Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaida Caviness-Brigman.
Hi Jaida, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My name is Jaida Caviness-Brigman, but most people know me as Juice the Photographer. I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, and my love for photography sparked early, at just eight years old. I still remember getting a DSi for my birthday and using it to take pictures of everything around me. That little camera planted a seed that has only grown stronger with time. After graduating from Stratford High School in Goose Creek, SC, I really started to find my voice and vision as an artist. I later moved to Houston, Texas, and that’s where my work evolved the most. My style began to fuse bold photography with creative direction and storytelling: a combination that brought my images to life in a whole new way. I’ve always had an eye for creating and telling stories, but what drives me the most is connection. My number one goal is simple: to make people feel good in front of the camera. I bring energy, guidance, and a comfortable space so that my clients can show up exactly as they are; confident, relaxed, and unapologetically themselves.
For me, photography isn’t a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a burning passion that I breathe every single day. There’s nothing like witnessing the joy and confidence people feel when they see themselves through my lens. That’s the magic I live for. No matter where life takes me, Charleston, Sc will always have my heart. It’s the city that shaped me, inspired me, and gave me my start. I carry that love with me everywhere I go and whenever Charleston calls, I’ll always come back, camera in hand, ready to give back to the place that made me.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. I struggled with being social and believing in my work, two things that are key in photography. It took time to find my voice and confidence. My biggest supporters, my close friends, family, my boyfriend, and especially my sister, who’s also my publicist, really helped me grow. She was my main coach when it came to professionalism and truly owning my art. Her guidance taught me how to walk in confidence and take my work seriously. Because of that support, I’ve been able to step fully into who I am as a creative.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a traveling photographer who specializes in bold, creative, and story-driven photography. My work captures culture, legacy, and real emotion: moments that feel alive. I’m best known for my vibrant, conceptual shoots that bring both vision and meaning together.
I’m most proud of how far I’ve come, starting with almost nothing and continuing to build with passion and purpose.
What truly sets me apart is my ability to turn a photoshoot into a full experience. I create more than just beautiful images, I create a space where people feel empowered, seen, and celebrated. From the moment we connect, I bring energy, direction, and intention. I focus on making sure my clients feel confident, comfortable, and free to be their most authentic selves. Every session is a collaboration, and every photo is a piece of a story that matters. That emotional connection, that’s what makes my work unforgettable.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I used to call myself an introverted extrovert. I was shy at first, but once you got to know me, my big personality always came out. I’ve always been drawn to anything creative art, music, storytelling, and of course, photography. Even as a kid, I loved expressing myself through visuals and finding new ways to create something that made people feel something.
