HiYaaa.
I’m Jess. Wife, Mama, Mimi, BADASS photographer. + Artist.
Welcome to the place where I share both my work and my passion! I am 100% in my element when I'm behind my camera, capturing all the timeless, classic, romantic moments that makes your day stand out. I want you Captured in a way that you could have never seen yourself, those irreplaceable moments where I make magic out of them. Portraits that will last the tale of time. I'm the kind of photographer thats all about romantic love, timeless portraits + classic candid moments for laid-back, kick ass, madly in love couples. With seven years under my belt as a wedding photographer I'll be the first to tell you this goes beyond just snapping a photo- it involves artful storytelling, and it happens to be my specialty.
+ I like to let my work speak for itself!
My Story.
A few things about me.
- I got a full ride scholarship to the Chicago Art Institute. Although I didn’t take it ( YEAH I know) Making art has always been a passion of mine. If I wasn't a full time wedding photographer I for sure would be doing something in the art field. Creating or being creative is just who I am!!
- I'm married to the love of my life! My husband Brent is my biggest supporter, but also the calm to my storm. I truly would still be a lost soul without him in my life. We are beyond a power couple just celebrated 10 years.
- The hubs and I hit our number one goal in 2022 with having our Beautiful house. Now we are onto the next goal to hit.
- I am a mama that loves to spoil her kids. I wish I felt bad about that, but I absolutely do not and I never will! I had one of the absolute worst childhood imaginable and I strive every day to make sure my kids never experienced an ounce of that. I'm damn proud of how far I've come in life and the life that I provide all my children.
- I could live off Chinese food, seafood +I LOVE me some hot tea!
- Covid almost killed me in the spring of 2021, and ever since then I have a new attitude towards life. It's the kind where I will hit every single goal that I set myself out to accomplish. & I'm fully unapologetic about it.
- I recently found out I'm really great at interior design. It's kind of turned into obsession where my new house looks so damn good, like a house that on Pinterest.
- I have SO many tattoos I can’t even count them anymore. Yes, I have plans to get more. LOT'S MORE.
- I LOVE WEDDINGS! Besides me shooting them all the time planning my oldest daughter's is one of the best memories EVER! Now adding in my middle daughter, planning her wedding for this coming Dec. is everything to me!
- I’m a hype girl. (I could be YOUR hype girl!!) I'm the go getter. The get's shit done girl!
- I'm a music lover, I mean I can get down to Hank the third, Ozzy, Tupac, Garth Brooks, Selena, + Cardi B all in one day and I wouldn't miss a beat.
- I have recently got into vinyl and have started a small collection, which isn't healthy at all lol
- Around 7pm you’ll find me in my room binge watching a documentary, a murder mystery or the next hot thing on Netflix. That's my all time FAVORITE time of the day.
- I LOVE THE SMELL OF SKUNK! super weird, but also SUPER TRUE.
- And hopefully by the end of this year we start plans for our wedding venue.
Anyways, that's me, the girl behind the lens...
