WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF EDUCATION IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
A Husband and Wife photography power couple
life long knowledge
Jen has a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology from the School of Art and Design. Photographing clients across the entire globe, Jen has unearthed a passion for capturing her client's story in her imagery while delivering technical excellence. In 2019, Jen was awarded her Associate Photographer Designation from WPPI/Icon. In 2023, Jen was the winner of Reportage Photographer of the Year award by SWPP. Believing education is the key to success, she has always placed the community and photography education at the heart of her business. Jen enjoys empowering women in the photography and wedding industry as well as enthusiastically embracing technical challenges in the field, and behind the computer. Jen is one half of the husband and wife wedding team at Fox & Brazen and runs the Phoenixville photography studio full time.
What to know about Jen? Jen was born and raised in Maine until she was 18. She's obsessed with the Barenaked Ladies (it's a 90's band - the one that sang about "If I Had A Million Dollars) and she loves a great cocktail but could probably live off of just coffee and coffee alone. Jen has jumped out of a plane and swam with 27 sharks (by choice) but the scariest thing she's ever done is try to sing karaoke. If iPhones or AI take over the photography world, she plans to become a tour guide for Disney World, because her qualifying factors are she can tell you the difference between a Magic Kingdom Dole Whip and a Polynesian Resort Dole Whip and knows all the words to the Haunted Mansion ride.

Meet Jen
Travis has always loved business, processes, and organization since he was little. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the Rochester Institute of Technology and a Master of Engineering in Software Engineering from Pennsylvania State University, Travis loves where art, science, and business come together. Combining his 15+ years of corporate business leadership with his passion for small business, Travis enjoys helping creatives grow their businesses and reach their goals. Working with, and acting as a consultant, for executives of major Fortune 500 companies, Travis enjoys converting major business principles to creatives and small business. A proud founding partner of Fox & Brazen, Travis photographs wedding, engagements, and portraits with his wife Jen across the globe. Travis fervently believes education (in particular business education), and working together as an industry, is critical for the preservation and perseverance of the photography and creative industries.
Travis has been described as a renaissance man with a love all things nerdy and artistic. Travis never turns down a board game or a chance to play cards. For him a perfect day starts with a ham and cheese omelet and ends with cocktails on the beach surrounded by friends and family. As he is always up for an adventure, there isn’t a shipwreck he won’t dive, a mountain he won’t climb, or an experience he won’t try at least once.

Travis Stitt
Meet Travis
Jen and Travis - they certainly do make a lovely pair. After crafting a booming small business together, the next natural step was to take their recipe for success on the road and share their secrets with other entrepreneurs in the creative industries.
The pair has shared the stage in Las Vegas at WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, Shutterfest in St. Louis, and a handful of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) affiliate groups around the country. They both look forward to tackling the international circuit next to bring their knowledge world-wide.
Jen and Travis met working at RIT in 2004, started dating in 2006, married in 2009, and in 2020 renewed their wedding vows. They opened their first photography studio in 2011 and successfully rebranded in 2019. They adore sharing the stage and educating across genres but specifically love to teach about raising the bar in the small business world by striving for a work/life balance.
Together they share a passion for adventure, knowledge, and a well-made craft cocktail.

Perfect Pair
Often people don't tackle subjects which would help their business for they feel they are too complex or they might not understand. We take these large concepts and break them down into bite size pieces showing creatives how to deconstruct topics to help drive their business.
Deconstructing the Complex Carbs
It's a fact that some topics are a bit dry, however we lighten the mood through adding our own flavor to the mix to our fun and over the top example scenarios. Our goal is to keep people engaged (and just a hint of a smile) throughout the entire class while we're dropping knowledge bombs... and bad Dad jokes... sometimes.
Making 'em Laugh
There is always more than one approach to every situation. We like to show the pros/cons and multifaceted approaches to concepts/situation to help creatives determine the right path for them.
Keeping it for 'Real Reals'
Besides our delightful witty banter, our approach to teaching is based on, and known for, three main approaches:
