Jennifer does Amazing photography. I have been super insecure since I had kids, And went out on a whim to do a boudoir photo shoot. Jennifer had excellent communication from the pre photo shoot consultation to the photo reveal. She will make you look and feel like the Queen that you are! She respects your time and most importantly, your time. This woman is talented. Schedule your session, today!

The best experience ever. You feel nervous when you come there but as soon as you meet Jennifer she makes you feel so comfortable that you forget that you were nervous before. After hair and makeup the photo shoot starts. Jennifer guides you through the entire shoot and the pictures are amazing.

I can't express how much I loved this experience! I originally reached out to book a session to give my future hubby as a gift at our wedding. I loved the experience so much, I've already booked another session. Everything was explained to me in great detail during my initial phone consultation and I received emails throughout my waiting period until the day of my shoot. I went in nervous and not knowing what to expect but immediately felt at ease because Jennifer is amazing and kind! Taylor did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, I felt like a movie star!
During the actual photo shoot, Jennifer was my biggest cheerleader, encouraging me and guiding me every step of the way. She literally demonstrated every pose and made sure I was 100% comfortable with each. I had so much fun during my shoot that time slipped by. She made me feel so comfortable and confident that I had a really hard time choosing for my album because I liked them all! So, if your considering a boudoir shoot, I highly recommend Ericson's Boudoir. You will leave your experience feeling beautiful, confident and empowered.

Hands down the best photographer I've ever had. I use her mini sessions regularly (she has a really good deal for buying a bundle) and am very excited about the beautiful collection of photos I have so far of my growing family. I hope to have Jennifer as my photographer for many years to come, I'll never find one as great as her! In all honesty I was never a huge photo taker, but when I found Jennifer we became hooked and are regulars now! Check out @sofie_yoda on Instagram to see how she has captured our lives

I booked a session with Jennifer for my mom(90) and I. I was very pleased with the way she captured the rapport between mother and daughter.
