Testimonials
A FEW WORDS FROM MY CLIENTS
Style & Talent
“It was a blessing to find jess. Her pictures are fresh and modern. Her style and talent are every bit worth the price. She loves her craft and it shows. She was great with my baby cake smash photoshoot! I love the vintage outfits she has for babies, in her studio. I recommend her to do any high end looking photoshoot for your children. Jess is awesome.”
Prompt + Patient
“I emailed Jessica inquiring about a 1 year photo shoot for my son. She immediately responded & we were able to set up a time that worked for both of our schedules. We arrived to her at-home studio & were immediately impressed. Her studio was SO inviting yet incredibly professional. Theo (my son) had refused his afternoon nap so I was quite worried how the shoot would turn out but Jessica was so patient and diligent with her photos. She then followed up immediately with the proofs and then 3 weeks later we received the final edits of Theoโs photo shoot. Everything was done in a timely and professional manner. Thank you so much for capturing photos of my son that I will cherish forever. You are wonderful, Jess! Thank you!!”
Great with Kids
“Amazing photographer for kids! She was so patient and knows how to handle your little ones at whatever stage they are in. The quality of the photos are beautiful and she does amazing at setting up props, outfits, headbands etc for your sessions. I would highly recommend her!”
Accommodating
“Jess was SO patient, any time a break was needed for feeding or changing she gave us the time that we needed. She was so prepared & knew exactly how to get our little baby relaxed and ready for the camera. She was ready for any accidents, any surprises, and was well prepared with 3 set ups ofย my color combo choices! She clearly has a gift and a very creative eye for props & outfits, theyโre all so unique & so thought out. She worked with me along the way in choosing the date, she was very flexible as my due date was moved/changed twice. She was very professional in providing paper work & contracts ahead of time, and was so quick to respond to emails and any questions I had about our shoot. I cannot wait to do some family shoots in the future! Thank you Jess!”
Stress Free
“Jess was amazing to work with – flexible and patient as can be! She has an obvious gift when it comes to working with newborn photography; not only a creative eye and passion for photography, but a calming presence that made our newborn shoot so enjoyable and stress free! Love her work and I am so in love with our photos. Look forward to our next shoot!”
Repeat Clients
“Jessโs photos take my breath away! Every single one. She has taken my first sons 3,6,9, and 12 mo pictures, my maternity pictures, and my second sonโs newborn,3, and 6mo pictures. (So far). She is patient and kind and always catches faces that show both of the boys personalities. I canโt say enough about the beautiful photos she takes. Thank you so much to Jess and the time she takes to always get that perfect shot!”
