“I understand to the bottom of my soul that fear of stepping in front of someone’s lens and having the worst parts of you validated.”
Jai Mayhew is a portrait & fashion photographer currently residing in St. Louis. Her work has been published internationally, featured in galleries and commissioned by public figures. Growing up in Germany, Jai was first introduced to portraiture in the form of romantic paintings and marble statues. This influence has evolved into the style she’s best known for - romantic, sensual and editorial. Jai is PRO EDU’s newest instructor and is excited for the launch of her ‘Luxe Portraiture’ tutorial in March 2021. When she isn’t in the studio, you can find Jai with her beautiful family, in the gym, or mixing an especially dirty martini.
