I contacted Jess - very last minute - to photograph a pressed flower fabric that I had designed for a grant contest. The brief was to submit a photo in a very specific format that describes my business. I had chosen a location that emphasizes our beautiful pink boulders and blue sky. Jess is a great communicator and after listening to my vision, she warmly convinced me to use a different, more convenient location. When the model I had booked told me she was ill an hour before set-up, Jess found an extraordinary replacement in Sasha. She is able to translate a client’s vision into a deceptively simple visual language. I feel like she has the soul of someone who is much older and very wise. As you can tell I really couldn’t have done this without her and her extremely helpful attitude. My experience with her was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I’ll happily work with her and Sasha again for new product photos.
Jessica is so lovely to work with, she has a beautiful energy which made me feel comfortable and happy right away - which is super important when posing for photos. We got a lot done in a rather short period of time, and we had fun! Jessica is super responsive and managed to get me my pictures edited and in my inbox on the same day! Working with her was truly a pleasure that I can recommend to anyone who wants personal branding photography, fashion photography wedding photos etc! 💓💓💓
I sought out Jessica Castro after seeing her gorgeous Los Angeles wedding photography. I've worked with her as a marketer on a number of fashion content marketing projects. She has a wonderful perspective and she always gets the shot—the one that really sets the project apart. Together we've worked on advertising campaigns for companies like Nordstrom, Old Navy, and eBay, among many others. For these projects, Jessica always brings her eye for beautiful, feminine, and impactful images. I have also sought her out for personal photography needs; like a beautiful maternity set and some family photos she did for us once our baby was born. And because it matters: Jessica also has an incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and calm personality, which is so appreciated at photo shoots. She is a unique and talented creative and you should absolutely seek her out for your photography needs whether you're a brand, agency, or whether you're just looking to have an awesome and cherished set of photos done for you.
Working with Jessica was such an incredible experience, I’m still in awe! Having your photo taken is not always easy, especially if you feel awkward or uncomfortable and I cannot express how easy Jessica made this experience! I felt so comfortable in her presence and she was so helpful with figuring out certain poses and backgrounds for what I needed. I would (and plan to) 1000% book her again in the future because it was an amazing experience and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend!
Phenomenal job capturing the best moments at our annual championship golf tournament! Smooth booking process, very quick turnaround times, fun to work with!
