well hi there!!
My I'm Jess! I am so excited you are here and found my little corner of the internet! I'm based in Illinois, yay midwest living. I live off coffee and water, usually double fisting both. I can quote Friends and The Office without hesitating. I do not take life to seriously and LOVE to have a good time and just laugh. I lost my shame years ago and being a mom to 2 toddlers who loves to dance anywhere and everywhere I don't think it will ever come back.
I got into photography by chance. I always loved taking photos and when 2020 hit I needed a hobby that wasn't just working out in our garage gym or working so I went ahead and bought a "fancy" camera and the rest is history. I have never felt so creative as I do with my camera in my hands and getting to be behind the scenes of turning these photos into lasting memories you'll have forever.
If you're ready to laugh at the dumbest jokes and watch me fall over something at least once, lets face it i'm real clumsy, i'm ready to bring the coffee to you! : )
Jess is nothing short of the best! All the photos we received from our shoot truly captured how authentic our love is. Masterfully represented through candid shots, creative engagement, and subtle but beautiful edits.
Her outgoing personality kept the session light, allowing us to feel more comfortable behind the camera. Having not been models before, the environment she created was fun and helped bring out our true selves!
