In the soft morning light, a new chapter begins for a family embracing the beauty of change. As a photographer, I had the privilege of capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments between a newborn baby girl and her adoring big brother. It’s a story of tender touches, giggles, and the silent promise of lifelong friendships. This session was a reminder of life’s simplest yet profound joys—family, love, and the sweet chaos of adding a new member to the clan. Join me in celebrating these fleeting moments, crafted into memories that withstand the test of time. Want to capture your family’s unique story? Let’s connect and create magic together.

Recently, I had the opportunity to do something a little different in my studio. I photographed my brother for his acting headshots, against a simple, yet powerful black backdrop. Choosing black was no accident—it’s timeless and focuses all attention on the person in front of the lens, capturing depth, emotion, and character. It was a […]

I'm Jessica, and if you've made it this far, wow – I'm truly honored. Look, I know picking a photographer can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but here's the thing: it's more about finding someone whose vibe matches yours. Someone who gets you. And that's exactly what I aim to be.
Think of me not just as a photographer, but as a friend with a camera. A friend who's super excited to celebrate all your big (and small!) moments, from the I-dos to the just-because days. We'll laugh, maybe share a tear or two, and capture some beautiful memories along the way.
My camera? It's just a tool to bring out what's already there – your unique story, your spark. And don’t worry about the poses; I’m all about keeping it real and relaxed. Whether we’re chasing the sunset or catching that perfect family laugh, it’s all about having a good time.
If this sounds like what you are looking for, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! Send me a note, and let’s make some magic happen.
