Hey, I’m Jess!
I’m a photographer, filmmaker, mother to two girls, and someone who feels deeply connected to the beauty of ordinary life.
For over 10 years, I’ve been documenting couples and families in a way that feels honest — less about perfect posing and more about preserving connection. The way your child reaches for your hand. The chaos before the calm. The movement, the tenderness, the feeling of being fully inside a moment you know won’t last forever.
The older I get, the more I realize these are the things that matter.
Motherhood completely changed the way I photograph people. It taught me how quickly seasons pass and how much emotion lives inside the smallest moments. Because of that, I approach sessions differently than a traditional photographer might. I’m not overly focused on perfection or performance. I care far more about creating space for you to actually be together.
I want your photos to feel like memories instead of poses.
Most of my sessions feel slow, playful, and documentary in nature. I’ll guide when needed, but I’m mostly paying attention to the in-between — the way your kids interact with you, the way your partner looks at you when you aren’t noticing, the energy your family naturally carries when everyone finally lets go a little.
Outside of photography, you can usually find me chasing around my girls, spending time on the coast, drinking americanos with cream, road tripping somewhere new, or dreaming about our next adventure. Before kids, my husband Chris and I spent years traveling through places like Vietnam, Myanmar, Nicaragua, and Cuba — experiences that deeply shaped the way I see people, emotion, and storytelling.
I think that’s a huge part of why connection matters so much to me now.
At the end of the day, I’m not just here to take pretty photos. I’m here to help you remember what this season of life actually felt like while you were living it.
And honestly? That’s the kind of magic I never want to stop documenting.
