Recent Testimonials
“Jessica is not only an incredible photographer but an amazing mentor as well. She graciously opened her studio, and her knowledge, to help me grow my skills. This is something you just don’t find very often amongst fellow photographers. She’s truly so genuine about wanting to help you grow and has no judgement or negativity regarding where you’re currently at with your skills or what gear you are using. I can’t wait to do more mentoring sessions with her! I highly recommend her not only as a photographer but as a mentor.”

“I worked with Jessica Doffing Photography as a intern when I was attending the Art Institute of Austin (photography major🙋♀️). She was an open book and she pointed out and explained every step she did. I shot along side her and she reviewed every shot to make sure I captured the right angles. She covered everything from posing, styling, lighting, parent prep, editing, sales, marketing and more. She helped me so much to develop the skill set and confidence I was lacking to expand my knowledge and business in that direction. I wanted to include more newborn photography in my repertoire, which she definitely achieved in doing. Jessica is fun, driven and definitely knows her stuff. I got to know quite well when I interned with her and I found her to be very friendly, professional and approachable and I now feel privileged to be able to call her my friend. She gives 100% of herself and I will be forever grateful for all of her expertise and knowledge she has shared with me. Two thumbs up from me!!”

“I am a new newborn photographer and had the pleasure of spending the day with Jessica doing 3 sessions. She was gracious and kind, offering lots of tips and tricks as well as information about how she has built her business. It was a huge help to see how she handles her sessions, and seeing the beautiful images she was able to create was a huge inspiration to me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a mentor!”
