I want my clients to leave our session feeling empowered and like they just made a friend.

Hi there, I’m Jess!

I've been in your shoes, and I know what it's like to feel a little tense during a photo session. I've had my fair share of experiences in front of the camera, so I understand not knowing what poses you should be doing… or even where to look! But I've found that with the right photographer, you don't have to worry!

In 2017, I bought my first camera and fell in love with making a comfortable environment during photography sessions so people can feel like their most confident, beautiful selves. I get the most satisfaction when people see their photos for the first time and are amazed at how stunning they look. I love showcasing what I see through my lens and giving people the confidence they didn’t know they had!

People often describe their experience working with me as fun, easy, and memorable. Playing music, creating games, and guiding my clients with engaging poses are all things I do to set the atmosphere. I want my clients to leave our session feeling empowered and like they just made a friend.

So let me be your hype woman, professional third wheel, and confidant! I’m here waiting for you to join me on my next adventure! I’ll grab my camera, and you show me your favorite place.

Let’s go shoot!

Meet my cat— Theodore

aka Theo, Mr. T

We rescued him from a shelter and has been with me and my boyfriend, Jacob, ever since! Theo has a big personality and adds a lot of liveliness to our house. He’s very high-energy, always hungry, and wants to play 24/7. We even taught him how to play fetch! Sometimes he leaves his little toy mice in my boots—which is such a cute surprise in the morning.

FAQs

  • There's no need for you to prepare anything for our session. Just bring yourself, and I'll take care of the rest. You don't need to research any poses; that's what I'm here for as the photographer. I take pride in guiding my clients with prompts and creating a fun, comfortable environment. If you need help putting together an outfit, let me know, and I'm happy to give some suggestions.

  • I like to describe my style as candid and authentic. I'm not the photographer that will have you stand there and smile at my camera. Instead, I utilize movement to tell a story and capture those genuine, authentic moments. Clients often come to me for my warm, earthy-style photos. My photos tend to be vivid, dreamy, and natural while also being bright but contrasted. Feel free to check out my Instagram, where you can see more of my current work and style.

  • I accept card, cash, PayPal, and check. I require a deposit to secure your date, and I must receive the final payment before your session.

  • I spend a lot of time obsessing over your photos and making sure they’re perfect! I will deliver the final online album two weeks from the session date. I always provide sneak peeks before then so you can get a feel of the album! For weddings, I have a turnaround period of 6-8 weeks.
