    Psychologist + Photographer

    J. Anne Photography

    Hi, I'm Jodi.

    I’m the heart behind J. Anne Photography, the psychologist behind The Posing Method, and the unapologetic voice behind The Posers Podcast.

    With a Master’s degree in Educational and School Psychology and over 17 years behind the camera, I blend behavioral science and creative direction into a photography experience that’s as powerful as it is beautiful.

    I’m on a mission to rewrite the rules of posing—not with stiff templates or fake laughter—but with a proven, psychology-backed method that creates real connection, effortless emotion, and images that actually feel like the people in them.

    Whether I’m helping photographers break free from awkward shoots or helping them build six-figure, word-of-mouth empires through better posing psychology, I teach from the trenches—with candor, wit, and an obsession for human behavior that makes my work unforgettable.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to mix heart, science, and strategy into a thriving photography business—this is it.


    This is for:

    • Photographers who are tired of wrestling with crossed arms, forced smiles, and "do we really have to do this?" energy from dads and grooms.

    • Family and wedding photographers who want their shoots to feel effortless, even when half the people there would rather be watching football.

    • Photographers ready to lead every shoot with calm confidence (and zero resentment bubbling under the surface).

    • Anyone who wants to stop dreading the dad dynamic and start dominating it (in the best way).
