Fabulous experience from start to finish! From booking to final prints, Jennifer communicated well, put me at ease, was fun and relaxed while being too-notch professional, and made my first boudoir shoot experience something for the record books! She understood my goals and desires and pushed my comfort zone when she knew better results were obtainable. My photo shoot day was a transformative experience for me. I left feeling as if I had a secret that no one else knew and I stood up taller and walked a bit more confidently because of it. Jennifer is fantastic…I recommend her without question! Less
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for making me look like a movie star when I did my photoshoot with you. You are a wonderful photographer and can capture the best shots and poses for any woman's shape. We are all a little self-conscious about our bodies but you definitely captured the best in anyone. If I am ever visiting your city, I will definitely contact you, just see how you are doing.
I could not be more pleased with the results! Jennifer has an amazing talent and truly makes you feel so comfortable and confident. I was blown away when I saw my pictures. I cannot wait to do another session in her studio.
I will preface this review by saying, I have known Jenn for a very long time & she is just a stand up human being - Super down to Earth and a vibrant personality. That said, I had been hesitating on doing a session due to my own insecurities (we all have them) and finally I just decided to go for it.

I will preface this review by saying, I have known Jenn for a very long time & she is just a stand up human being - Super down to Earth and a vibrant personality. That said, I had been hesitating on doing a session due to my own insecurities (we all have them) and finally I just decided to go for it. The whole day was so much fun, I forgot that I was “exposing” myself and just got super comfortable, lots of laughing and kidding around. But the best part… the reveal! Wow, let me just say that my mind was blown. To be able to see myself through someone else’s eyes (or lens, in this case)… well, I have a much more positive look at myself now that I’ve gotten a different view. Confidence through the roof. So grateful for the opportunity in and of itself and even more so that it was shared with a lifelong friend. If you’re unsure, Just Do It!! You will not regret it. 🙌🏼💛 Oh- and the rain room- don’t pass that up either. 🔥 Less
Jennifer was amazing to work with. She put me totally at ease and the shoot was so fun. Looking at my proofs I couldn't believe how amazing I looked. Her use of lighting is one of my favorite aspects of her style
First time doing a session ever. Jennifer made me feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. I have a lot of body images, and she helped me see the beauty in myself. She is an amazing woman. Has an amazing story to share and amazing photographer.
I had the most empowering, and frankly, fun day with Jennifer! She made me feel completely relaxed throughout the shoot, which was important, since I hadn't done a session like this previously. The pictures were stunning, and I love the high-quality book of photos that I chose to commemorate the experience.
Amazing experience! Absolutely everything from the booking process to the final delivery of the finished work was professional and exceeded my expectations. The quality of the photos are what you would expect to be published in a magazine or as a piece in a posh art gallery. Definitely will be using Jennifer James again!
Where do I even start? I found Jennifer, honestly, through a Google search. After scouring the internet for a boudoir photographer in my area, I stumbled upon her last minute. I looked through her site and absolutely LOVED what I saw. I also needed a photographer that included hair and makeup in the package.

Where do I even start? I found Jennifer, honestly, through a Google search. After scouring the internet for a boudoir photographer in my area, I stumbled upon her last minute. I looked through her site and absolutely LOVED what I saw. I also needed a photographer that included hair and makeup in the package. This was going to be a surprise for my husband and I didn't want to to give anything away before my appointment on my scheduled day. I scheduled my phone consultation with Jennifer and everything just clicked. Sparked! I felt so comfortable just speaking with her, telling her all of my insecurities, and just letting her into my brain for a bit. Because I was going to be a client in her new studio here, she kept in constant communication with me, letting me know the progress on construction and if we needed to push back my session. We did but I was totally on board because I knew it would be completely worth it. When it was finally time, I was excited to be the first client in the new studio. I was greeted y Jennifer herself along with her makeup artist for the day. I was guided to the dressing room to change into a comfy robe to get my hair and makeup done. Jennifer asked me to pull out the outfits I brought so she could create a personalized shot list for my session, which I totally appreciated. I love an organized photoshoot! She made me feel COMPLETELY at home. The secret is to just listen to her! She knows what she is doing. I was so comfortable in my own skin that I didn't even give a second thought to my insecurities. We laughed, we laughed some more, and we contorted into weird positions to get that SHOT! Want to know the BEST part of her studio? It's the freaking rain room!!!!! It's so much fun and I highly recommend this set to anyone that just wants to have some fun! After my shoot, I dried off, got dressed, and then we sat down and reviewed all of my images. She helped me pick and choose my faves (I had a lot). I love that I was in control of choosing my own images. I was able to decide which photos I thought were hot and sexy and just darn good! I received my digital images back in record time and am now awaiting my physical album. I cannot thank Jennifer enough for making my first boudoir session one to remember. I'll definitely be going back to her for another session soon! Less
I absolutely recommend Jennifer! I had such an amazing time! Everything was professional and fun all at the same time. My photos turned out phenomenal.....its crazy how she knows exactly what poses, the lighting and props to make someone look their best! I will definitely be back to do that again ! 😊😊😊
Going in I was very nervous. Jennifer made me feel so comfortable. As someone who has loads of self esteem issues, I left there feeling beautiful and respected.

Absolutely THE BEST!!! I was so in love with my first session that I did a second! Jennifer is extremely talented, not only in her photography skills but in making you feel at ease. I’ve recommended her to friends who have echoed the same sentiments. Invest in yourself, you won’t regret it!
As us women age, we start to see our body’s change, especially after children, which can be quiet scary and hard to handle. Things just don’t seem to be as tight anymore or in the same place it was 15-20 years ago, and we can begin to look at ourselves more negatively than before.

As us women age, we start to see our body’s change, especially after children, which can be quiet scary and hard to handle. Things just don’t seem to be as tight anymore or in the same place it was 15-20 years ago, and we can begin to look at ourselves more negatively than before. I decided to reserve a spot with Jennifer to do my boudoir shoot when it hit me that, while I may not be 25 anymore and things aren’t where they once were, at 45 I am at my prime. I wanted to capture that before I got any older. I’m not the most daring or outgoing person and I was obviously scared to have someone take pics of me in lingerie(!) but can I just tell you how amazing Jennifer and her team are?! She made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. She helped me select my fits for the shoot and allowed me to be a little creative as well. After about 20 minutes in, I was so comfortable that I asked her if I could try a few different poses. She was patient with me as I kept forgetting my right from left and assured me it happens to everyone. Ha! I would say the best part is after the shoot when she shares your photos with you. Jennifer is an artist!!! She took the most amazing photos of me. I saw myself in a way that I haven’t for a very long time. I was a beautiful, sexy, badass in every picture! I left that session feeling so good and so appreciative of who I am and how far I’ve come in life. In a word, it was EMPOWERING! I highly recommend leaving your fears behind you and taking the step to meet yourself again through Jennifer’s lens. It is well worth it. P.S. I’ve been sending pics periodically to my husband just to kind of tease him during his workday. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time, ladies! So if you’re doubting it….don’t! You’ll be glad you did this for yourself. Less

My adhd ticks and weird behaviors never made her skip a beat. I never felt so comfortable in my own skin in my entire life. I got my wall art today and to say I nearly cried is an understatement.

If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! Jennifer is incredible! Jeet did fantastic with my makeup. The whole shoot was so comfortable and fun! Jennifer was so patient with directions and paint. She just knew what would be perfect for my body. She truly made me feel like a celebrity. I was so excited to get my pictures back and they were so perfect!
From the first phone call with Jennifer to the actual shoot to the follow up emails... I expected nice pictures but when I saw them, I was in awe! I didn't know I could look like that! Jennifer was kind, sweet and an excellent coach through the whole shoot. If you are thinking about it, stop thinking and do it. You will NOT regret it.
I could not have imagined a better experience! Jennifer immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease while helping me push my comfort zones like I wanted to! I am so very glad that I did this shoot with Jennifer and Supernova Boudoir!!
I did my photoshoot with Jennifer on Monday November 8th. She bypassed everything I ever imagined. She was so professional was super sweet the whole time.

I have done shoots before and none were like this. She show you picture the whole time and explains and shows you poses. She will make the most novice into a pro in minutes. She is amazing at her job and she really knows what she is doing. if you are on the verge of a shoot I say go for it you will not regret it. if you are worried about outfits or posing she will totally be there every step of the way. She has an amazing eye for color blocking. so again if you are on the fence do it and do it for yourself you won't be disappointed and you will see yourself through a lense that you will never imagine. thank you Jennifer for an amazing shoot.

Amazing Amazing Amazing! Everything about the experience is wonderful- from the communication, to Flynn's hair/makeup skills, to how comfortable Jennifer makes you feel throughout the whole process, to how wonderful the pictures come out. I can't recommend Supernova Boudoir enough!
Simply amazing! I was super nervous about doing this for myself, but Jennifer made it chill and relaxed. My photos turned out gorgeously!
The best experience ever. Jennifer is truly amazing. Jennifer absolutely makes you see what you do not see in yourself. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident. I left this experience feeling so empowered and beautiful. Thank you so much for everything.
What an amazing experience! Jennifer immediately makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She is extremely professional and well organized. So glad I finally checked this off my bucket list!
I have a hard time picking a few words to describe Jennifer and my photo session. Fun, beautiful, surprising, sexy, amazing are a few. I pictures she showed me as she was taking them and my sneak peek blew my mind. Never have I ever seen myself in such a sexy and beautiful way. If you are remotely thinking about scheduling a session, do it!
I went into my boudoir appointment terrified and nervous. Since the moment I walked in Jennifer made me feel so comfortable. It was a wondering experience and I walked out of there loving my body. I felt so beautiful, fearless and empowered! It was the best experience ever! Thank you Jennifer!!!! I can't wait to see all the pictures!
Jennifer is a talented photographer and such a sweet person! I had a great session with her and my photos are beyond amazing! The hardest part of this whole process was picking out which photos to purchase, they were ALL so good!!
I had the most amazing boudoir photoshoot with the talented Jennifer James! She made me feel so comfortable from the moment I met her. All the photos were stunning! I had such a hard time choosing which ones to purchase they were all amazing! Book your boudoir session ladies, you will not be disappointed!
I had an incredible session with Jennifer last month. Jennifer kept it fun and light. I felt prepared and comfortable before, during and after the shoot! She has such a skill to capture you in a way you never think to see yourself. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the DC area looking for an amazing boudoir photographer. So happy to have this experience -thank you, Jennifer!

Jen is wonderful to work with and makes the experience a comfortable one for the uninitiated! She is encouraging and positive, and even demonstrates poses that may be new to her clients.

Last month I had the absolute privilege of having a Boudoir shoot with the ever talented, Jennifer Lynn James, and it was such an amazing experience I felt compelled to share my story and why I booked this shoot for myself!! I'm 41 years young and my name is Jennifer, but everyone calls me, Joppy. I'm a tomboy at heart and live in NOVA on a small farm with my family, 1 hubby of a decade, 2 human kids (a 15 year old son, and a 7 year old daughter), 6 goats, 3 Frenchies, and 2 barn cats! To me it's a glamorous lifestyle, but it's not one spent dolled up! I was scrolling Facebook one day and saw a friend post her photos and I was blown away! They were beautiful, classy, and timeless and I was so intrigued I messaged her asking about the photographer! I joined Jennifer's Facebook group, Supernova Boudi Babes, and discovered there were others each with their own beautiful Boudoir photos and reasons for having them taken! This was a group full of different women from all walks of life who inspired and supported each other and I wanted to be apart of it! It was time for me to do this for myself and celebrate where I was in my life because it hasn't always been pretty! I'm a survivor of repeated childhood trauma and early Mother loss that led to depression, anxiety, divorce, addiction, suicidal thoughts, and one incredible and beautiful comeback!! I had been busy doing a lot of soul work over the last decade and finally felt good in my own skin and had finally discovered myself. Sadly, I still saw all of the negatives when I looked in the mirror. I wanted to see the strong, beautiful woman I knew I had been all along and this photo shoot was exactly what I needed to do for me to see myself in a new light! Photographs are great for storytelling and celebrating moments in life we don't want to forget and more often than not, we women are taking the pictures of everyone else. We should celebrate our feminity and our bodies to remind ourselves of what we've overcome or simply because we feel beautiful! Booking the shoot with Jennifer was an experience that truly changed my perspective and built my confidence from within! I was nervous and excited and not sure how I'd pull off sexy, but all of the nerves went away once I got to Jennifer's beautiful loft studio! She's such a lovely woman with a beautiful soul herself, and she talks you through every pose and encourages you with a fun and lighthearted vibe! Finn, her in house make-up artist, set the tone for a lovely day by glamming me up and doing my hair which was a first for me and she has a groovy Irish accent! I left the shoot feeling like a Queen for the day and was on cloud 10! My husband went with me to my reveal and together with Jennifer's help we put together my album! The only thing difficult about my shoot was picking through all of the beautiful images because they were ALL that good!! My marriage got a boost from this experience because I felt more confident and sexy! Most importantly for my story is I finally saw the woman that I have worked so hard to become! I can't say enough good things about Jennifer's talent and will be singing her praises any chance I get! She's an extremely talented photographer and is an artist in the truest sense! Book your Boudoir shoot ladies, and Jennifer and her team will do the rest! Less
Best time of my life... every women needs to do this at least once in their life..
Jennifer is simply the sweetest soul and most talented photographer ever! Her attention to detail and eye is incomparable! Every women should have a boudoir shoot for themselves and experience feeling that beautiful! I walked out of her gorgeous studio on cloud 10!!! My hubby can't keep his hands off of me which is a nice perk!!
I had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I felt gorgeous and she made me feel completely at ease. I wanted to stay longer!! I am definitely going to be using her services again. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
Jen is amazing from beginning to end. She makes you feel comfortable and I can’t even count how many times she used adjectives like stunning, beautiful, gorgeous. You question what she sees until your reveal and then you are fully BLOWN AWAY. I have never felt better about myself pre and postpartum than going to see my pictures.

We both fell in love with every single picture that I went back to do a maternity session! She made me so comfortable, like I had known her for years, so going back for a maternity one was a piece of cake. I had already mastered the booty arches, etc ;). Her skill to capture the absolute perfect picture makes it incredibly hard to narrow down when it's time to pick pictures for your album/artwork. If you've ever considered boudoir, you need to BOOK NOW and go get sexified withJennifer. Less
Book an appointment NOW! My album was a gift for my now, husband. He is just so happy and in awe of the photos!!!! I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Jennifer and get my hair and make up done by Blush Away Makeup!! The whole experience was FANTASTIC and any initial nervous energy and doubts I had went away very quickly!!
Jennifer did a fantastic job of making me feel comfortable. There were robes available, little touches to make me feel taken care of. She has thought of everything. I never had to worry about how to pose--she told me what to do and encouraged me along the way. The photos are unbelievable and her album choices are like pieces of art. It was so worth it!

Supernova Boudoir and Jennifer are absolutely amazing. She has such a talent for showing women how beautiful they are. I love that she caters to women of all shapes and sizes! I get so excited every time she gives us a new sneak peek of her amazing art work! If you are in the DMV area, you are doing yourself a disservice if don’t hire Supernova!
Jennifer was so much fun to work with! We laughed just about the entire time, got some AMAZING images together and had an all around excellent time!

Jennifer is an amazing photographer who makes her customers feel incredibly comfortable. Her work is edited meticulously with an attention to detail that truly is an art. If you have the opportunity to work with Jennifer, take it.
If you are even remotely nervous about taking boudoir photos, then Jennifer is the photographer you want. She and her team helped me feel and look absolutely amazing, sexy, and confident! All of the photos were stunning and so far beyond my expectations that the hardest part of this whole process was choosing what to purchase!
