Jezebel vonZephyr. What can I say that will encompass the amazing experience I had? Well... a lot. I've already rewritten this because I could EASILY write 2 or 3 pages singing the praise!! (no really, my last attempt had already reached a whole page and I wasn't even done yet!) First. Body Positivity? Jezebels has it in SPADES! And not the fake body positivity that's kinda toxic and icky. I mean they really want to help everyone celebrate their female form. Boudoir can often bring really specific vibes to mind, leaving people with bigger bodies, smaller bodies, "straighter" bodies feeling unsure how to participate. HAVE NO FEAR, JEZEBEL VONZEPHYR IS HERE! They will help you with everything. If you have ideas, great! They'll work with them. If you have NO ideas, that's ok! Their creativity seems to know no bounds. If you have extensive collections of sexy, sultry things, bring them on it! If not, they have an amazing treasure trove of...everything: bras, panties, corsets, stockings, shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, robes, jewelry, etc. And they post videos going through their client closet so you can get an idea ahead of time of what might excite you to try! These Client Closet tours are posted on their Facebook group which is another amazing thing about them. The people in this Facebook group are so kind and they are 100% here to hype you up and help celebrate you as you are. Besides glimpses into the client closet, they also feature "Seize the Selfie" posts encouraging group members to post any selfie where they were really feeling themselves. It's truly a great community they're building. On the actual day of my photoshoot, I packed up my stuff and went to their absolutely amazing studio. They have 9 sets and at least one that gets updated throughout the year. I got to experience this one in the "Something Wicked This Way Comes" setup. Gorgeous! It's giving darkness. It's giving sensuous. It's giving "I have your heart in my hand... literally as well as figuratively". To say I felt powerful on this set would be an understatement. 100% no notes. Sarah worked with what I brought and supplemented from the client closet as needed. She picked pieces I never would have considered but everyone had done so much to cultivate this air of trust and safety that I knew I could just RUN with it. Sometimes, you gotta let the professionals do their stuff, you know?! I think the thing that floored me the most was the inclusion of my walking stick. I have a few health conditions that can make it hard to hold poses, do stairs, or just... remain steady. Since the studio DOES have some serious stairs, I'd brought it to make sure I could get up there. Sarah was immediately on board with working my walking stick (I mean... it's more like a staff, being over 4 or 5 ft) into the sessions. I know I mentioned body positivity but let me just say it again. TALK ABOUT BODY POSITIVITY! We're not going to hide this mobility aid; we're going to celebrate ALL of you and that includes this. From the minute I walked in, to the minute I walked out, and if I'm being honest it's been a continuing feeling since then, I felt celebrated and powerful. I haven't even had my image reveal appointment yet and I'm already percolating ideas for another go! Addicted? Uh... yeah, maybe a bit *heart emoji* This photo is a fun (and family-friendly) reminder of my amazing day. While I was getting my makeup down by the amazing Angelica (please forgive me if I get your name wrong, you were an amazing INTEGRAL part of the day!), Sarah came over with a bunch of cards. I just let the spirit direct me to the right card and I pulled this amazing quote. I had definitely been feeling like I'd gotten L after L recently and this was exactly the message I needed. Yes, there were tears. Afterwards, I not only got this amazing image as a reminder (yeah, those origami stars were something I brought to work into the session) but I also got the actual card and a super saucy Polaroid memento!!! read more

I saw their ad. Thought it looked good. Thought I read all of what they offer, but apparently not. I got their estimate for getting the pics taken...($3**.00), but I did not see the fine print where digital copies are an extra $3**.00. Before I saw the fine print about the digital photos costing an arm and a leg, I put down the $3**.00 for scheduling a time. Then, when they called me to confirm everything, I told them I can't afford $6**.00 to $7**.00 for photos with digital. That's just way too much. They said they couldn't give me a refund....(wtf), so I told them, you'll be seeing my comment on Yelp! It seems scammy to me. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this incredible place. I first met these kind ladies at ECCC this past year and I have wanted to do a shoot ever since. I am so thankful I finally had the opportunity! The vibe, the compliments, the skill really made this an amazing experience. I can't wait to come back for my birthday shoot next year! I am eternally grateful for everything. As someone who has had issues with body image, this session was very healing. 10/10 recommend. read more

I have done 5 shoots with JVZ and have never looked back. This is a body inclusive studio. A lot of times with Boudoir, you see tiny, thin models. I can't relate to that as a thicker gal. Wanna talk about Hype?! Sarah is the best hype women you could ever want. She captures your beauty in true self in a way that is incredible and keeps me coming back. I can't reccomend JVZ enough. I am a proud part of the tribe. read more

This was the most fun I've ever had getting pictures done! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted warmly and treated like a queen. They are so great about creating the perfect makeup and outfits for you! I felt like a Barbie getting dressed up. They make you feel safe, loved, beautiful, and ENOUGH! Every womxn should get their photos done at Jezebel VonZephyr because you'll walk away with a new way of looking at yourself. read more

If I could get my pictures taken everyday by these ladies I WOULD!! They make you look and feel like a million bucks!

Every human deserves to feel loved, beautiful, embraced in a body positive environment. My mini session was a life changing experience and wonderful morning of self love. These folks treated me like a queen in a place where everyone is welcomed and celebrated. Sara has a gift for finding a way to bring out the magic in each individual. read more

The JVZ Team is awesome! They make you feel comfortable and let you be you during your photoshoot--and they help you bring out your inner goddess. read more

I have had my photos taken by JVZ 4 times now; two boudoir sessions, one head shot session (which ended with me in lingerie and boots on the bed, but I digress), and a "Hot Mess" session where I got to play with black light paint and glitter. My photos are all DIVINE. The women of JVZ are dedicated to meeting each woman who walks in the door exactly where she is at without judgment and with a great deal of love. Each photo session is tailored to the needs and desires of the subject. And every time, you walk away feeling more seen and loved than ever before. I can't recommend them highly enough for this alone. If the experience itself weren't enough, the photos they produce are stunning. One of the things that attracted me to JVZ to begin with was seeing the photos of their subjects posted on the JVZ Facebook page. They photograph women of all ages, races, shapes, and sizes and they are all so beautiful. Eventually, if you look through their photos, you WILL see a woman who looks like you, and begin to believe you can be beautiful too. Finally, as for pricing: their website contains all of the information regarding the session pricing. When you book your session, you also receive information regarding the packages and a la carte options available to purchase produce at the time of your "reveal" (when you go back in to see all of your amazing photos). Payment plans are available for any who ask, and all of the session packages include some product so that if you choose not to purchase anything extra, you will still walk away with something tangible from your photo shoot. In short: if you've thought about boudoir, give JVZ a call. You will not regret it! read more

The team at JVZ is so attentive to comfort and hospitality. Their focus is on helping each client express their unique power. They also create a community of body-positive women that support each other. I highly recommend a session with them. read more

You cannot begin to put a price on the value that the JVZ team brings into the lives of women. They transform how women who have had negative self-talk their whole lives, seeing themselves as less-than, having no voice, feeling ugly, unloved and unworthy, to when they sit down for their Soul 2 Soul reveal... For the first time seeing themselves how other have seen them their whole life. To seeing love, beauty, radiance, kindness, quirky and fun. It's one step in the healing from a lifelong story in her head of abuse, torn down from emotional and mental abuse, torn down from rape, torn down from bad relationship(s). My photos were a huge catalyst in my own healing journey - to finally see myself. To finally love who I am just the way that I am. To begin digging out the lies of manipulation, neglect of self and years upon years taking care of other feeling lost and alone. I finally felt as if I was coming home to me! You cannot put a price on giving a woman back her voice. You cannot put a price on a woman seeing her value. You cannot put a price on a woman who full loves and embraces herself. JVZ Team THANK YOU for helping me to see myself through your lens of love! read more

I wanted a unique present for my husband for our tenth wedding anniversary. My husband is very difficult to buy for- he *hates* having money spent on him and he's not really one for "stuff" so I wanted something he was guaranteed to love. Enter... sexy photos of me! I found Jezebel VonZephyr (aka Sara) via Google, and as beautiful as her photos are I started to talk myself out of it because I don't think I have a sexy bone in my body. I'm an introvert and I wear makeup at most once a week, because it doesn't fit into my lifestyle. I'm awkward, shy, self-deprecating, live a very conservative lifestyle and am not photogenic. I'm also a stay at home mom so I'm typically cleaning something while wearing sweats. I'm determined to make this year my best year so I sucked it up, worked out hard (my preference- doesn't have to be yours), told all of my friends I was doing it (no turning back now!) and scheduled my appointment. Google told me JVZ is a very body-positive studio. I'm very body positive as well and don't believe there's only one acceptable and beautiful type of body. Even though I'm thin and workout, I've had two kids and have the stretch marks and extra skin to prove it. Society tries to sell you on this idea of "perfection," that one "acceptable" body type and that we should all strive for it. If you look at Sara's pictures, you see so many STUNNING beautiful women with all body types and different looks. Suck it, society- you're wrong. I walked into the studio thinking "OMG it's so cute in here but can I be almost nekkid and sexy in front of these ladies?" Tiffany did my makeup and I liked how it turned out. I told her I wanted to look like myself still (she said everyone does- phew) and I wanted something sultry. I definitely got sultry- my eyes looked so beautiful and green! The lip colors she chose for me were literally perfect, and the looks she chose for me photographed beautifully. During the makeup and hair, Sara was hard at work in the back picking through the random stuff I brought and creating outfits with the accessories I brought and the ones she had on hand. When the shoot started, we just got to work. Sara posed me in positions that felt awkward but I knew that they would photograph beautifully. I could tell right away she knew what she was doing, so I just did what she told me to do. She gave me exactly the right amount of information at the right time in order to make my images look perfect. In my humble opinion, my session was the perfect balance between what I liked and what looked good in Sara and Tiffany's professional opinions. As a professional talking to a non-professional, it can be hard to walk that balance but they did so quite well. Throughout my session, both Tiffany and Sara said very nice things to me and about me. Sometimes compliments go right over my head because I'm not super concerned about what other people think about me but the things they said really came from a genuine place. I really, truly felt like they believed and meant the things they said about me. They weren't forcefully placed, they weren't awkward, they didn't seem empty or like formalities- they were genuine and encouraging. You could tell that they were said because they meant those things. Within a few days, my images were ready and boy were they beautiful. They really captured my personality and my spirit. They were very much me but a side of me I had never seen, but hoped existed somewhere. Both Sara and Tiffany have an artistic eye. I really love the images. My husband also loved the images. By the time they were presented to him, they weren't a surprise, but we all pretended he didn't know what was going on. Nonetheless, he was very happy with them and so was I. If you're on the fence- just do it. It's a great experience. They will treat you like a queen or a princess and you will love your images. Do it for your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or significant other if you'd like, but you will also benefit greatly from it- so do it for yourself as well. I for one will be back someday to do this again. read more

After my wife went through this business I was shocked at the price. Initially the prices weren't to horrible but still costly. Then to find out afterwards that there are "upgrade options" which range from about $1400 to $3200. The upgrade options are not posted on their website. So when they say the average person spends $2000 that's about the price for the cheapest initial package and the cheapest upgrade option. There was also A La Carte options but... of you want the calendar for $525 you also have to purchase the rights to the photos which is also an additional $1950. So if you don't care about the cost then they are for you. read more

I'm not one of those 300 million Americans who thinks that 2 stars is bad and 5 stars is okay with a side of incompetence. I'm the old-school rater who thinks that 3 is good, 4 is excellent, and 5 is beyond my wildest comprehension or ability to explain the goodness involved. That's Sara and her team. I used JVB for professional shots for my (clothed :)) business, and I would have driven up to Seattle to do it if I had needed to. Thankfully, Sara and Jessica were doing appointments in L.A., happened to charge half (for 10 takeaway photos...actually 20 because you get the B/W and the colors) what I would have been lucky to pay for a single headshot in Dallas, let alone L.A. They spent a total of probably 7 hours on my gig JUST WITH ME, in addition to the time they spent behind the scenes, which was significant. I am a HUGE photography snob and I want to buy from almost no one...appreciating someone's approach is different from wanting their "approach" or "look" to infiltrate the image you are trying to convey about your own business. I was looking for someone not with their own artistic lens for me to work into, but someone who could work into who I am. What I got was a portfolio I could walk into any Food Network meeting with and pitch a TV show. Which wasn't even on the current list of things to do but is now. I didn't know there was a way to combine all the "personalities" I juggle in my many professional identities, and rolling with Sara provided ways to capture professional, corporate, playful, family, and elegant imaging of me ALL IN ONE PHOTO. Several times. I have done high-end photo shoots, and I have been treated very well, and I have been a makeup artist and created transformative moments for people through that. I've got nothing on Jessica and I've got nothing on Sara. I don't really need to tell you this, though, because by now I'm sure you've already gone to the website, which is beyond incredible. Although I didn't need a lot of shots, I bought the slideshow Sara lovingly and amazingly makes to show us our group of shots to pick from. I bought it because, after crying for 15 minutes which I did NOT expect, I told her that she had found personalities in me and professions and missions that I didn't even know about, and that I now saw at least 6 of through her capture of me on camera. I've never experienced this and I didn't even know it could be done. This is a business and a group of people that I would give anything to, do anything for, and do business with forever. I am about and only about business with hearts, empowerment, beauty, and joy, and these women have done their work and you will benefit from it. If you are ready to find yourself evolved before your very eyes, for intimate OR professional OR personal work, portraiture or candid, I can't recommend JVB enough, or their presence. They will be the best presence you step into all week. I woke up the next day and was disoriented that I wasn't still with them. It was like family I had never known existed and seemed obviously like the people I should be seeing. It's like that. read more

I just got home from my photo session, and it was absolutely amazing! Since I was seven years old I've only liked a small handful of photos of myself, and I've always hated having my photo taken. Until today. For maybe the first time in my entire life I truly enjoyed every moment of being photographed. I felt special. I felt beautiful. I felt seen in the very best way. I felt like art. Better than that I still feel special and beautiful even as I sit here writing this on the couch in my pajamas. I couldn't stop smiling on my drive back home, and I can't truly express the depth of my gratitude for these stunning women who helped me feel this way. Thank you Jezebel team for your heart for women of all shapes, sizes, and ages! read more

Do not EVEN think of going all the way into downtown Seattle for a boudoir shoot - these local gals are THE bomb. They have a lovely, intimate, private studio right in downtown Bothell with free, convenient parking. They are extremely helpful at prepping you for your session, and I felt perfectly comfortable turning everything over to them and letting them make me look good - and I wasn't disappointed. Seriously, it's like hanging out with some of your favorite girlfriends for a couple of hours....and oh, yeah....we're just taking a few pictures, too. You do not feel one bit awkward or self-conscious. They also show you shots along the way so you can adjust as necessary, AND see how awesome you look. I could not believe that was me! I opted to have them do my hair and makeup as well, and I am extremely glad I did. They did so much better than I would have, and it was really great to have an objective view of myself and do something different - which was my entire goal to begin with. The colors turned out perfect and I received a ton of compliments on my makeup afterward. (If they could do my makeup while I slept so I could wake up looking like that ever day, I'd be set for life.) If you've been on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot or think you're too old, too fat, or too whatever.....pffft. GO. But go HERE. You won't be sorry. read more

As a plus-plus-sized woman, between society. media, and my own inner mean girl, I spend a lot of time being told that I am not pretty enough, sexy enough, fierce enough, deserving enough... enough enough. In the 2 years I've been a part of the Jezebel vonZephyr community, I've come to a place where I'm seeing pretty, sexy, fierce, deserving, enough... and I'm seeing it in me! More than that, I've had 2 sessions with JVZ and just looking at my "Before the session Before" from each session, you can see the monumental change in how I hold myself. Since my first session, I have been prompted to do the work necessary to love myself more. I walked into my first session not believing they'd get any good pictures of me - They did. I walked into my first session fearing the cellulite and the lumps and bumps that only I have - I appreciate them now for the unique story that they tell, and even the photos I was hesitant to love because all I saw was my body flaws - the more I look at them, the more I'm loving those pieces of myself. I walked into my first session staring at my feet because I didn't feel beautiful or deserving of being beautiful - I hold my head high and know that I am beautiful as I am today. Jezebel vonZephyr embraces the belief that every body is the perfect body - and they have found a way to make you believe that it includes YOUR body. I truly believe every woman needs to experience a boudoir session with JVZ (and if cost is a concern, reach out and ask about payment plans and/or to be connected with a Brand Ambassador for the biggest discount offerings!) read more

My experience with Sara was multi faceted. First she has a way of making you feel comfortable and as if you have known her for years. Second she is a talented photographer. What I got out of my session was a wonderful experience which was healing for me personally, lots of gorgeous photos and a teary eyed husband who loved his anniversary gift. I have referred several people to sara who have had wonderful sessions as well. There have been many people who have seen my photos and wanted to know who did them. Not only does Sara do beautiful boudoir photos she also has done two regular photo sessions with my teen daughters focusing on their love of dance and head shots for use at dance competitions. She worked well with them allowing them freedom to get the poses they wanted and they had fun! She is now my go to for any photos I need boudoir or family. read more

Sarah and her team really have a special talent for making a woman look and feel her best!!! After losing a large amount of weight, I feel better about my size, but still have problem areas that cause me to have insecurities. Sarah finds a way to make you feel and look beautiful even with your perceived "flaws." She's also a genius with lighting and positioning you to bring out the best in each photo! I left my session and photo viewing reveal feeling more confident and loving myself as I am! My hubby loved his photos, and is begging me to go back for another session soon!!! read more

Wonderful, fun, professional! The studio is decorated so feminine and unique, so right at the start you are in a good vibe. Tiffany did makeup and hair- and it looked outstanding, I thought. Sarah was so patient and innovative to work at capturing my best-(I am 65 y/o and very plus sized). She brings out your playful, confident side and her keen photographic eye and ideas for the session are more than I expected. I had looked at her excellent gallery before and afters online-I was amazed. She works very closely to get you a finished package you can be proud of. This gal is on the move UP,,,,,watch for it. read more

I don't consider myself very girly. I don't wear makeup, I've never worn anything with lace, I'm an introvert, and self identify as awkward. I had a photo from high school I wanted to recreate and Sara from Jezebel Vonzephyr Boudoir was eager to help me. What attracted me to her work was that although there are many lingerie shots and poses, there are just as many that are not your traditional boudoir shots. I feel like through outfits and poses Sara manages to capture an individual's personality and she's not afraid to go outside of the box. Having a pre-photoshoot meeting is especially great, you can talk about ideas for outfits, see the studio and meet her. This is huge in making the actual photoshoot comfortable. Everyone on the staff is friendly and treats you like a queen. I had my makeup and hair done by the studio and asked my makeup to be very natural, and that's exactly what I got. The outfits and props I proposed were received with enthusiasm, making me feel good about my choices, which were not traditionally boudoir. Sara was infinitely patient and encouraging through the whole process. The end product was wonderful, Sara made me look like I knew what I was doing. She literally took what is now my all time favorite photo of me, something I didn't think would happen at the age of 38. read more

Let me start off by saying- I am a HUGE cheapskate and if this hadn't been as amazing as it was, I would never spend the kind of money I spent on these pictures, so that's seriously saying something. If I had any complaint whatsoever, I wish I would have known just how much the actual photos themselves cost in the end, rather than just assuming the photo shoot covered that. I have never paid for professional pictures before so was not aware beforehand that the shoot cost didn't include you buying the pictures themselves. ANYWAY. Let me also say- if you can afford this, it is absolutely worth it. The pictures were stunning, and I don't say that lightly- I was blown away at my reveal by how amazing I actually looked. Tiffany and Sara make you feel fantastic and are so encouraging and sincere. I just had my reveal yesterday and have looked at my pictures like thirty times since and am just totally in love with them. I ended up choosing 25 of the 100 available images and god they are gorgeous. Sara really has a great eye for poses that look good and takes your preferences into account. I suggested a few things during the shoot and she took it and totally knocked it out of the park. Tiffany is also a great makeup artist and she made me look like the best possible realistic version of myself if that makes sense- I looked beautiful but not in that photoshop filter kind of way. I totally agree with the other reviews that Sara is a true professional who knows what she is doing and is there to make you look and feel fantastic and be happy with the end result. As I said, it is quite expensive, but in this penny pincher's opinion, very worth it. read more

Sara was awesome! I was super comfortable, which is saying something considering... ;) The whole experience was wonderful, and then the pictures!! They were gorgeous!! The whole experience was amazing!!! read more

When Sara opened her studio I was curious but always said that there's no way she was going to get me in there. Then I started seeing her photos. Every single one was absolutely gorgeous!!! She has some seriously out of this world talent!!! I asked her to photograph my daughter's graduation party and again I was amazed by her talent. She captured the ambiance and joy of the celebration. Of course that made me even more curious. 4 months ago she invited me to one of her workshops. I was terrified but I went. I had no idea what to expect but I went. Sara and her ladies were very attentive to each and every question that was asked and really made me feel welcome. I decided to put a deposit down but hadn't come up with a date yet. It wasn't long after the workshop that I scheduled my shoot. I don't think 24 hours passed before I scheduled it. Last month I attended another workshop and surprisingly I was no longer scared, I was excited. My photoshoot was only a few weeks away. Now it's time to really start preparing. One of her ladies, who also happens to be a friend, gave me a ride home and helped me go through my closet. She pulled things out I wouldn't even have thought of. But we also discovered what I was lacking. Yep you got it, Victoria Secrets here I come!!! However, as hard as it was to wait, I held off until the week of my shoot to go shopping. That week was filled with hair and nail appointments and of course shopping 2 weeks ago was my photoshoot and my reveal was last night. THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!! But I'm getting ahead of myself now aren't I. The morning of my shoot I went through my bags again to make sure I had everything. I'm ready! When I got to the studio, Sara and Makenzie greeted me with open arms and we began by going through my jewelry and clothes. We picked out the outfits for my shoot. I'm a little nervous but really excited! When the aesthetician arrived we began. She started with the facial and body wrap. Omg if you haven't had the galvanic wraps do it, it's awesome! While I was getting the body wrap, Makenzie styled my hair and did my makeup by the time she was finished, the body wrap was also ready to be unwrapped and Sara's caterer arrived with my lunch. Lunch was specifically made for my dietary needs (I'm allergic to just about everything) and it was DELICIOUS!!! After lunch I put on my first outfit and we began. The next couple hours was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. It's been a dream of mine to be a super model and I felt like one that whole day. There were a couple times when Sara had said its time to change and I wasn't finished. I had my own ideas. She loved my ideas and went with it. Those pictures also happen to be some of my favorites. By the time we were finished with my photoshoot I was floating on air and that lasted for a couple days. I still feel beautiful and confident. Even more so after seeing my pictures!! This is definitely something every woman should experience for themselves! It's a very uplifting and powerful feeling and seeing the smile on my husbands face during the reveal was priceless. Thank you Jezebel and team!! Love you ladies and I'm looking forward to my next shoot read more

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW!!!!!! I wish I had done this sooner! I waited a long time to get my pictures done because of typical girly insecurities. After seeing my friends photos I decided to go for it. As soon as I walked in the studio my insecurities flew out the door. These ladies are amazing. Sarah and Makenzie are such a great team and amazing at what they do. They make you feel welcome and comfortable from the minute you walk in the door. The reveal was also such an amazing experience. I absolutely loved the photos and my sweetie was super excited about his surprise. I can't wait to book my next shoot! read more
