On this episode, we chat with owner and founder Jaida of Fiercely Feminine Studios. In her own words: Photography is what I love! Getting to focus my camera on women from all walks of life and seeing how it empowers and transforms them is priceless. For 7 years, I’ve nurtured this business and have watched it grow. I’ve always understood the power of photography, but even more so now that I’m a mom. It’s here to hold the moments still and to pass on for future generations. Photography also helps me to celebrate myself, to take time for me, to feel beautiful even with chaos. I believe that every woman should feel beautiful and have at least one beautiful portrait of herself. As a photographer, I am committed to giving each client a photography experience where she can breathe, love on herself, and shine. When I’m not capturing the beauty of my clients, I love to travel, lay on the beach, read books and spend time with my loved ones. The visionary goals of Fiercely Feminine Studios is to empower women of color to love themselves unapologetically through a self-care based photography experience. Her mission is to provide our clients with a transformational photography experience where she is able to prioritize herself, if only for a few hours, and leaves remembering exactly how fiercely feminine she is.
