Clients reviews about Jessica Haderlie Photography

We booked a senior portrait session with Jessica for our daughter, and wow, we couldn't be happier with the experience or the final photos. From the moment we met her, Jessica was kind, gracious, and incredibly patient. She made our daughter feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire shoot, which truly shows in every picture. Her talent behind the camera is exceptional. The photos are absolutely stunning and captured our daughter's personality so beautifully. These are memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only gifted but also a joy to work with, I can't recommend Jessica highly enough. We are beyond grateful for the incredible experience and the beautiful finished product. Thank you, Jessica! ~ terrykurtz

I can not say enough good things about my family’s experience using Jessica as our photographer! We were traveling to SoCal for a family vacation and I wanted updated family pics. I specifically wanted pictures on the beach, my happy place! This was our first family vacation and first family pictures with just me and my kids, after going through a divorce. Not only was Jessica SO extremely sweet and put us all at ease during our session- but she is AMAZING at her craft! The actual session was such a fun and light hearted, no stress experienced, and when I got the pictures back, tears filled my eyes with how BEAUTIFUL the photos were!! Literally every.single.photo was absolutely perfect! Jessica is a very talented photographer and a very sweet and kind and fun person to work with too. I will 100% be using her again in the future and recommend her to anyone! ~ Erica S

Jessica is a phenomenal photographer. She was recommended to me through word of mouth for a last-minute pregnancy photoshoot, and I’m so grateful I was able to hire her. She was proactive in getting back to me, understood the urgency of my request, and made me feel completely comfortable on the day of the shoot, which resulted in stunning photographs that I will cherish forever. She has a beautiful understanding of light and a rare ability to capture the delicate beauty of intimate emotions and personal experiences. My expectations were far surpassed, and I truly hope I get the chance to work with her again. ~ Nataliya P

We LOVE Jessica! Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous! We honestly couldn't be happier with them. And we were surprised how quickly she got them back to us. Family picture day tends to be my most stressful day of the year because one of my 4 kids loves to act his craziest on this day every year. I gave Jessica a heads up and she knew exactly what to do. She had everyone laughing & having fun while she captured those beautiful moments. She also naturally has a calm presence that helped my family relax and capture their most natural shots. I definitely would use Jessica again and I recommend her to everyone. ~ Aly

We chose Jessica to do our maternity & newborn photos and are so glad we did. While we’re still waiting for our baby to join us earthside, we absolutely loved our maternity photo shoot experience. This was the first time we were photographed as a family and were able to let our hair down and just be us. At so many points in the session we were having such a great time we forgot we were even being photographed! Our 2 year old toddler was a blast to do photos with and I think a lot of that is attributed to Jessica also being a mom and not trying to fit into some box or pose we don’t fit in. Thank you Jessica! ~ Maria B

Participating in the Muse photography workshop was such a game changer for me. I learned so much by watching Jessica doing her craft, as well as the other photographers who were there. I was also able to ask so many questions about photography in general. I learned a lot about shooting film, light, posing, the importance of styling, as well as taking photos of products. On top on that, I was able to connect with new photographers and artists. Jessica is really kind and fun to be around! She makes people feel comfortable. I highly recommend participating in her workshops or booking her as your photographer! ~ Laura C

Jessica is incredibly talented. Her photos feel like organic works of art—timeless, meaningful, and truly tangible keepsakes for years to come. My husband and I were visiting San Clemente on vacation and booked her for our maternity photos, specifically looking for a film photographer who could capture that classic, lasting feel. She exceeded every expectation. Not only did she deliver beautiful images, but she was also so kind, patient, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. We absolutely love our photos and feel so grateful we had the chance to work with her. ~ Lauren A

Jessica is wonderful to work with! She has taken photos for our family multiple times and each time she brings such a warmth and calm to the whole experience. She is so very patient with my kids and encourages breaks to get their wiggles out. She is thoughtful and kind with each member of my family, making sure everyone feels comfortable and is having a positive experience. She comes to the shoot with her own ideas and expertise, but is also very open and flexible to my ideas and preferences. And I’m so very happy with the images we receive each time we work with her! ~ Allison S

Jessica is the absolute best! The family photos she shot for us are the best we've ever had captured of our family. They are truly stunning and gallery wall worthy to be cherished forever!! There are so many favorites it's going to take me a moment to figure out which ones we are going to frame! We wanted a more candid take on traditional family photos and she delivered exactly the style we were hoping for. The booking process and meet up was seamless and Jessica is the sweetest to work with! Our kids had the best time too. I'm so so thankful and can't wait to shoot with her again next year. ~ Kimberly S

Jessica is truly talented at her craft. I booked a family session with Jessica and right from the start, she made us feel so comfortable. She was so patient and good at getting my very active 2 year old son having fun and laughing. Jessica took her time during our session and captured my family so beautifully. We are beyond happy with how the photos turned out and will cherish them forever. I have already booked an upcoming maternity session with Jessica and I can’t wait to see the beautiful moments that she captures! ~ Joyce K

Jessica was genuinely amazing. She handled everything for our family photos from scouting location per my last-minute request, offered us digital shots plus 1 special, sentimental role of film, and made sure to get shots of every different combination of our family members. As you can see, the shots are beautiful too!! I also like how her website is formatted for downloading the photos- makes it easy. Amazing experience, thank u Jessica!!! ~ Ali T

I recently had a branding shoot with Jessica, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! As an event florist, I was looking for headshots and portfolio images that truly represent my style, and Jessica delivered beyond my expectations. Her headshots are warm and inviting, capturing my personality perfectly. I love how she made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shines through in the final images. She has an incredible eye for detail, and the way she captured the colors and textures of the flowers is just *chef’s kiss* spectacular. What I appreciate most is Jessica’s versatility; her blend of film and digital photography gives the photos a unique depth and character that you don’t see every day. It adds a timeless quality that aligns perfectly with my brand. Working with Jessica was a breeze—she’s professional, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about her craft. I had a great time during the shoot, and it felt more like a collaboration than anything else. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your brand through stunning photography, I highly recommend Jessica! ~ Narisa C

Jessica is the absolute best, such a patient and calm presence. She facilitated our session in such a loving and playful way that made us feel more comfortable in front of a camera. She captured this time in our lives more beautifully than I could have ever imagined! Often find ourselves looking back at the moments she captured and the sweet pictures we will surely cherish forever. Truly can’t thank you enough! ~ Brittany Z

Jessica was incredible and I'm so grateful to have found her!! I did a mini mommy and me photo shoot and it was everything I've ever wanted. I've gotten so many compliments on the photos and I will treasure them forever. As a new mom I also had difficulty soothing my baby and Jessica was amazing and helped us get the beautiful photos that I will treasure forever. ~ Dr. S

Jessica is the best! We were looking for a photographer after moving to north county area and she exceeds expectations! She captures the most beautiful photos and her aesthetic is so dreamy. She is so great with kids so it makes lifestyle family photos such a great experience. Every time people see our photos they ask who our photographer is and I can’t refer her enough! ~ Angie M

I can’t even begin to describe how much these photos mean to me. Jessica was so good with my kids and was calm and caring for each of them. She learned their names and was so sweet to each of them. Our photos are so beautiful. They are so crisp and the colors are timeless. She also is so good with scale and placement. I’m forever thankful I found her! ~ megan h

We did newborn photos with Jessica and couldn't have been happier that we chose her. She was easy to communicate with leading up to the shoot, was warm, kind and made us feel at ease (even with a crying baby) during the session, and delivered a beautiful photo gallery within the time frame promised. She captured this special moment in our lives in a timeless and authentic way. ~ Jessica D

I finally had the pleasure of Jessica capturing our family photos this year - a dream of mine since I discovered her account. Not only did she go above and beyond to make it a seamless session (think four kids and a grumpy husband) she worked absolute magic. She has the dreamiest locations and is so talented. I will treasure these photos forever. ~ Jodie T

We absolutely loved working with Jessica on our maternity photos. She was communicative and easy to work with, and we're so so happy with how our photos turned out. There are so many that we can't wait to frame in our nursery and know we'll cherish forever! We can't wait to have her shoot newborn photos for us in a few short months. ~ Meagan M

Jessica is a gem!! Not only is she an incredible photographer, she is also SO sweet and patient with our little ones and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured such beautiful, natural, candid moments from this special season in our lives. We can't wait for our next shoot already! Book her for all your shoots!!! ~ Hope T

Jessica was a joy to work with. From the moment I reached out to her, she was flexible and responsive. Her easy going personality really lightened our photoshoot. She made it fun for my little one and let him play. It made the session enjoyable even with a toddler. I’m glad I found a photographer our family can work with into our future! ~ Jen R

The moments Jessica captured on film were beautiful peeks into our lives with our children. She shot cuddles, laughs, jumps, whispers — the precious moments mothers have every day, but rarely get to keep. I love how the photos turned out, their richness and depth were perfect. ~ Samantha H

This is the second time we have had our family photos taken by Jessica and I am crying! They are so incredibly beautiful. She she truly knows how to capture the beauty of the landscape and bring out the love we share as a family. I will cherish and treasure every single one. ~ Stephanie T

Jessica captured a mommy & me session with my children/newborn. She was amazing at making us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos are so beautiful, natural, and unposed, which I love! She really captured me and my kids in our newborn bubble so perfectly and I’m so grateful for it! ~ Jannelle Y
