Echoes of Kind Experiences

“WOW! Is the word of choice, to sum up my experience with Follow Me North. I brought a friend for a photography workshop on her birthday. Jesse encouraged my photography-newbie-friend and spent one-on-one time with her in the field. I learned a lot, as well! Jesse sure knows ‘his park’ and the wildlife that inhabits it. He delivered on my request for a moose (we saw three)! I wasn't sure what on Earth we'd do for 12 hours, but it flew by. Jesse drove us to locations known for specific landscapes, birds, and other hopeful finds. Sunrise in the mist. Stunning sunset. Who could ever ask for more? Jesse was engaging and fun to spend the day with. His life experiences are wonderful to listen to, and inspire us to keep on trekking! 100% recommend it for anyone who loves nature, the outdoors, wildlife ethics, and of course—photography!”

“I did a weekend ‘Lightroom and Light Snacks’ Workshop with Jesse and Susan, and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn Lightroom photo editing to brush up on their skills and even take them to the next level! From the moment I walked into their home, Jesse and Susan made me feel like family. I wish I had met them two years ago. I would have saved myself countless hours of frustration with different editing software. It was a fantastic learning experience in every way! They are very kind and went above and beyond to answer every question. I also appreciated the follow-up videos from the weekend. We were able to focus on learning, knowing everything would be sent to us later.”

“Susan is one of the most committed, passionate and capable Producers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From the day she joined our team, Susan was always the first person to put her hand up for the most challenging assignments, complex strategic projects, pilot programs, and cross-functional think tanks that drove innovation at Flashstock and Shutterstock alike. Susan always comes from a place of putting the customer experience first, and as such, she was instrumental in significantly expanding business with enterprise clients who had been referred specifically as a result of her work with other divisions, and who asked for her by name to be their dedicated Producer and brand champion.In addition to her exemplary work as a photo and video Producer, Susan is also an extraordinarily talented photographer, creative, casting director, location manager and all-around problem solver. She not only has vision, but she also sees things through down to the finest logistical detail. This truly makes her a unicorn in the creative landscape. To top it off, Susan is an eternal optimist and a pure joy to collaborate with. I simply cannot recommend her enough and look forward to our next opportunity to work together.”

"I just spent an amazing day in Algonquin Park with Jesse, coaching me on how to take my photography from “spray and pray” to something more methodical, deliberate and successful! I’ve been admiring Jesse and Susan’s beautiful photography, shared on social media and on their website, and am often speechless at their ability to capture the essence of a moment. Jesse, not only are you a fantastic photographer, you’re a natural teacher! You helped build my confidence with my camera, and taught me how to create an image through composition. But possibly the best part was hearing you speak about the residents of the Park, from red squirrels to foxes, bears and moose. Thanks for an amazing day! Looking forward to next time!”

“I had an amazing time! I booked a full-day photography workshop as a way to celebrate my wife and I’s 6th anniversary. We both had tons of fun! Jesse showed us so many great spots around Algonquin Park, and we learned a ton about photography. Jesse connects to you on a personal level, making the whole experience enjoyable and entertaining. We recommend Follow Me North for any photography services. We’ll be back in the future!”

"I have had the pleasure to work with Susan for 3-years while at Shutterstock. Susan was fantastic at collaborating with our clients on their custom content needs. Her deep knowledge of photography and empathetic nature always put both our clients, and internal coworkers at ease; we knew that if Susan was assigned to a project, it would be completed on-time, on-budget, and exceed client satisfaction! If there is ever an opportunity to work with Susan in the future, I definitely would!"

“I have been working with Susan on several photoshoot assignments for various clients. Susan is super organized and very detail-oriented. This can be seen from every project brief and email that she has sent to me. Susan is a great problem solver and very knowledgeable about photography. This makes her very effective when communicating with photographers. I really enjoy working with Susan.”
— Kyle Cong, Vancouver-Based Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer

“Susan is a very good producer. I have worked with her on many photoshoot projects for Nestle and the Conagra Group, and it has always been a pleasure to work alongside her. She is very professional and makes herself available when needed during production prep. She is good at organizing and preparing projects that effectively meet the wishes of the clients we work for. I particularly appreciated the accuracy of her briefs where the slightest important information is clearly explained. Her thoroughness and ability to think through every detail make her a very good producer.”
