Valeria Cloes

“When I was doubting my career path in college, Gio was there to help guide me through it. She is the best! She is a great mentor who takes the time to explain every little detail of her photography techniques, as well as the business side of her job. She is such a passionate teacher that makes sure to check in with you about how you’re feeling and you’re learning goals. She let me shadow her at multiple graduation sessions and a wedding, giving me ample time to ask questions and improve my skills. She wants you to succeed and grow, and there’s truly nothing better than a mentor like that. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Mont Mead

“When I first met Giovanna at my little brother’s wedding, she was very professional and deliberate with the groomsmen to get the shots she needed of us. At the time I had no idea how much knowledge she would bestow on me. Sometime later my brother’s pictures came back and I was in awe, I literally have her work hanging in my place of my family and I. Fast forward, I bought my first mirrorless camera and she was the first person I contacted for help. I literally had no knowledge of photography. I joined her mentor program and it was amazing. She is an inspiration—month after month I was making progress as she was guiding me along. 4 months later in the mentorship, I have clients of my own and am creating lots of memories with them, and I owe it all to Gio!”
