“As a photographer myself, I am super picky about who takes our family photos- but Jesse did an amazing job! She handled both of our kids and the cat like a pro (which is saying something), and somehow made the whole thing feel easy and fun. The photos turned out beautiful. Natural, real and actually felt like us. I’m so glad I finally got to be in front of the camera and actually love the results. Highly recommend her if you want someone chill & talented!”

Description goes Jess is super sweet and easy to work with. She made my picture-hating fiancé not hate having our pictures taken. The quality of editing on our images was AMAZING. She is also super responsive to messages with questions & answers!

Jessie came to our home to do a newborn session for our little girl. Not only was it convenient for us, but she was truly AMAZING!!! She wasn’t like other photographers who are super strict on what they shoot and how many photos you get! She let us incorporate a special blanket that been handed down through generations, which hasn’t always been my experience so for that I am thankful!! These are genuinely THE BEST photos we have ever had taken. We’ve had so many photos done before from senior to family, and I’ve never found a photographer that I loved and love their work until Jessie!! These photos are absolutely beautiful, and I can’t talk her up enough! I was so nervous about how I would look after having a baby, and these photos helped my confidence so much!!

My goal with each photograph I capture is to bring to life the feelings of that very moment. I want you to feel the joy, the love, the laughter, or even the bittersweet nostalgia each time you look at the image. Photography, for me, is not just about freezing time; it's about letting you relive those emotions and memories as if you were right there again.
Fun fact about me: I've always been a bit on the shy, quiet, and introverted side—maybe even a touch socially awkward, if I'm being honest! However, one of the many reasons I know photography is my true calling is the transformation I experience when I'm with clients or simply capturing images. It genuinely lights me up and fills me with energy! In those moments, my confidence shines through, and my shyness simply fades away. It’s truly the only time I feel free from social anxiety. If you resonate with any of these qualities, I truly understand your experience, and I prioritize this understanding for all my clients. Rest assured, I approach each photoshoot with a calm and gentle demeanor, ensuring that you feel at ease throughout the process. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you can shine, without any pressure or overwhelming vibes.
Our memory can often let us down when we least expect it, but a photo acts like a perfectly organized file cabinet. You simply pull out a file you have carefully stored away, and just like that, you are transported back in time, remembering all the details of that moment. Photos have a magical way of bringing back those cherished moments, allowing us to relive the joy and emotions associated with them once again. These photos just activate the memories we otherwise would have forgotten.
The client experience is important to me. I am here to help you every step of the way! I want you to walk away from this with a beautiful experience & memory. The way my clients feel is my number one priority!
