“It has been such a pleasure and you are filled with so much passion for the craftsmanship you do. Thank you for taking me the way I am. Much appreciated.

“Until today, I never acknowledged the true art of photography. People think you just push a button and boom....not the case. You captured a photo of my daughter that is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It says so much. Look how powerful she looks and gorgeous at the same time...you made me cry seeing that. I thank you for this forever...”

“Thank you for being part of my journey... these portraits were taken a few months before I became pregnant with my daughter. It was the last time I did an epic road trip down through the south west states by myself... after leaving my marriage. This trip was really about honouring myself as an individual and processing the painful surrender of my “failed” marriage. It was about marrying myself again and remembering the beauty and magic I can create on my own. What I didn’t know is that this trip was my last hurrah as a single woman for the rest of my life. Now I have a daughter and I will forever be a mother. Even more grateful to these portraits that forever will remind me who I am and what life I bring to my own life. That is an eternal gift for both me and my girl.”

“I am fortunate to be *seen* by her—not just by her lens, but by her artist’s soul. I’ve got a session with her in 2022 and I can pretty much guarantee it’s going to be mind-blowing. it’s hard to see yourself—to truly know what you are. what are you? a woman, queer, disabled, a writer, Taiwanese American, a sweetheart, a person in love with the world? it’s all there in the image. look; it’s there.”

“Your eye for transforming a room into magic is astounding. I’ve never felt so comfortable with my body, so, thank you for these. Knowing I’ll have these amazing, once-in-a-lifetime images is too valuable for words.”

“I was thinking about the unfolding over these years since our first photo shoot in 2017 when I started my company. Back then, the photos were more reserved, a little less serious. And now, there’s a woman that stares back at me in the photos. She’s confident, and that allows her to be less guarded - more playful - connected - grateful. Thank you Jacquelyn for allowing me to witness the transformation. People may think a photo is just a photo, but it’s not. Not with you. You allow us to bear witness to the metamorphosis. Thank you 1 million times over!”

“Thank you for your gift and allowing me to be me, raw and uncensored. Mad love, always.”

“Jacqui took that of me two years ago and it completely changed my capacity for beingness and how I looked at myself. The life-changing magic that happened to me tonight was made possible by the gift of being able to see myself.I had gained a lot of weight, my body dysmorphia was a lot more virulent than it is now, and at the time was staying on a friend’s couch and felt like shit about myself. And here this incredibly talented visionary helped me see the person I carried around and protected in my heart for all that time, through all that trauma...in my own face. I saw her clear as fucking day. I’d never been photographed by a professional photographer that way before and I was terrified of being in front of a camera - I almost didn’t do it - but Jacqui made me feel so calm and beautiful, but in a way that’s not deeply dysfunctional and hierarchal as fuck. Like who I was was more than enough to be seen and witnessed, beautiful.If you can hire her, do. She’s worth every single penny and she is *well* on her way to being a legend and an icon of her craft.”
