About Us

Sara registered JezebelVonZephyr.com on July 25, 2013 and opened the studio doors November 1, 2013. Since then we have photographed over 800 women in various states of undress (fun fact: you can be as naked or dressed as YOU want to be). The studio was born out of a desire to create, inspire and help women break the mold. We are show stoppers, story creators, life changers and passion seekers. We help you see the version of you that is seen and loved and cared for by your family, your friends and your partner.

Our boudoir philosophy is simple: this is FOR YOU. This is not about having a partner or having images taken for a partner. This is not about being sexy, it’s ONLY about being SEEN. You wouldn’t think photos would be so impactful, but if you think about the things you treasure, it often comes back to the preserved memory of an image. A capture of time, place and those that shared it with you. As young girls we hang posters in our bedroom of famous celebrities and people we admire. These are still images. They are making an impact on our psyche, our thoughts and our way of doing and being and going in the world. Why not have YOU be the person on your wall that makes an impact on your psyche, your thoughts, your way of doing and being and going?

This is what we do. We create powerful, inspired women.

We create legacy portraits both intimate and not, but every image captures the emotion of the time. The moment you saw yourself as beautiful for the first time, the moment you stood taller, the moment you felt powerful, the moment you felt sexy and vulnerable and beautiful and HAPPY. This is what we do.

We are here FOR YOU 100%
We are here FOR YOU 100%

That means you will not see us watching TV on our phones or cruising through Facebook as if there is something more exciting than your amazingness sitting right in front of us.

There are ZERO stupid questions or ideas

We cannot do this without your cooperation and willingness to surrender to the experience. Be willing to trust us and let go of the outcome. I guarantee it will be amazing!

From Sara

I am married (almost 12 years now) and my husband and I have been together for almost 22 years. I am the owner and founder of Jezebel VonZephyr and I had the photography bug bite me as a young girl. I’ve had a decent camera all my life and always found pleasure in stopping time and capturing a moment. I have been a professional photographer now for almost ten years and found true meaning and purpose in helping women shed old stories and fall deeply, madly, in love with their bodies. The studio and this work are my passion, my mistress, and my love. 

My husband and I, each have one daughter from previous relationships and neither of them lives nearby at the moment. My daughter has started a new life with her chosen family in Arizona and his daughter is currently in grad school in Sweden studying biochemistry. 

We also have two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Crowley, and Fergus. Both are named after Mark Sheppard’s character from Supernatural, my favorite and comfort show. Crowley is a lovable silly heffalump of a beasty dog and so very gentle. However, he is a bit internet famous after he went viral running in our freshly poured concrete driveway. He was even featured on Ellen!

Fergus oddly enough is the troublemaker and this past summer had 11 socks and a pair of panties removed from his tummy. I don’t have any videos of that but he sure is a cute boy. And he loves to snuggle. Neither of them loves to be photographed. LOL, such the photographer’s family life!

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors (in almost all weather pending I have the right gear), dining out with friends, board games, reading, and yes, capturing moments of my life with my camera or my phone. Fandoms for me are a bit extensive and include Supernatural, Star Wars, Friends, Harry Potter, Moulin Rouge, Disney, Music (so much music!!!), The Boys, Big Sky, The Conners, Bob’s Burgers, Resident Alien, The Great North, Arrowverse, and in the last year or so true crime stuff on occasion. 

Trust me when I tell you, I understand the concept of your partner complimenting you “because you think they have to”. It’s not true, but I get it. I have my own insecurities as so many of us do, but I battle them by exposing them. Nervous about your stretch marks? We all have them, me too, and I’m happy to share them with you if you’d like. The more we can normalize the things the media tells us are abnormal, the better off we’ll all be. The world is literally here for you, waiting for you to unearth your greatness, put it on like a coat and leave a trail of glory behind you.

From Kaitlyn

My name is Kaitlyn, and I like naps and dogs. I’m often referred to as the resident old lady, and I am completely ok with that!

Although you will chat with me during your Style Consultation, many of you will not meet me until your reveal. I am the behind-the-scenes person here at Jezebel VonZephyr, so even though we may not meet until late in the process, I am always here to help you along the way.

My journey with JVZ began by accident. Sara was prepping for Christmas and half-jokingly posted on Facebook that she needed an assistant to help her get everything in order. I was in between jobs, and strangely enough, had been considering reaching out to her and seeing if she needed any help around the studio. One thing lead to another, and now I have been working here for over seven years. WOW! 7 years! It’s crazy to see how fast time has passed. 

I consider myself to be insanely lucky (although maybe luck has nothing to do with it) to be as young as I am and working somewhere that I love so deeply and wouldn’t trade for the world. Reveals are my favorite part of of what we do. Nothing makes me happier than watching women transform in front of my eyes. When clients see their images for the first time, it reminds me why what we do is important. We show them the beauty that everyone else sees, but they often time forget is there. And that, in my opinion, is the absolute best part of this process.

Some random fun facts about me: I am known as the “nap captain” at the studio. If we have an extended break between clients, you can bet I’ll be snoozing! I am also a crazy dog lady. I have three of my own, Teddy, Sammi, and Leo who range from Mob Boss, to endlessly curious, to downright ornery. If there is a dog around, I will find it, and I will pet it. When I’m not napping or petting dogs, you can find me curled up with a book or out on an adventure with my husband of 2 years, Travis. Traveling has become one of my favorite things to do. I’m regularly trying to rope my friends into road trips, cruises, and other exciting trips. I love to bake when I’m stressed out, and dance like a fool whenever I get the chance. The top 5 things I love about my body are; my eyes, my lips, my boobs, my hair (when it cooperates), and my legs.

From Tiffany

Write a bio they said—it’ll be fun they said. Before I get to the super fancy accolades, (which I’m sure will impress the fuck out of you) hi! I’m Tiffany. Lead hair stylist & make-up artist for JVZ and social media content curator. On the surface, I make the people pretty. But truly, for the past 20-ish years I have been privileged to show womxn possibilities. The possibility that they are better than they think. The possibility that someone gives a shit about them, the possibility that they can stand taller, dream bigger and love harder. All with the swipe of a little lipstick and a swish of blush. Some refer to me as a magician but I prefer agent of transformation. One who believes, to her core, you are magical beyond all possibility. Little did I know 20ish years ago that I would be leaving a legacy as a make-up artist in this way. Sending womxn back into the world better than when they walked into my space is my specialty.

My passion for cosmetics and the love of building people began many years ago as a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. It was there I discovered that my vehicle to do some good in this world was with a tube of lipstick. I have worked for prestigious brands such as Mary Kay, Lancome, Boots, Emani Minerals, Dior, Smashbox, Jane Iredale, Youngblood, AVEDA and USPA Skin Care. My entrepreneurial and management experience has allowed me to explore many different facets of the beauty industry, acquiring an exceptionally unique skill set. My collaborative efforts in each endeavor coupled with my intense desire to create have  given me the knowledge to confidently forge my own path and become a trusted and dependable beauty professional. My experience ranges from freelance artistry for bridal, print, runway and editorials, creative direction for fashion shows to educating, blogging, business consulting for salons and spas and entrepreneurship. As diverse as my professional experiences are, working at JVZ has enhanced many other sub-skills I never knew existed. Resident Whisky or Wine Drinker, Shenanigan Curator, Kindness Advocate, and Deviant Role Model are titles I have proudly acquired. I’m also the resident Queen of Creep. Much to the dismay of my friends and family, I love all things macabre. If it’s creepy, lore, or true crime related- I’m in!

My title(s) at JVZ pale in comparison to “Mom & wife.” My husband and I have been married for 19 years and conspired together to produce a small tribe of exceptional humans. Keller (13), Kensie (10) and Kendall (8) are kind, compassionate, and unapologetically themselves. They thrive on gaming, snacks & the latest YouTube Channels and cleverly capture the hearts of all who set foot in their path. Our small but mighty family enjoy occasional adventures but we are mostly homebodies- focused on whatever kid activity is happening next. We co-exist with a 110lb house horse, Brody, and two furry royals, Cali & Neville. I also have the privilege of serving my community as a Girl Scout leader, middle school PTA President and elementary art docent. I’m an avid Potterhead (50 points to Ravenclaw!) and I have found myself a part of the best fandom of all time- SPNFamily. (If you haven’t noticed, we all might be fans of Supernatural).

From Krissy

Hi there! I’m Krissy and I’m a writer, musical lover and a professional dork! I write a lot of the words you see on the Jezebel VonZephyr blog and website. I am originally from Michigan, but I have been living in Washington for over five years. I did my first session with JVZ in March 2018 and it changed my life! Sara and Tiffany challenged me to accept and love all of me during my session and I could not be more grateful. I found myself during my shoot and it jump-started a journey of radical self-love. I fell in love with the team and the mission of Jezebel VonZephyr and knew I wanted to be a part of it. I’m so honored to be a part of this remarkable team and I am excited to see women stand in their own glorious lights! When I am not writing for JVZ you can find me hoarding red lipsticks (I have over 100), playing with my little rescue dog Maeby, obsessively reading Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Twitter feed or watching Disney movies.
