“Boudoir is something I've considered for a long while. After having twins I cannot say I was a fan on my body and really wasn't confident in my ability to feel, well confident in front of a camera. One day though I decided to just book so I couldn't back out and it was honestly such an amazing experience and the best decision I have made for myself. Of course when the day came, Jessika was so patient and go with the flow. Totally understanding and accommodating to the best of her ability. Jessika has ALWAYS made me feel so comfortable on set and even though my body wasn't what it once was, she was able to still take the most gorgeous photos and most importantly make me feel insanely confident. I'm so excited to see the final products and have something to look at to remind myself how glamorous and amazing and beautiful I am and to remind myself that my body is still wicked awesome, especially after carrying two little people and bringing them into the world. It honestly was an experience that gave me a lot of confidence and self love back and I recommend it for just about everyone. You don't have to be a tiny perfect little model to take beautiful and powerful photos, you just need the right environment and a kick ass lady who helps you find and feel the badass goddess that's inside. 101/10 would and will recommend to everyone. 101/10 will do again one day.”

“My experience shooting boudoir with Jessika was absolutely amazing!!! After a year stuck inside dealing with chronic illness and mainly seeing myself in sweats with no make-up, I felt very disconnected from my body. When I found out Jessika was doing a marathon boudoir shoot in Joshua Tree I signed up on a whim and I’m SO glad I did. Our consultation put any nerves I had at ease, and Jessika worked with me to determine the best way to personalize my shoot to fit my unique aesthetic and style. When it came to shooting, I hardly had to do anything besides getting into the poses as she directed. It was SO easy to follow her instructions, and all my worries about being awkward and uncoordinated in front of the camera slipped away! She managed to work in all of my (many) props and photo ideas, and even showed me previews of the photos as we were shooting, which was like a constant confidence boost. I left feeling pampered, relaxed, and more beautiful and connected to my body than I have in years. The only difficult part in the end was choosing! I can’t believe how many amazing photos there were to decide between just from one shoot. I’m usually very picky about photos of myself (especially this MUCH of myself!), and I can honestly say there wasn’t a single one I didn’t like. 10/10, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Jessika. I enjoyed every part of the process, and the end result is so much more amazing than I could have imagined!”

“WOW. there is so much i could write and say about my experience with Jessika. she is one of the most down to earth people i have met. she keeps everything so professional, while making you feel like you have known her forever at the same time. she does some of the best work i have seen and makes your feel beautiful, cherished, and sexy all throughout. with it being my first time doing a shoot with her, she made me feel so comfortable and safe. every step of the process was so smooth and she helped me so much with every little thing. i cannot wait to do more shoots with her. i will recommend anyone to go with Jessika for their photography needs. not only did i leave with beautiful photos, but also left with a beautiful + talented new friend. xx”

“I have done about 4 photo shoots with Jessika, and each on gets better and better! She is a remarkable artist and an even more remarkable person! She shows a high level of professionalism that makes you feel comfortable and confident when working with her , even during intimate photoshoots. The boudoir photo shoots are my absolute favorite! The whole experience feels so glamorous! For my experience I was served Mimosa’s while having my hair and makeup done by the lovely Mrs Cammie Carter. Then everything from outfit changes and props ran so smoothly because of the consultation prior to the photo shoot! And the gallery review was also spectacular! I was able to sit down and personalize my gallery by hand picking photos! It’s an amazing experience all around!”

“I can’t begin to describe how amazing my experience with Jessika was. Going into this I felt nervous, scared, and uncomfortable about my body (my mind likes to tell me mean things as it tends to with most women). Then when she started posing me, all of that went away...she made it SO easy and effortless! She showed me the pictures she was taking during the entire shoot so I could see what she saw and it made me feel so dang good about myself!! I never in my life pictured myself in a setting like that and she just blew me away with the photos she was capturing. I’m pretty shy with my body but I never once felt weird or uncomfortable about being nude in front of her and her team. I never once had a negative or destructive thought about myself the entire time. I left her studio feeling empowered, sexy, and happy about ME, inside and out! Truly, beyond words, one of the best experiences to have as a woman. I can’t thank her enough for her time she gave me and the love she showed me as a human, not just as a “client” 💖”

“Jessika truly deserves more than 5 stars. She's so amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!! I decided to have a boudoir session done as a gift to myself and it might be the best gift ever. The whole process was wonderful! At the consultation, Jessika made notes of the things I was comfortable with and the things I wasn't. She bounced ideas back and forth to make sure we had a solid plan for the shoot to guarantee I got what I was wanting. Then at the shoot she gave wonderful directions on poses that made me feel confident, comfortable, and sexy. I'm not a model by any means, but if you saw these pictures you might not believe me. They are that incredible! Jessika, Cammie, and the rest of the beauty team, thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I've never felt so beautiful. I'll always treasure these photos. xoxo”

10 golden stars across the board. 111% satisfaction rating. I will always reccomend Jessika. This was my second time working with her, and from start through finish and beyond she is truly outstanding. She takes the time to personalize every bit of each session, from the color palette and the flowers to special effects and location. All to make for a unique and incredible experience. While making you feel like you're the star of the show, reminding you how amazing you should feel about yourself. Taking the time to straighten your crown while she documents your confidence. I chose an outdoor boudoir session, figuring early September in the water would be perfect! Well, we ran into a small snag and ended up getting attacked and chased out by the horsefly mafia. Did that stop Jessika? Nope. Not in the slightest! We completed my session the following day in her studio where she went above and beyond to make up for having to cut the session that we had been planning for, short. My point, Jessika's work is worth all the bug bites, all the day after muscle aches and absolutely worth every penny. It wasn't just a photography session, it was memories in the making. She's not just a photographer, she's a friend.

“my maternity boudoir session with jessika is one of the best gifts i've ever given myself. from booking the shoot to consulting about the inspiration and feel i was after, she was so communicative, professional, and supportive. i was apprehensive about doing boudoir, as i was sporting stretch marks, cellulite, and pregnancy weight; but jessika was so encouraging and gave authentic, validating feedback...i didn't feel at all that she was just trying to make me feel better, but instead that she was cheering me on and truly confident that we were making beautiful, artistic images. her easy-going energy and clear direction made me so comfortable. she knew exactly how to pose me and had such creative, fun ideas that turned out so well. i love that she showed me what she was capturing throughout the shoot...seeing myself through her lens made me feel so lovely and empowered, and gave me a huge boost of energy and self-confidence. what a gift to be lost in a moment of seeing my beauty objectively! i felt that she intuitively captured my favorite features, and made amazing use of natural lighting and her awesome client closet pieces. at the end of my shoot i felt like an ethereal fertility goddess! when i viewed my finished image gallery, i was stunned by how lovely she made me look (and feel), and by her talent with the camera and editing the images. my husband was all smiles when i showed him the photos, and he commented that jessika has a true gift for capturing the details and expressions that he loves most about me. i wholeheartedly agree. she is incredibly professional, reliable, talented, and a delightful life-giving person to be with. i will definitely be booking another session with her.”

“Jessika is by far the most amazing photographer I have ever met. I was beyond nervous for my boudoir shoot because it was nothing like I had ever done. Jessika was awesome and made my shoot care free, which made me very comfortable. I got my pictures done for my fiance who is deployed and wanted them to be a surprise Valentine's Day gift. She made sure she got my pictures back to me really fast so we could get my prints ordered so I could send some to my fiance. She is by far the best!”

“Easily one of the best decisions I have made. Jessika is incredibly talented and has such a good eye for photography. She is creative and photographs in such a beautiful manner. She is able to pose and capture ANY women’s body with such grace. I found it so easy to communicate with Jessika and she delivered perfectly - couldn’t be happier! Not to mention easy going, very friendly, professional, and reliable. Would recommend everyone to go to Jessika for their photography needs. Never in a million years thought I would even consider boudoir.. and here I am. Thank you so much, Jessika”

“My session with Jessika left me feeling so empowered and honestly emotional. I struggle with self love and it was way out of my comfort zone to do a boudoir session for my soon-to-be husband, but it was one of the most amazing days ever. Jessika made me feel so comfortable and she continued to hype me up throughout the shoot and make me feel confident. Jessika is not only a highly skilled photographer, but an extraordinary person to work with. My images are so beautiful because she knew how to pose me so perfectly. I recommend her to my friends and even my enemies. Can't say enough positive things about Jessika and her talent behind a camera and her care with clients!”

“this was the 2nd time i’ve worked with jessika for a boudoir shoot and she managed to even top my first one! she always has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable and confident, and her photos are the most beautiful i’ve ever felt. she takes time to figure out how to make your shoot completely catered to you. the first time i shot with jessika i was in a terrible place after a failed relationship. she helped me feel beautiful and worthy when i hadn’t felt like that coming in. now fast forward a year later, i am in such a better place and i did this shoot as a gift to myself to celebrate the healing that’s taken place. in one of the photos she captured me in a genuine smile and i told her that was the epitome of my reasoning behind the shoot. i will always recommend jessika, she is worth every penny and will bring out the beauty inside you through her photos!”
