Why Attend
‘Lost and Found’?

✅ You feel creatively stuck. Your work feels repetitive, and you’re questioning if you’ve hit a plateau. You need a real breakthrough, not another tutorial.

✅ You wonder if your work is good enough. You compare yourself to others, doubting your talent while others seem to have more success, more followers, and better opportunities. It’s time to break the cycle.

✅ You’re tired of advice that doesn’t translate into better photos. You know how to use your camera, but something still feels missing. You want to create images that connect and tell a story.

 ✅ You want to break free from creative autopilot. You used to feel excited about photography, but now it’s just…routine. You need a fresh perspective, a reason to push yourself again.

✅ You’re seeking a creative community. Growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. This is your chance to be part of a community that inspires, challenges, and pushes you forward.

If this hits home, 
‘Lost and Found’ was designed for you.

What If Your Biggest Barrier In Photography Isn’t Your Camera…
But Your Mindset?

If you've joined photography seminars that focused only on technique…

This is different.

If you've taken online courses that were more about theory than transformation…


This is different.

If you’ve watched endless tutorials on photography but still feel stuck…


This is different.

For one day only, step into a creative reset with acclaimed wildlife photographer and educator Jesse Villemaire, co-founder of Follow Me North, based near Algonquin Park, Ontario.

Through storytelling and real-world creative insights, you'll shift your perspective, break free from self-doubt, and start creating with purpose.

Ready to see photography, and yourself, differently?

Overthinking
Kills Creativity.
Let’s Change
That.

A full-day seminar to help rewire your creative mindset, reignite your passion, and transform the way you see and create.

🔹 Quiet self-doubt & embrace imperfection
🔹 See the world with fresh eyes & find new inspiration
🔹 Create with intention, rediscover you passion and creativity

Not just another boring seminar…this is your creative breakthrough!

MEET YOUR SPEAKER
Jesse Villemaire

Photography has always been a part of Jesse Villemaire’s life, but when he transitioned into it full-time, it became something much deeper. More than an art form, photography became a lifeline - a way to process grief, navigate an late ADHD diagnosis, and find clarity in the unknown.

For over 20 years, Jesse continues to live with the unresolved reality of a missing brother, an experience that shaped his understanding of uncertainty, resilience, and the power of perspective.

“Photography helped me process life in a way words never could.”

Today, Jesse is known for his immersive workshops and ability to help photographers break through creative blocks. Whether capturing wildlife at sunrise for a mental reset or helping others see beyond the obvious, Jesse is passionate about lifting people out of the shadows and sharing the creative cheat codes that make photography a tool for navigating life’s obstacles.

At Lost and Found, Jesse will guide you through his creative frameworks:

✔ COMMIT – Break free from doubt and creative ruts by shifting your mindset and embracing photography as a tool for self-expression and resilience.

✔ FOCUS – Train your eye to see beyond the obvious, strengthen your storytelling skills, and push past perfectionism to create with confidence.

✔ CONNECT – Trust yourself, build a deeper relationship with your work, and use photography as a way to engage with the world and your own emotions on a more meaningful level.

This isn’t just about taking better photos, it’s about seeing differently, breaking through barriers, and creating with purpose.
