as the second shooter??

- JS

My question for Jasmine would be, "What is your favorite famous iconic photograph and why is it your favorite?"

Simple,

Throughout these recent years people have asked you, probably thousands of questions, and you've answered some thousands as-well. My question is "What is the one question, that you feel people should ask more, but they're not asking?"

This is pretty hard, I mean when a photographer and a photographer sit down, there usually isn't a quiet moment! I guess it would be, "so, what now? After all these accomplishments, I'm sooo curious!"

Jasmine, how would YOU pick a wedding photographer?

What's your favorite Justin Bieber song? Haha, just kidding. My question is, what one piece of advice do you have for someone who is just trying to start their business after slowly building confidence for the past few years?

How does it feel to own a magazine, instead of keeping your fingers crossed to be featured in one?

If you could add 3 people to this table with us (dead or alive) who would they be.

How do you talk yourself through the fear? You are constantly growing and breaking new ground - redefining yourself. Any advice on how you've managed to drown out the self doubt and leap onward?

I know a successful photography business is more than just equipment. But mine is equipment related... If you could only shoot a wedding with one lens and one camera, what combo would it be?

Thanks!

John V.

I'm truly inspired by you personally, as well as by your business ethic. My one question to you would be: How, especially at the beginning of your career in times of self-doubt, did you manage to find the strength to still follow your passion.

There are always risks and you might have taken some along the way. What was your approach to deciding which risks were worth taking along your journey to J. Stardom?

There are people out there who shroud themselves and simply allow for their work to represent them and never let fans or followers understand the true artist within. What made you decide to lay everything on the table and share not only your talent and knowledge, but yourself as a person (your insecurities, vulnerabilities, mistakes, history, love, hopes, dreams, ups and downs) with the entire world not only through your photography, but through interviews, trainings, your blog and more?

Jasmine, I'd have to ask you how you continue to find inspiration as a photographer? This is maybe one of the greatest challenges most photographers face, I think.

Do you know where we can get a good cup of coffee?

My question would be:
After so many goods and bads, what do you think would be the best investment to start a business in photography? [talking about time, personal life, equipment and inspiration.]

You are an inspiration to thousands of photographers around the world, where do you derive your inspiration from?

Why do you insist on dressing Polo in those ridiculous outfits? He's absolutely adorable as it is and he always looks so embarrassed in the photos.

My one question to Jasmine would be:
Besides photography, Polo and JD... what in life truly makes you come ALIVE?

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman

How would you suggest to an beginning photographer how to "getting their name out there" so they can get their "first paying" client?

My question would be:
What do you think would be the best investment to start a business in photography? [talking about time, personal life and equipment]

Then I would enjoy her awesome company to have some fun and dicuss about her trip to Brazil... and shots to take over here... and... and...

What is the biggest thing that YOU personally have gained by exposing your vulnerabilies and sharing your story/techniques/shooting philosophy with others?

First of all ill tell her how much of an inspiration she is, not because of the moment you capture because of how possionate she is, you make me want to follow my dreams, and my question would be: how do you manage to stay in the ground, to be as Cool as you are, with all the things you have acomplished?... You always seem to be happy, thankful, and never make others look smaller than you... At the contrary!! You rock :)

I would like to ask Jasmine Where does she draw her inspiration from?

 How do you get past the everyday struggle to make a living and begin to realize that your passion or true love were more important than just a steady organized job?

Other than asking if Jasmine could come to Paris for a workshop, and would simply ask her what's her next project.

My question would be: When you get overwhelmed and consumed with photography, what are the things that help you gain clarity and continue on with gusto and enthusiasm?

I'd ask her what drives her to keep chasing greatness!

If you were given one opportunity in your life to change, do over, rectify...what would be that one thing in the one opportunity?
Kudos to your continued success.

I will absolutely ask her and JD to come to Ecuador :) I would love to have these two at my house and show them my country, ask her also how she manages work and wife´s live, I need some advice on that! and finally how JD accepted to work with her I am trying to convince my husband but it is not working

I can not even begin to describe how excited I am for this!! What an awesome idea and adventure and I'm actually really glad she kept it secret until it was ready to go. ONE question??? I don't know if I can possibly narrow it down... especially since I'm sure we all feel like we know her so well because she is so open in everything she does. I think I'll go with asking her when I can come be her second (third!) shooter for some weddings :)

It's fantastic to watch Jasmine continually "breaking the mold" (CLive, this magazine, etc.) and be among the lucky people to truly benefit from it! A question from me would be if you could start over professionally, would you do anything differently? If not, do you wish you would've gone professional earlier/later in your career?

If David Jay hadn't done such a good job at your wedding do you still think you would have taken up photography as your line of work?

What would be your dream assignment, and why?

I don't do well with harsh, unkind words. It is like being slapped in the face in public. In that moment of absolute betrayal, where do you draw your strength from so you can get back up on your feet?

How do you/do you ever move past the fear of putting your images out there for the world to see? Where do you find your validation once you've taken the leap?

Only one question? Mmmh... Jasmine, don't you think that a croissant with Nutella would be perfect with our coffee??? :-)

If Jasmine and I were sitting at Starbucks together. (Which we would only be there because Cali doesn't have Caribou....) I would ask her "if you weren't a photographer, what would your next choice of a career be?"

Making your own rules and breaking the mold is never easy, especially with the risks involved? People will have their comments and sometimes we are so concerned about what others might think. What keeps you pushing forward, despite the negativity, insecurities and obstacles you've encountered on your journey? Also, congrats on this new venture!

If I could only have one question it would be this, being as amazing as you are what goals do you have left for you and your business and how do you work on reaching them?

If I had the chance to sit with Jasmine, I would love to hear her life/photo life story most, which is why I'm excited about #exposed to hear about all of the reality. The hard times, the easy times, the joyous times. But, most of all, I'd ask her how she balances work life with home life, or how she separates the two so that her work doesn't become her only priority. My biggest fear is letting my business choke the other joys of life.
