The 52-Week Creativity Kit is a year-long program that reignites your passion for nature and wildlife photography by teaching you a new technique every week, followed by a carefully designed assignment to apply it in the field—helping you build your skills, spark creativity, and capture your best work yet.
But this isn’t just about learning—it’s about doing.
Every lesson is paired with a tailored assignment that pushes you to apply the skill in your own photography, helping you think outside the box and see the natural world in exciting new ways.
By the end of the year, you’ll have a toolkit of creative approaches and a renewed passion for capturing breathtaking images.
If you are beginner photographer just learning your camera, who knows that having small, manageable, consistent lessons you can practice around home is the key to finally decoding the mystery of the exposure triangle and alllllll those buttons (even the one that says “manual”).
If you are an intermediate photographer tired of struggling with composition and turning what you’re seeing in front of you into an equally beautiful photo. You’re searching for that “wow” factor in your shots, but instead your photos keep falling flat…like pancakes. Not the fluffy, golden kind. More like the rubbery, “oops-I-forgot-the-baking-powder” kind.
If that sounds like you – then you are a perfect fit for the 52-Week Creativity Kit!
So let me tell you how it works…
“It’s easy to slip into a lack of motivation and purpose with your photography. I was in that space when I saw the 52 Week Creativity Kit. And this course delivers!
I’m definitely enjoying the kick in the pants to get outdoors and shoot. I already am a skilled photographer, but getting extra “pro tips” and just being forced to put skills into practice in a new way is a welcome challenge.
Now, I plan my shots a lot more and it’s a habit I’m excited to build.
Plus, the camraderie and encouragement from the student group, and seeing and learning from the others, is a great benefit.
I certainly recommend the course!“
– Phil Wahlbrink
“I wanted the opportunity to expand my photography skills and create more mindfully, make new friends, and feel excited about what will unfold during the year!
And I’ve gotten ALLLL of that inside the 52 Week Creativity Kit!
Of course, I wondered whether I was jumping headfirst into a distraction, and if this would be a wise investment. But after starting the course, hesitations vanished. I love everything about it!
Jaymi knows that everyone has a busy schedule, and it’s clear she designed this to be doable for anyone with clear, concise, and passionately delivered weekly lessons, taking up only minutes of your time so you can get out and have fun with your camera! Plus she includes helpful templates to make notes, plan, and keep track of my progress.
The student group is a fantastic bonus. It’s so supportive.
I am loving the experience of this course!“

“I was feeling really challenged trying to motivate myself to go out with my camera and take different photographs from what I usually do.
The 52 Week Creativity Kit has been amazing!
Jaymi’s enthusiasm is so motivating, and the short but informative format of the weekly video is perfect.
I love the fact that the weekly assignment can generally fit into the busy lives we all seem to have. And I love the fact that I get to either learn something new, or experiment with new approaches to familiar ideas. It really gets me out of feeling stuck.
Plus, there’s the always helpful, friendly, enthusiastic, non judgemental atmosphere of the student group. We all come from different experience levels and provide each other with tips and helpful suggestions.
Since starting this course, I now think a lot more about the end result and how to get there before I ever even pick up my camera. And my photos look all the better for it! I’m consistently putting new tools in my photography toolbox.
This course has been a great investment!
– Pascale Gay
This course is designed to be perfect for anyone, anywhere, and with any DSLR or mirrorless camera.
It doesn’t matter what season it is, where you are located, what subject matter is around you, or what your budget looks like. You’ll be able to head out each week to photograph the Creativity Concepts.
The weekly Creativity Concepts build on one another, so you can start at any level (from zero to advanced!) and learn through implementation and layering of skills
I’ve been a professional wildlife conservation photographer for over 14 years, and am a photo editor for nature-focused publications. Equal to my passion of pursuing photo stories is my joy of teaching others and helping YOU attain your greatest creative goals.
My journey to creating this course originates from a place of shared struggle. Because I’ve been there… trapped in frustrating creative ruts, wrestling with the constraints of busy calendars, and juggling the frustrations of how exactly to make a photo actually look like what I see in front of me.
Getting past those moments and into your creative flow is hard!
At every level of growth, you’re simultaneously learning how to work your camera while learning to see. And you’re trying to juggle time for your creative passion with everything else you’ve going on in life.
I saw a need for a solution that goes beyond – way beyond – anything available on random project prompts you never actually do, or creativity challenges that fall flat.
I am all about building strategies that minimize overwhelm, spiraling, and stagnation so you can gain momentum. Because what you do with your photography talents matters!
So I created this energizing, year-long adventure designed to nurture a consistent creativity practice for nature photographers. It’s all about breaking old barriers and making creativity an everyday practice.
I took everything I love about the learning experience – including practical explanations, clear guidance, and creative flexibility – and built a course designed to engage you, inspire you, and guide you towards achieving those big, bold goals you have for your photography.
I’m so excited to see what you create over the next 52 weeks!
“I’d already taken courses from Jaymi, which led to scoring wins from her advice, from the course work, and from fellow photographers’ ideas and suggestions. I’m familiar with Jaymi’s style of challenging us to push ourselves to the next level while providing support along the way. So, when I found myself struggling a bit with consistently practicing my photography and letting myself experiment with ideas, I knew this 52 Week Creativity Kit could help me out.
I love the consistent reminders to work on creative concepts that might seem easy, yet there’s room to improve or experiment.
The interaction with fellow students has been a highlight.
I’m definitely improving and seeing wins thanks to the course – including being called upon by my local land trust to do some photography for them! Plus, my photography posts on social media have improved, which has already resulted in more sales. What a nice bonus!
I guarantee any photographer will improve on existing skills and learn new ones along the way with this course.
The cost is extremely reasonable for everything you gain, and as a bonus, you meet fellow photographers from around the globe!
– Steven Nagle

“When I see beautiful photographs online or in magazines, I want to make some myself! But while I’m pretty comfortable with my camera, I still struggle with pushing myself to explore new techniques or styles. So, I wanted to have some accountability to continue to grow.
Joining the 52 Week Creativity Kit has been fantastic.
I love the simple way the weekly concept is highlighted so you’re able to really focus each week. The videos are short but informative. So, I’ll watch it then go out and give the weekly concept a go. If I don’t like what I see, I watch the video again, notice what I forgot, and by the end of the week, feel comfortable with it.
I’ve been really happy with my photographs!! I’m improving and I feel so proud of myself!
There is very little chance this growth would have come about on my own, just messing around. Without the direction from the weekly video and the sense of accountability, I wouldn’t be pushing myself so much and seeing such progress.
If you put your time in, you’ll learn your camera better and be a better photographer for it.
– Karen Edwards
For beginner photographers, it’s a foundations-building course with bite-sized steps so you see rapid progress.
For intermediate photographers, it forms new muscle memory for creative thinking, deepening your skills so you can come up with fresh angles and approaches on the fly.
It is NOT some lame-o list of random subjects or topics to photograph that leave you creatively uninspired, unmotivated, and unsure of even how to photograph that lame-o idea in the first place.
Each week is a mini-lesson with a crystal clear focus plus a process-oriented approach that ensures you’re running out the door with your camera every week stoked for what you’re creating.
Don’t worry if you have to miss a week or two. Life happens, and that’s why this course is designed so that you can simply pick up where you left off. You have lifetime access to the course, so you can go at your own pace and revisit weekly creativity concepts whenever you want.

You have that excitement of picking up your camera every day, full of fresh ideas and creative energy. You know down to your bones that your photography is more – much more – than just capturing images; it’s about using your camera as a tool to express your creativity and viewpoint.
Now, envision yourself confidently managing any lighting conditions you might encounter outdoors.
You’re not just snapping what shots you can manage with what you’ve got and hoping for the best (and maybe a healthy dose of Lightroom and Topaz magic to fix it all).
Nope. NOW you’re thinking on your feet and looking excitedly at the light, the subject, the movement – they’re all ingredients that you’re mixing and matching to create something spectacular.
It’s quite a thrill, right?
The power to turn everyday scenes into extraordinary works of art is literally at your fingertips.
In this course, we make this ⬆️ vision a reality.

The beauty of this course is it’s designed to fit seamlessly into your life. If you find a few weeks have piled up and you haven’t photographed the concept, no worries!
This flexibility allows you to learn and progress at a pace that suits you best, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable learning experience.
So, even if life gets in the way, your journey to becoming a better photographer remains uninterrupted.
Trust me, I soooo empathize with a busy schedule and fitting nature photography in where you can.
That’s why I created this to be doable even if you only have an hour or two a week.
The goal is to make photography a constant part of your life, not an overwhelming task.
In terms of the “bite-sized” weekly videos, they are typically between 5-10 minutes long. This allows you to easily fit them into your schedule and watch them whenever it’s most convenient for you.
However, don’t let the short length fool you – these videos are packed with valuable information and actionable tips that will help you improve your photography skills. This approach ensures you’re able to understand the main ideas quickly, leaving you more time to put theory into practice.
Of course, you can ALWAYS commit more time if you have it, but you’ll see growth and progress with even just 30-60 minutes behind the camera each week.
So, even if you have a busy schedule, this course will fit into your lifestyle without adding extra stress or pressure.
We check jargon and intimidation at the door! I’m all about providing actionable information that anyone, at any experience level, can understand and implement. This course is designed to ensure you grasp the information as quickly as possible so you can get out there and do big things.
Absolutely not! The 52 Week Creativity Kit is designed to be compatible with any DSLR or mirrorless camera that allows manual mode. This course is about enhancing your skills and creativity, rather than focusing on specific equipment. As long as your camera permits manual mode (and don’t worry, there are work-arounds if manual mode isn’t for you!), you’ll be able to fully participate and benefit from the course. The aim is to harness your existing resources to create compelling photographs and develop your individual style.
Not at all! To successfully navigate this course, all you need is a camera, a lens, and a positive, can-do attitude. We focus on developing your skills and creativity, not on the type of equipment you use. While a tripod might be helpful for certain shoots, it is not a necessity for this course. As you progress through the concepts, we’ll suggest any extra gear you might want to experiment with. But remember, it’s not the equipment that makes a great photographer – it’s the vision, skill, and passion behind the lens. So, don’t worry about fancy lenses or expensive equipment – just bring your camera and an eagerness to learn!
No, you do not need to be at any specific skill level! The 52 Week Creativity Kit is meticulously designed for photographers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner just starting out, or a seasoned photographer looking to enhance your creative instincts, this course will provide valuable insights and actionable techniques. If you’re willing to dive in and learn, this course has something for everyone. So grab your camera and get ready to explore the world of photography like never before!
Not a problem at all! The 52 Week Creativity Kit is applicable to any setting you find yourself in. While nature photography is a focus, the skills and concepts you will learn are transferable to a variety of environments. If you have a yard, a nearby park or green belt, great! But even if you don’t, you can practice on anything from pets to potted plants. This course is designed to enhance your observational skills and creativity, helping you to see photographic opportunities in places you’d least expect. So, even if you don’t have constant access to nature, you can still fully reap the benefits of this course.
Nope! Each lesson is designed to be applicable to a wide range of subjects – be it animal, vegetable, or mineral. While certain lessons might be easier to apply specifically to wildlife or specifically to landscapes, the key concepts are universally transferable, making them adaptable to any photographic scenario. So, whether you prefer flowers, insects, birds, mammals, vistas, or that cool rock over there, you’ll be set.
Not at all! The beauty of the 52 Week Creativity Kit is its flexibility and adaptability to any time of the year. Each lesson is designed to be applicable regardless of the season. So, no matter when you reach a particular lesson, you can dive right in and start learning!
Nope! The 52 Week Creativity Kit is designed so that you can do the assignments right from the comfort of your home or your local surroundings. Be it your backyard, local park or even your living room, each place offers unique opportunities to practice and enhance your photography skills. So, no need for special trips or locations – your journey to becoming a better photographer can start right from where you are!
Absolutely! When you enroll in the 52 Week Creativity Kit, you jump right into video lessons designed to get you started with clarity and momentum.
