"We had so much fun taking Senior pictures with Jessica! She did an amazing job capturing Riley’s beauty & personality! Thank you so much!"

-Ashley F.

A big family portrait outdoors at the Carillon in Richmond, VA all in matching colored outfits

"We are very grateful to JR Studio for our recent family portraits! As a mother, I was wanting to capture this moment in time where are children are moving into their own lives, and the love and work that has gone into raising young adults. All of our kids understood that we all worked together to get to this point in life and really supported the idea of having an image to honor that<3! At the same time, my husband and I are finding more time to just be a couple again and really ENJOY each other! We wanted that captured for ourselves to appreciate and to pass on to our children one day. Now, our home has images on our walls that represent our accomplishments as a couple, and they make me smile every. single. time I walk by them each day!! So much gratitude to Jessica and her team for helping us achieve our concept!!"

-Brandi P.

 

 

 

"Jessica made being in front of the camera as easy as completing any other ordinary task. I couldn't have been happier and can say that I love my pictures!"

-Natalie M.

A multi-generational family portait at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

"The years have gone by quickly since you photographed our youngest child for her senior pictures in high school. Three college graduations later, two weddings, the birth of two grandchildren in a span of ten years, along with a pandemic and being isolated from family in those years, brought a new awareness of how fast time passes and how quickly our family is growing and changing. I felt a strong urgency to freeze time in appreciation for where we are as a family right now, before our grandchildren grew out of their baby faces and before our family changes once again in ways we cannot even predict. We knew just where to turn to capture the moment we are living right now. You are a talent and professional who understands families and you lead with your heart. We appreciate your expertise in finding just the right setting and the advice that you shared about style and color and dynamics."

-Trish J.
