Meet your mentors

Ash rADDATZ & JENNA SHOULDICE

For the past 10+ years, we’ve helped thousands of photographers find their voice, refine their vision, and build businesses and work rooted in meaning, sustainability, and impact.

There’s a growing hunger for real, honest, emotionally-resonant imagery.
Publications, galleries, and clients are all looking for work that stands out and says something.

And the photographers who are clear on their voice and strategy?
They’re the ones getting chosen, getting the clients, the exhibits, the opportunities.

We’ve helped photographers at every stage- those just picking up a camera, and those who’ve been doing this for years- get published, land exhibits, build businesses that actually pay them, and step into roles as creative leaders in their communities

“I loved my experience working with both of them.”

You will not regret No More F*ckin' Around! The support and accountability was absolutely wonderful and resulted in a massive growth in both my confidence and skills. The way that Jenna teaches and mentors both challenged and supported me to take more risks and develop a much stronger sense of personal style and voice in my work. Ash's classes on business and branding have helped me to distill my "why" down to an easy to explain message that has helped me reach more clients. I loved my experience working with both of them.

-Jordan Lyall

“…This was the best thing I could have done for my business and photography; it was worth every penny and every hour of Zoom…I want it to never end.”

I loved No More F*ckin’ Around. Amazing class! I was very ambivalent about signing up and did on the last possible day. This was the best thing I could have done for my business and photography; it was worth every penny and every hour of Zoom. I learned so much from these fantastic women and made so many amazing friends!

I will miss this class so much and I am tearing up just thinking about it.

-Jenn Nilsen

“This program is not just about photography, it’s about life. After this program, I am not just a better photographer, I am also a better person.”

NMFA was a changing point for me. Not only because you gave me strength to push out of my comfort zone and lean into my creativity, but because of your encouragement and lessons, I have the courage to photograph MY way. This program allowed me to know what my own voice is and that it is different than anyone else. I finally SEE and know what my vision and voice is - Thank you so much for that!

This program is not just about photography, it’s about life. After this program, I am not just a better photographer, I am also a better person.

-Raquel Ponte

“…Life Changing!”

Connecting with other photographers who are within a wide range of business/experience/development and helping others while having the supportive networking from those further along than I am. Getting to know three fabulous instructors who gave 100,000% of themselves and their time to us…

Life changing!

-Allexandra D.

“…a beautiful way of guiding you…”


What a freaking blast this class is. The learning includes photography, of course, but Jenna Shouldice and Ashleigh Raddatz have such a beautiful way of guiding you into yourself and the world around you through photography.

-Sarah Lappano

“…one of the best leaps of faith I've taken… they pushed with compassion, support, and a commitment to each student's growth.”

Signing up for the NMFA program was one of the best leaps of faith I've taken. I was a newbie and went in very intimidated. The talent in the class was incredible, but Ash Raddatz and Jenna Shouldice always met each student where they were with nothing but support and non-judgment. They took the time to get to know everyone individually and guided us all to find our own voice. It's not all fluff though; they will push you, they will push you hard. (I cried a few times, no lie.) But I was back the next week and better for it because they pushed with compassion, support, and a commitment to each student's growth. I grew so much as a photographer and learned how to market in a way that matched my values and my goals. And as a bonus, I laughed more times than I can count and created the most amazing friendships along the way (they don't charge extra for that). Do it!!

-Amy Jarrett

FAQ

  • Group Zoom sessions take place on Wednesdays at 10:00 am PST / 1pm EST / 7pm Berlin.

    Group sessions are 3-4 times per month, with the other Wednesday of the month saved for one-on-ones (for those who choose the 1:1 option). You will schedule the time on the mentors’ calendar that works best for you that month.

  • It’s no problem if you miss a live session.

    All live group sessions are recorded and will be uploaded to the education platform for you to access.

  • The Short Answer:
    You don’t wait to strengthen your roof until the storm has passed. You fortify while it’s still raining. That’s what this mentorship is: shelter, structure, and a damn good flashlight to help guide the way.

    The Long Answer:

    Things feel uncertain in the world right now, and we don’t want to pretend otherwise.

    But, uncertain times are exactly when photographers and creative business owners need the most support.

    This program helps you adapt, not wait it out. (And we have plenty of experience adapting as our first run took place during Covid lockdowns).

    This mentorship isn’t about throwing money at a trendy course. It’s about building the skills, systems, and mindset that help your business survive and thrive in any season.

    • You’ll learn how to attract the right clients, even when the market shifts

    • You’ll build a business that isn’t dependent on guesswork or doing things that don’t move you forward

    • You’ll finally stop spinning and start making intentional and intuitive moves in your work and business leading to repeat clients and profit

    And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be surrounded by mentors and a community who have your back.

    So yes, it’s an investment. But it’s one that pays off long after the year ends.

    Because the most expensive thing you can do right now is stay stuck.

    We know not investing in yourself feels safer, but it’s often what keeps you spinning your wheels. A year from now, you’ll either be in the same place, or way further along, with us walking beside you and happy you made the leap!

  • Yes! Over the past 5+ years, we have worked with a number of students in NMFA who are just starting out in business, and others who have had a business for 15+ years.

    Our students who have been in business for 15+ years always say they wish they would have known and worked through something like this earlier.

    And our students who are new to business are so grateful to have developed and implemented a ton of new strategies and skills before wasting time, energy, and money on things that do not work for them.

  • Absolutely Yes!

    NMFA isn’t just for beginners, it’s for photographers who are ready to evolve.

    If you’ve been in business for years, this program will help you:

    • Refine your voice and portfolio to reflect where you're going, not just where you've been

    • Let go of the busywork and strategies that no longer serve you

    • Save time, energy, and money by focusing only on what actually aligns

    • Reignite your creativity and stretch beyond the “successful but stuck” feeling

    • Create a more sustainable and fulfilling practice, on your terms

    Even seasoned photographers need space for continued growth. NMFA is that space.

  • Students should have a solid understanding of the technical aspects of their camera. We consider NMFA an advanced program because it cuts out any fluff and requires actual work and implementation (which we help you with ;) And even though there is no fluff, we still have fun!). The concepts and topics covered in the program are meant to challenge you and empower you through hands-on assignments and feedback, along with deeper discussions and an analytical eye on your own work. 
    Past students have come into the program at varying skill levels, and the feedback we have received has been similar across the board… that it is a life-changing program, worth every cent.

  • Yes, NMFA can still work for you (if your goal is to have your work seen in some way).

    The photography lessons will help with developing a deeper body of work and a new way of seeing and leaning into yor voice.

    And the business lessons can be adapted to work for you. For example, the branding work instead turns into creating your artists statement and finding ways you will show up to create opportunities such as publications, exhibitions, etc.

    Almost all business lessons can be adaptable and applicable to your goals.

  • No! We have had wedding photographers, fine art photographers, birth photographers, pet photographers and more in previous program runs.

    The foundations and advanced concepts you will learn in NMFA can be applied to your work no matter the genre; however, the photography assignments are based around the documentary approach, which you can tweak to fit into your chosen approach/genre.

    NMFA aims to provide you with courage and clarity in your photography and business, enabling you to continuously grow and find success in your work no matter the genre.

  • You will have access to the content via the DFP Education platform for 24 months (12 months during the program and then an additional 12 months after). Written content and templates are available for download. so you can you will have those for life!

  • Time commitment per week will vary depending on the lesson for that week/month.
    Here is what we do know-
    You can count on weekly live group sessions (or at least 3-4 times a month as some assignments need more time before meeting again) and then one 1-on-1 per month (if you have chosen the 1-on-1 option).

    Live Group calls usually last about 1.5 to 2 hours (sometimes a bit longer) and are recorded. If needed, you can pop in and out, and if you know you are going to miss a call, you can submit your questions, photos, assignments, etc., beforehand and then watch the recording at 1.5x speed ;) 

    1-on-1s are 30 minutes (we say you can schedule for 30 mins, but obviously, we don't just cut the call at 30 mins. and 1 second ;) ), and you get to choose which time and date you want your one on ones each month. We share a scheduling calendar with you, and you select which time and day work best for you.

    For the assignments-
    During photography months, you will typically be asked to find a family or subject to photograph and to spend a certain amount of time with them (1 hour, 4-6 hours, full day) and then select photos to submit for review/critique.

    You can plan on roughly 10 hours per month during the business months, depending on the assignment/topic. Time commitment varies because some assignments take a bit more time than others and require introspective work or research. If you need to spread the time out more, you can still work on your business assignments during your photography months and submit for feedback once you have completed the assignment.

  • It's okay to be nervous! 
    There could be several reasons for the nerves, whether it be the time investment, the financial investment, the worry that you are not "good enough" for the program, or any other number of things. 
     
    Our job as your mentors is to support you through those nerves and to provide you with an encouraging environment, turning those nerves into courage. You've got this!

THE HYPE:

Making good shit happen for photographers like you

  • Jody Goodwin - Canada

    “If you’re at a place where you are stuck or feeling unsure about how to evolve your photography and/or business, No More F*ckin’ Around will help you figure out how to navigate out of that stuckness and into something you may not have realized existed in you.

    It changed my life!”

  • Laura Rush - Maine

    “No More F*ckin' Around is one of the best things I've ever done for my photography. So many benefits! The photography mentorship from Jenna is outstanding and helped me think about making images in a whole new way, and the business and marketing classes teach you how to get the best clients for you so you can show off all those great photos you'll be making. Ashleigh does a deep dive on figuring out how to display who you are as a photographer in your marketing and website so that you attract clients who want what you have to offer. I also feel like I've made real connections with other people in the class that will continue to benefit me long after our year is over. Highly recommend!”

  • Erin Byrne - Warwick, UK

    “Before I joined NMFA, I was lost, struggling to figure out how to make my photography business work. But now, thanks to Ash and Jenna, I have a clear path forward. The insights and support I received were beyond anything I could have imagined."

  • Christine Wright - New Jersey, USA

    Christine Wright - New Jersey, USA

    “I cannot believe how much I've grown after a year of No More F*ckin' Around. As a photographer, as a business person, and as a human being. Ash Raddatz and Jenna Shouldice are so amazingly knowledgeable and empathetic. They are creative problem solvers in every sense. Of course, often their sage advice was to look inside myself which was often HARD, but necessary and rewarding. Their lessons PUSHED ME harder than I've ever been pushed. I accomplished practically everything I put on my vision board for the class last year; even the areas of my life that didn't have to do specifically with photography were enriched by learning from the mentors and my cohort of smart and compassionate people.

    If you're considering enrolling, absolutely do it. Then buckle UP”

  • Megan Lefebvre - Edmonton, Canada

    "DFP has completely transformed my approach to photography and business. The blend of practical advice, emotional support, and creative inspiration is unmatched. I came in feeling uncertain, and now I feel empowered and ready to take on the world."

  • Cookie - Washington

    ”I feel as if the community is like having a friend out there who understands and whom I could reach out to for support at any time”

  • Sarah Wimmer Steffen - Wisconsin, USA

    “I already fucking love this community!!!! It's been less than a week and I've read articles that I wouldn't have, met people I wouldn't have and learned things I didn't even think about!”

“The content was beyond what I could have imagined…My overall experience with NMFA was deeply transformative…”

The content was beyond what I could have imagined…My overall experience with NMFA was deeply transformative. I signed up hoping that I would learn new systems that could help me get my so that I could maybe have a profitable business and ended the year with not only a wealth of resources on how to achieve my goals as a business owner, but a deep seated belief that to not follow through and execute these plans would be a massive disservice to myself and to clients. The NMFA mentors and experience truly helped me see that I have something to offer the world that is unique to me and my way of seeing.

-Jamie Scholberg

“Best investment I’ve made in my career”

No More Fucking Around was the best and most complete mentorship I have ever done. The mentors are amazing and extremely generous with their time and knowledge. They helped me take my art and business to a new level. Ashleigh taught me to look at marketing in a way that made way more sense and removed the overwhelm I felt from it. Jenna helped me nail down my artistic voice and grow my confidence. Best investment I've made in my career.

A Quick Note on Results:

We’re here to give you clarity, tools, support, and various strategies based on our experiences, but we can’t guarantee specific results. Your success depends on your own effort, commitment, follow-through, and unique circumstances.

Every photographer’s journey is different. We can’t predict where yours will go, but if you show up and do the work, this can be a powerful part of it and you will get a lot further than staying stuck and scrolling social media.

We give you just the real stuff that works when you work it, know what we mean?

No copy and paste, idealistic strategy that requires a severe Type A personality to keep up with (nothin’ against Type A’s btw)… because every photographer has a different background, different goals, and their own version of success. And let’s face it, us creatives are a bit messy and all over the place.
So instead of some “guru” bullshit, we give you support, clarity, and various ways to approach things, ideas, real world examples, helpful guidance, etc. and depending on your unique situation you choose what fits best for you.
