I believe the most meaningful photographs aren’t stiff or overly posed — they’re the ones that feel effortless, honest, and deeply personal.
My work is rooted in capturing real connection: the quiet glances, the easy laughter, the moments that feel natural rather than performed. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do — that’s what I’m here for.
My goal is simple: to create images that feel like memories, not just photographs.
hi, I'm Jess

My heart behind the camera is simple: I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and totally yourselves. I’m here to capture the real stuff — the way you make each other laugh, the quiet comfort you share, the moments that don’t feel like “posing” at all because you’re just being together.
Sessions are designed to feel easy, natural, and entirely personal to you. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to preserve this season of life, your experience will be relaxed and thoughtfully guided.
Photography is still very much part of what I do, and I continue to offer a limited number of sessions throughout the year.
