Welcome! I go by Jess.


I started this business very part-time, as a single parent to my oldest two kids, taking photos in my living room and trying to figure out how a camera works. Many hours of trial and error later, along with a super cringy Craigslist ad, I landed my first wedding gig in 2014! Recently, I have transitioned into primarily portrait photography with a couple of weddings sprinkled in, as it allows me to expand my creative palette without pressure. I love producing bright, warm, happy, loving photos. The kind that make you feel all warm + fuzzy inside.

I offer outgoing, energetic, comfortable + upbeat photography

My world

My very best friends - Skylar, Zakaree & Charli! I became a mom very young at 20, which is the same year I started this business of mine. Through the years, my kids have watched me pour my heart in soul into creating magic for other families, and I hope one day they are inspired enough to lead something on their own without hesitation. No matter how hard or scary the adventure might be, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Or whatever Michael Scott said.

Welcome to my little business! In my photography, everyone is celebrated. I believe in creating a space where all identities, backgrounds, and stories are seen, valued, and beautifully captured. Whether it’s a love story, a personal milestone, or a moment of self-expression, my lens is open to every body, every culture, every soul. No matter who you are or how you show up in this world, you deserve to be photographed with respect, authenticity, and joy. Let’s create something that truly reflects YOU—unfiltered, unapologetic, and full of life.

Meet Jen


This is my better half in the world of photography and all things business. Jen! She and I met at a random styled shoot in Connecticut back in like.... 2019 maybe (neither of us are from CT lol). At the time, we had no connection, we just were partnered up during the shoot and it wasn’t until a bit later that she needed a second photographer for a wedding she had booked. I responded like it was a dating ad on Craigslist and the rest is history! The truest love story in the making. All fun (and love) aside, Jen and I share the same brain in so many ways. We ebb and flow in sync on wedding days to capture all the things, all the angles and give you all the variety. I trust no one more than I trust her to show up and help me photograph my beautiful clients on their wedding days! So much so, she even photographed my wedding in 2022. We are our dedicated go-to’s so you can count on seeing her there to celebrate you, too. A real packaged deal <3
