Shadow & Light
Collective
Jarrett Timmons · Since 2010
Hello, I'm Jarrett
Sixteen years behind the camera
I've photographed weddings since 2010 and boudoir since 2016, including eight years running my own studio. Shadow & Light is where I share the craft, the business side, and the things I wish someone had told me when I started.
The Guides
Everything I wish I knew
The Boudoir Playbook
Everything I Wish I Knew
- Should I do this? Trust, gear, and whether boudoir pays
- Getting started without a studio
- Light, posing flows, directing, wardrobe, editing
- Pricing, selling, marketing, my 10-step client system
- A real Black Friday campaign, post by post
- Ten years in: my work from 2016 to today
The Handbook
An Introduction to Photography
- Before you shoot: cameras, lenses, focus, metering
- Seeing light, plus a full chapter on off-camera flash
- Exposure without the guesswork
- Composition, posing, and telling a story
- Culling, editing, exporting, backups
- Going pro: niche, portfolio, pricing, first clients
No gatekeeping. No one right way.
Just the craft and the business.
Mentorship
Sit down across from me
For photographers who want to shoot boudoir, or already do and want it to become a real business. We work on whatever is actually holding you up: posing and directing, pricing, finding clients, or a website nervous clients feel safe booking from.
Consultations are free.

Still worth a look
Shadow & Light has had a few seasons. These projects are quiet right now, but every video, episode, and conversation is still up and still useful. Some of it may come back.
