About Pizzazz

I'm Jacinda, a working photographer at Z&Z before I ever ran a styled shoot of my own. I kept showing up to other people's shoots to build my portfolio, and kept running into the same thing: a full-price ticket for a day that felt disorganized once I was there. Matthew and I saw it from the other side of the camera too, as the Boss & Blondie model couple, booked on plenty of shoots that never quite came together. So we started running our own — curated, properly planned, and priced so building your portfolio stays within reach.

Come to a Pizzazz shoot and leave with images you can actually put in front of clients. Get direction and feedback on set, not just a couple of hours next to a model. Meet photographers worth knowing: I've hired people I met at a Pizzazz shoot as second shooters for Z&Z, and been hired right back. And shoot without any pressure to deliver — I often shoot as lead photographer myself, so models and vendors get their photos without ever needing to ask an attendee for an edit.

Every shoot pays us back in more than the ticket price: new photographer friends, second-shooting work, and a stronger portfolio for everyone who shows up, mine included. Get in touch, or see what's coming up.
