Yes, but your friend must be female and you need be sure to clear that with the Jezebel team at least three days in advance. There are a lot of reasons people ask to bring friends, mostly for comfort. We understand this feels like it might make the nerves fall. The truth is it often makes them worse. Everyone at the studio is deeply invested and involved in your session. We are holding light reflectors and cameras and oohing and ahhing all over your awesomeness. Your friend is just staring at you. Even if they don’t mean to, it creates a bit of unease and often does not leave you feeling footloose and fancy-free. We want you to always feel free to let go and go where the moment takes you. This is not a shared experience with your friend as they are not involved in the session. So although the answer is yes, you can bring a female friend with you, we are always going to recommend against it and will need to talk with you over the phone about this prior to approval.
You are welcome to bring any clothes, lingerie, accessories and/or shoes that you love! Our goal is to help you feel like the best version of yourself so if you have a pair of shoes that make you feel like a queen or a piece of jewelry that you adore please bring those things with you! We also have a large closet of clothes and accessories in a wide variety of sizes, so don’t worry if you don’t think you’ll have anything to wear. Speaking of sizes! We carry everything from size 4 to 28 and everything in between. We also have shoes in sizes 6 to 13! We love putting together looks that will help you to feel like a goddess!
We recommend adding professional hair & makeup to your experience, even when it is not included with your session fee (for example, mini sessions). Makeup for photography is drastically different than “going out” makeup. Lighting differences throughout the shoot, editing style, and make adjustments are taken into account so that each client looks like themselves, just enhanced. Putting on more or very dramatic makeup does not necessarily mean it will translate well on camera. Our makeup artists work with you to create a hair and makeup look that allows you to shine! So you get to sit back and relax as the Jezebel team takes care of you!
YES!! We help with every pose! No practice needed before your session! We are experts on knowing what poses will look good on camera and we tailor poses to fit your body, outfit, and aesthetic. You will be coached and supported every step of the way throughout your session.
Women of all shapes, sizes, and ages (18+ only) are welcome at Jezebel VonZephyr! We are a body positive studio and we believe everybody is beautiful. The Jezebel team deeply believes that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and worthy and our goal is to help you feel those things during your session. We have photographed women of every size and we will help you to look and feel gorgeous with customized outfits and posing. Jezebel VonZephryr has been photographing gorgeous women of all sizes for over five years and works hard to ensure that your photos will show your unique beauty and light.
Jezebel VonZephyr believes in consent and confidentiality. Your privacy is our top concern. We will never use your photos without your express written consent. Your photos and identity will be as private as you want it to be. We will never post your photos on social media or in our public without asking and receiving your permission.
As naked as you wish. You may be fully dressed in a glamorous vintage gown or in your birthday suit! This is really up to you and what your goals are. We will always push you a little, never hard, and never mean. Always with love, but we will push you towards the edge of your comfort zone. The goal of this is to allow you to experience the “scary thing” in a VERY SAFE environment. We meet you where you are, always, so this should never, ever, ever be a worry or concern that we will be forcing you to do anything you don’t want to. Again, this session is for your personal growth (even if it is for a gift!).
Jezebel VonZephyr believes that every woman is glorious exactly as they are. Our photos reflect each person’s light and unique beauty. We will never Photoshop pictures to make anyone look smaller or take out any features that someone may consider to be less-than-perfect. Any professional edits we do to photos will be to improve things like lighting or to hide any temporary blemishes. We will help you to see yourself as beautiful during your shoot and reveal.
Possibly! We prefer to have sessions at the JVZ studio because of the access to our big wardrobe and the variety of settings for your photos. But we may be open to coming to your home if you are local to the Seattle area. The JVZ team will happily travel to remote locations if at least five sessions are lined up!
We can do a reveal via an online video conference (with prior studio approval) approximately 1-3 weeks after your photo session. Reveals are one of our favorite parts of our job because we get to watch our clients see themselves in a new light and fall in love with themselves. It is a really special time. You may have a friend or partner join you during your reveal!
Yes, definitely! We know that life happens and sometimes people need to reschedule. We ask that you let us know as soon as possible that you need to reschedule. The rescheduling fee is equal to your session deposit amount, but we give it back to you at your reveal as studio credit to purchase additional items (prints, digitals, albums, etc…).
If you wish to cancel altogether, cancelling will result in you forfeiting your original retainer fee. There will also be additional fees for canceling less than 30 days prior to your session (in addition to forfieting the retainer):
30-14 days out is a $100 fee
14-7 days out is a $250 fee
7 days – 25 hours out is a $500 fee
Less than 24 hour notice is a $1000 fee
Yes we do!! We ask that you pay the deposit on your own. Once you select your date and pay the deposit we will send you an invoice for your balance. You can pay some or all against that invoice as long as you need to. Our only request is that your balance is paid in full on or before your actual session date. We are happy to work with women with any budget!
The Jezebel studio is a safe space. All women are welcome, celebrated, and honored in our studio. We love seeing the transformations that occur within women during our sessions. For these reasons, we do not photograph men or couples.
