Unique Couples Portraits

I often get suggestions for guests from viewers / listeners. When that happens I usually check out the photographer they suggested, and if I think they are a good fit for the show I reach out. Sometimes I hear back, and sometimes I don’t. In the case of today’s guest I am really glad she did.

Twyla Jones is Family and Couples photographer from Florida that was suggested by Sherra Maneri, or at least I am pretty sure that’s who it was, I can’t find the original message. When I went to check out Twyla’s work I immediately wanted her on the show. Her work in this genre is so unique. She has a knack for shapes, and color, and motion that I rarely see in that world.

I was also struck by her path to photography, a path I am seeing more and more these days. As an example, I was (and still am) an IT Consultant that transitioned into photography. My friend Matthias Hombauer was a molecular biologist that decided to give it all up to follow his dream of concert photography. Twyla Jones was a histologist at a pathology lab that wanted to spend more time with her family and traveling. Lucky for us, her husband suggested she ditch the phone for a real camera, and now she travels the world following her passion.

Twyla is not only a working photographer, but she’s also an educator. She has two online workshops, one for marketing and one for editing, and she offers mentoring in subjects ranging from live shoots to editing, posing, business, marketing and more.

Join Twyla Jones and me as we jump into the world of family and couples photography, while examining her amazing minimalist portrait of a couple going to bed.
