A Creative Journey of Inspiration, Evolution, Art and Storytelling.

JESSICA RAE

INSPIRATION THROUGH ART

Over a decade ago, fueled by frustration and a deep-rooted dissatisfaction with society's unrealistic standards of beauty and body image, I took a stand.

Tired of the constant self-criticism and the pressure to conform, I decided to break free from the harmful narrative and embark on a mission to reclaim my own sense of self-worth.

This journey became the foundation of my photography studio,
Artist Jessica Rae—an empowering space dedicated to helping others see their true beauty beyond the surface and embrace their authentic selves.

A Portrait Studio that offers a
THERAPEUTIC ART EXPERIENCE

The photo studio quickly became a sanctuary for individuals to step into their power and celebrate their bodies, their stories, and their uniqueness. Through intimate portrait photography, I helped countless people break free from the chains of body negativity, showing them that they are worthy of love and celebration just as they are.

As I continue to evolve, so does my mission. My creative focus has expanded beyond the lens of photography.

Through my role at MisMacK Clean Cosmetics, I’m working to reshape the narrative of beauty, encouraging people to embrace authenticity, express themselves freely, and connect with their truest selves.

Additionally, my video journal series "Untethered Journal" has become a space where I document my personal journey of growth, creativity, and self-discovery, inviting others to join me in the exploration of what it means to live a fully authentic life.

This is just the beginning of a larger mission: to continue breaking down the barriers that confine us, to explore new ways of connecting, and to inspire others to embrace their own transformative journeys. This space is where we celebrate not only the art of photography but the art of living authentically—without apology.

My mission is clear, to empower you to embrace and celebrate your unique self.

I strive to dismantle the societal constructs that breed self-doubt and replace them with a canvas for self-love and appreciation.

  • Why Photography?

    For me, Photography is a Therapeutic Art Experience.

    It is a cathartic, visual expression to aid in facilitating the Celebration of Triumph and Navigation of Trauma.

Sweet words from humans I have had the honour of creating art with :

  • Jessica is kind, thoughtful and incredible to work with!!
    Her overall aesthetics are amazing of course, but what really separates her apart from other artists is her attention to detail and compassion (not too mention she is so funny!).
    She really gives it her all with her clients making sure they're comfortable and captured in a way that is true to them and their personality.
    Love this lady and her Goddess energy, would absolutely recommend!

  • I had wanted more intimate images of myself for quite some time. After seeing photographs Jessica captured with other men, specifically men in lingerie, really helped confirm that she was the right choice for me.
    I definitely feel a lot more confident about myself after seeing the art we created together.
    The music was great, the conversation was fantastic, and I didn't feel like we were in a rush

    -N.B.

  • I cannot say enough about Jessica. She is a true kindred soul and I instantly felt comfortable with her. She has an amazing gift of capturing who you are as a person in every shot and you will not meet a more passionate artist. It was such a magical day and I walked away from that incredible experience feeling empowered, beautiful and so full of emotion.

    And I made a new friend!

    It was truly the greatest gift I have ever given myself. Thank you so much, Jessica…I am so grateful that you were the one I came to. xo

  • "For me, this experience is not and will never been about vanity; it signifies exploration, questioning and discovery. It took me on voyage through aging, through motherhood, through life as an immigrant, giving back some of the support and respect I craved.

  • “Jessica is an amazing person. She is kind, thoughtful, warm, and compassionate.

    She makes you feel at ease and is very supportive. She is creative and helps you feel confident and helps you open up to express yourself. She is great at capturing you in a light that you might not see yourself.

    Thank you Jessica for making me feel confident.”

    — Mic

  • “My biggest fear was that I would feel uncomfortable with being in underwear or less. But from the initial meeting, Jessica is open and funny and fun and honest. She makes you feel comfortable.

    The photo shoot was, as I described it to myself, “liberating”. My mind and confidence leaving the session was through the roof. I legitimately came away from this experience with a sense of pride. More comfortable in myself and even more confident. “
    — I

You deserve to revel in your uniqueness,
