raves & reviews about divine brujeria

  • "After my first session with Jude, I booked another a week later!"

    After learning that my body would be changing due to medical reasons, I knew it was time to book with Jude to document my fat, queer beauty in all its glory. Jude has a sincere gift in their ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. After my first session with Jude, I booked another about a week later. It was such a special experience I couldn’t wait to do it again. I am so grateful to Jude for their ability to create a safe and intimate environment for such powerful play and celebration of fat and queer bodies.

  • "They get to the root of self-grounding, self-love, and self-worth."

    Jude is a phenomenal photographer. Not only technically, but spiritually. They get to the root of self-grounding, self-love, and self-worth before each session with a breathing exercise and a talk with you about what you’d like to see happen with your shoot. If you struggle with confidence, Jude eliminates that by explaining every aspect of being in front of the camera — they encourage you to be yourself. If you want to shoot with someone who is patient, loving, talented, and not your average photographer, book with them!

  • "If you have an otherworldly idea, Jude is the one that can make it a reality."

     I chose to book with Jude because of the magic they have created with other clients.  Jude really took the time to understand my vision and allowed me time to physically open up without rushing. If you have an otherworldly idea, Jude is the one that can make it a reality. If people are shy or have not had an opportunity to feel empowered in front of a camera, Jude is the best photographer for them.

  • "Of all the lenses I’ve been in front of, Jude’s always feels the safest."

    Jude’s work in its very essence disrupts oppressive lenses we are conditioned to value. Their work is a challenge to what we deem palatably beautiful or valued. Through Jude’s lens, I get to feel powerful, I get to feel embodied, I get to feel sexy, I get to feel beautiful - when so many others want to tell me not to. Of all the lenses I’ve been in front of, Jude’s always feels the safest. You know that you can give your opinions, say no, and ultimately have fun.

  • "I highly recommend her to everyone who is wanting to have the experience of a lifetime!:

    I chose to book with Jude because we had been connected through body positive and fat positive social media. I admired her work and we knew we had to make magic together. My favorite part of working with Jude is that she centers you before you shoot, the goal is that you feel comfortable, calm and confident. It is rare to find a photographer who genuinely cares about their client and making their visions a reality. I highly recommend her to everyone who is wanting to have the experience of a lifetime!

  • " I love having these for myself to look back on for years to come!"

    Working with Jude for my first boudoir shoot was an absolute dream! From the prep before the shoot to hone in on my vision for the shoot to the energy they created in the studio, every step of the way Jude was incredible. The direction she gave when shooting was so helpful, exactly what I wanted to help make me feel more confident in the moment! And the photos themselves are AMAZING, Jude really did such a wonderful job with them- I love having these for myself to look back on for years to come!

  • "It felt very natural."

    I loved the ease! It felt very natural and it was my first boudoir shoot. I was worried about posing and exploring things and Jude guided me to do poses I wouldn’t have chosen, and I loved them! Jude answered all my questions ahead of time very thoughtfully, and that made it feel so secure and like I could do the same in the room. So I’d tell someone to think about their goals and ask you everything they need to make it happen!

  • "To feel so comfortable and trusting of the skin you are in while being reassured that you are 100% worthy of feeling as beautiful as you look."

    Capturing your truest, most confident self with the flash of a camera, Jude makes an experience unlike any other. To feel so comfortable and trusting of the skin you are in while being reassured that you are 100% worthy of feeling as sexy and beautiful as you look, there is none other like Divine Brujeria.
