My name is Jessica Phillips and I love to create beautiful things. I see the human body as a beautiful work of art and part of the wonder of photography is capturing it. Capturing you. Whether its for a certain someone or just because, my goal is for you to feel 120% comfortable and beautiful during our session. I love creating photographs that bring in not only your natural beauty, but also your unique personality. Getting ready for such an intimate shoot can be daunting and being comfortable is the first step to great photos. If you have any questions that this page doesn't answer, please let me know! I can't wait to work with you!
From one of my beautiful clients!
"I’m so incredibly grateful that you do this. I walked into that loft SO insecure; I had no idea the impact that hour would have on me. I felt so empowered, and more confident than I probably ever have before, and most importantly I’ve carried that feeling with me. It was so much more important to me than I realized it’d be. Thank you so much ❤️"
Q&A
Q.
Are my images available to view publicly?
A.
All of my boudoir sessions are completely Confidential, unless I am given permission by you to share for marketing purposes. Otherwise, you can be sure that only you & your loved one will be seeing your images!
Q.
Who will be present during my boudoir session?
A.
Usually only myself and my client, but you are welcome to bring a friend if that helps your confidence. These sessions are a female only zone, so even if your shoot would require thatI have an assistant/stylist; there will be no males on-site.
Q.
What will be the location of my boudoir session?
A.
There are a few factors in deciding the location! Most use my loft studio in Hattiesburg! Its a pretty perfect blend of industrial and chic! Every location I use is chosen based on its discreet and intimate nature. If your home has an abundance of natural light, then that maybe a fabulous option. If not, we’ll find something that fits your aesthetic: Indoor, Outdoor, or something totally different!
Q.
Is Hair & Make up Included with my session?
A.
No, but I do have a few stylists I can recommend, depending on their availability for your date. Estimated price is $75 - $100. You are also more than welcome to use someone that you are comfortable with.
Q.
Do all the pieces in your inventory come in multiple sizes?
A.
I try to curate a very versatile and unique inventory, but I do have a couple of options that fit more than one size! While I do have a few complete looks, my pieces are mostly complimentary! If you don’t see something you like or its the wrong size, let me know and we can put our heads together.
Q.
How heavily do you edit the images?
A.
I take time and care to edit your images in a way that flatters, but doesn’t transform you. My goal is to capture your true and natural beauty. However, I do understand that we all have our flaws, and will edit any imperfections to compliment you beautifully. If you have any specific requests, please let me know at the session, so that I will be aware while editing.

What my
Clients Say

Your photos made me feel so empowered and show me how all my hard work has paid off, which we don't always see in the mirror at home. The photos are amazingly beautiful. I never imagined that I could look like THAT! You’re fantastic. I felt very relaxed, beautiful, and the experience is unlike anything I could have imagined!
BlackBird captured my wedding day so unbelievably perfect, that within just a few months I went back to Jessica for a boudoir shoot. Taking a huge step out of my comfort zone, Jessica almost immediately had me feeling calm and at ease. This was something I had never imagined myself doing, but I was so glad that I did. By the end of the session my confidence was through the roof and I had never felt more empowered. The pictures that followed showed that same confidence, and were more than I could have ever hoped for. 12 out of 10 stars. An amazing experience.
It was an absolute BLAST and I want to do it all over again!! It made me feel so strong and beautiful. You captured my true personality!
A Few Tips
Tip #1
Don’t forget to bring things that make you comfortable! That could be music you enjoy, a favorite drink, or a friend! Whatever gets you to your most relaxed you!
Tip #2
Don’t forget to bring your jewelry! Costume Jewelry or something special from your loved one. Even heirloom jewelry can be a personal touch to honing in on something wonderfully unique.
Tip #3
Eat! So many clients don’t eat before, not a good idea! You need to snack, maybe not a full course meal, but Eat!
Tip #4
I have a lot of girls bring over-sized shirts, jerseys, things like that, and that’s fine but remember we want to show you off! Not completely cover you.
Tip #5
Some find that it helps to do some kind of exercise or yoga beforehand to help tighten and stretch.
Tip #6
And as cheesy as it sounds....look in a Mirror. See what you like and don’t like when it comes to facial expressions! Some girls hate their straight face or think they look mad. Some hate to smile or make a “sexy” faces because they think they look silly. Let me know what parts of your body you’re uncomfortable with.
