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 your space 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 studio "Atelier 6" in Ellisville, MS! Its a pretty perfect blend of cozy 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.

I would never thought in a million years that I would do a boudoir shoot, let alone LOVE it and feel so comfortable in my own skin. Jessica has such an eye for certain shots and made the whole experience so fun! I would highly recommend any girl to do it!
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!
Jessica has been amazing! I was diagnosed with breast cancer in march of this year and wanted to take pictures before my surgery and after to document everything. I was nervous and not really sure what to expect, but Jessica made sure I felt like I was working with someone I have known my whole life. Not only did she make this process easy but she produced amazing pictures as well. I cannot wait to book another photo shoot with BlackBird. Thank you so much for being patient and helping me.
Jess made me feel so comfortable… it was like hanging out with my most non-judgmental friend!!! The vibe in the studio was so laid back, but also so organically sexy. she was honest with me about how my clothing choices would transfer to photographs (as a plus size girl, i had a lot of preconceived ideas of what “sexy” looked like) she walked me through every single detail it took to get a good shot! I never felt overwhelmed . I felt empowered the entire shoot! i remember her saying “who knew an old blue t-shirt could look so hot!?!” and that was my favorite shot! It was the best time and best gift I've ever given myself!…. my husband liked them too!
You made me feel so strong and confident during my shoot. I felt so Empowered and it helped me open a new chapter of confidence in myself. Its been way too long and I need to book another photo session soon!
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.

Welcome to
Atelier 6
Being in a historic hotel, curves draped in shadows, the freeness to stand in a tall window with nothing but your skin and the sunlight connecting...a little hideaway from eyes. We may be in a small town, but the Parisian in me is leaving that at the door of room 6 👋🏼
