“I sought out Jessica's help because I was getting ready to do new headshots and had really come to understand just how important they were as a first impression to even get considered for auditions. But I was having trouble unlocking what impression I was giving people in classes/auditions and whether that matched my headshot. I didn't know exactly what my niche was or how to market myself properly. And I had already paid a pretty penny to a few different people to help me figure it out, but still felt really lost.
Insert Jessica. She saw me instantly in a way that allowed me to embrace parts of myself that I thought I had to put aside for the sake of my "type." I now have a solid understanding of what worlds I fit into, what shows I want to target, and how to show up in headshots, marketing materials, and classes/auditions in a way that is consistent and on brand. And I have amazing headshots thanks to our preparation work together, including nailing my brand, styling for the shoot, and internal work during the shoot itself.
Even more than that, I have a strong sense of my own essence now, I have finally found and am loving my personal style, and I have a new wardrobe that shows it all off. Next up, red carpet!”

“Jessica Myhr is brilliant at discerning what is unique about everybody, and then creating a style and marketing strategy to highlight the individual.
She helped me prepare for my new headshots, and I LITERALLY haven't met a single industry person who has seen them without commenting on how great they are. At least three have asked who did my pictures, and while I love my photographer, Jessica is the one I credit with making my shots stand out.
She's always available and helpful with any branding question I have, and even after my headshots, she continues to be vital resource for me when it comes to my career. I couldn't recommend Jessica more highly.”
Chris Carfizzi, Actor, Writer, Producer, TV and Film: “Billions”, “Daredevil”
“If you're working with Jessica Myhr, clearly you're serious about how you present yourself. Good news! Jessica is too. I'm very happy with my new headshots and style. My reps are very happy. On Social Media, the initial reaction to my new style was "Nailed it." I worked hard with Jessica and it paid off. And your newfound knowledge extends past your shoot or event. I've taken my new insights on color and style into auditions. I've even applied it to my personal wardrobe choices. Get ready to do the right kind of hard work. You're in good hands.”
Anastasia Wilson, Actor, Deviser, Designer
“The most concise thing I can say is that you have created a most needed niche for actors and have cracked my world right open as far as fully realizing my most authentic self. My career, let alone headshots, will never be the same again. I am so grateful for you. I love how confident I feel in the audition room, on set, in rehearsals, everywhere! Really you have helped me to realize and show me with ease and confidence... and I love it! I also feel great showing my truest unique self as an actor and a person. Thank you thank you thank you!”
Katy Wilson, Actress, Singer
“Jessica gave me style tools that went way beyond just ‘prep for headshots’. She totally revolutionized my thought process on shopping, color, and thinking about clothes from the camera’s point of view. And doing the color palette work was so illuminating, for both my onstage and off stage wardrobe. I felt so confident walking into my headshot session and knowing exactly what looks I wanted to shoot. She helped make the whole process a breeze and I can’t wait to work with Jessica again!”
“You CRUSHED that styling. Everything was PERFECTION. So clear. So textured. Such a breeze.”

“I loved working with Jessica. Before working with Jessica the word style totally freaked me out. The clothes I had were fine and could get by with them but I had a desire to take my style to the next level. Jessica helped me understand what colors and textures would best help me tell the story I wanted to tell. Jessica challenged me to discover all the different styles and characters that I could play with.
The work we did together got quite deep. There was a lot of homework involved but the homework helped me navigate to precisely what I desired. Many times I felt uncomfortable while I was learning a whole new skill set but I came out on the other side with so much clarity. The story I was telling went from general and boring to thrilling and specific! Jessica made helped me celebrate my wonderful uniqueness and always made me feel special.
Now I feel confident. I feel confident putting together an outfit for auditions, events, or just a brunch date. I get excited to show off my new headshots to anyone in the industry because I know they are going to love them as much as I do. Jessica empowered me with so much knowledge that in a 1 hour photo shoot I was able to get all the looks that I will need for a very long time. This is the greatest investment I have ever made for my career. Everyone deserves to know their unique style that will help them shine from the inside out!”
Jennifer Fugo, MS, LDN, CNS, Clinical Nutritionist, Author & CEO of Gluten Free School
"My "style" (or lack there of) was the bane of my professional existence as a clinical nutritionist and speaker. I just never felt comfortable in what I was wearing and had no idea what to buy that looked best on me. When I realized that it was time to update my headshots for my website, I realized that I needed someone to help me create looks that felt and looked like the real me that seemed to be hidden under the surface.
I honestly didn't understand how powerful the process with Jessica would be, but she delved deeper than just "does this top or dress look good on me?" Jess helped me connect with exactly how my soul and being show up strongest and most confident. She developed a color palette for me that is so perfect, anything I've purchased easily goes together and people constantly comment on how radiant I look. Plus, she's helped coach me on how to best wear clothes and accessories so that I always look put together (without much work), tweak my hair cut and color to bring out my eyes, and even helps me find the "perfect" dresses for big professional events that have people raving about my look.
I also want to share that a lot of the work we did wasn't even in person! We were able to do a bunch of it over the phone and even styling looks over Skype (due to my super hectic schedule). I was nervous at first that there was no way we could nail looks not being in person, but I can tell you from how amazing every head-to-toe look she's styled for me, Jessica has the gift to style you working virtually.
Overall, working with Jessica is so much more than just clothes. It was important to me that I felt like myself and totally confident in expressing my own sense of style. She helped me discover and translate exactly what that is so that now I feel a sense of total agreement between my inner and outer selves. It's allowed me to have so much more self confidence no matter whether I'm at a gala, at a business interview, doing an interview, or out for dinner. I've totally left that sense of "look" shame behind and I only have Jessica to thank for that! She's the ace in my pocket who I continually rely on to help me find the looks for all the right occasions."
