Jai
Getting that perfect shot is my job.
I’VE TRESPASSED, STOPPED TRAFFIC, SHIMMIED UNDER BARBED WIRE, SCARED OFF A RATTLESNAKE,
SCALED THE OUTSIDE OF A FOUR-STORY BUILDING, AND HUNG BY MY ANKLES OFF A BOAT.
My name is Jai Mayhew and I’m a photographer.
I'm a portrait & fashion photographer, a retoucher and an educator—and I’ve spent my career creating beautiful photographs of women. My work is sensual, fashion-inspired, and a little Vanity Fair, with a team that takes care of everything from hair and makeup to styling, posing, and the final edits. Every shoot starts with you, what you love, what you’re drawn to, and how you want to see yourself. From there, we create something together that feels beautiful, polished, and like you on your very best day.
“I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.”
