 More Than Just a Photoshoot—A Full-Service Experience

I believe your portraits deserve more than just sitting on your computer, collecting dust in the digital abyss. How many times have you had your portraits taken, posted one or two images to Instagram, and then—months later, in the middle of your shower—you have that fleeting thought, "I should get those printed out." But then life gets in the way, and you never follow through because, like so many, you were left hanging before the finish line—and the cycle just repeats itself. And, just like that, your walls are still blank.

I’m here to get you over the finish line and deliver a complete product. With every photo you purchase, you’ll receive both the digital file to share on social and a beautiful, physical matted print that you can hold in your hands, hang on your wall, and pass down through your family. We all know how good it feels to have printed photos up in our homes, but it’s not your job to figure out how to get there—that’s why I offer a full-service experience from start to finish. Here’s a peek into what this process looks like with me:

✔ Personalized Planning: We’ll collaborate to design your perfect session—outfits, locations, and every detail.
✔ Guided Image Selection: After your session, I’ll help you choose the images that truly capture your story.
✔ Tangible Artwork: Instead of just sending you a gallery link, you’ll receive heirloom-quality prints, albums, and artwork that bring your images to life.

Let’s create something meaningful together. Book your complimentary discovery call to get started!

Photoshoot Testimonials Source

“Jessica was different from anyone else that we have ever experienced, she interacted so much with us during our photos…she made me feel very comfortable and beautiful, I usually don’t like getting my picture taken. It was such a beautiful experience!”

-Jessie + Vitaly

“It was our first time doing a couple photoshoot. We were really nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Jessica did an amazing job making it simple, easy, simple, really comfortable. David was feeling so nervous about it, he thought it was going to be the most uncomfortable thing. Jessica did so great getting him to open up and coming out of his shell, get loose and have fun with it! it felt like we were just hanging out on a date and she was in the background capturing it.”

-Katie + David

“She made the whole process really easy, she is really chilled, laid back, and funny and made it really comfortable for us. My husband gets a little awkward, he doesn’t like taking photos, and the whole process for him was really fun. I highly suggest jessica, she will make the session simple, fun, and something you’ll want to do again!”

-andrea + landon

“I just had my college graduation portraits done with Jessica Whitaker and I am feeling so inspired and confident. I am feeling so good! I have never had such an incredible experience getting my photos taken. Jessica is encouraging, talented, funny, and knows what she is doing. It was so nice!”

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can I bring a friend to my photoshoot?

Yes! I ALWAYS encourage my clients to bring someone with them. Bring a friend, parent, or spouse! Whoever can cheer you on + whatever will make you feel more comfortable, go for it!

How + when will I receive the files?

You will receive the digital images within 4 weeks of your session. Printed goods depend on the product and the lab, and can be up to 8 weeks.

Do I get to select the images?

Yes! You select your images. Depending on your session, we will meet the same day or via Zoom where you will make your selections and I will be there to offer my professional advice.

what is the Nonrefundable Retainer fee?

The “Nonrefundable Retainer Fee” secures your booking and includes a professional makeup artist, access to my photo studio, and access to my photoshoot wardrobe. The session fee does not include images, as those are purchased separately—allowing you to select exactly what fits your needs. My pricing is structured to ensure I can deliver the highest quality experience and final images, and the retainer fee is a fixed investment in that process.
