ARTFUL & DOCUMENTARY
Jess's unique perspective, shaped by her observational nature and upbringing steeped in horsemanship and art, has a profound impact on her photography. Her approach to capturing images is distinctly influenced by her background and experiences, allowing her to convey a depth of emotion and storytelling in her work that sets her apart. As an observer of environments, she brings a sensitive and introspective eye to her photography, uncovering the often overlooked narratives and subtle details within gatherings and locations. This results in images that are not only visually striking but also resonate with a soulful authenticity that comes from her personal connection to her subjects.

Hannah & Ashten
She is an expert in the field of photography and whatever stress I had at the start of the day went away completely. This was my husband and my first shoot together and we didn't know quite know what to expect, but instead of feeling awkward, we felt so incredibly comfortable being ourselves around Jess and letting her do her job. She guided us without being commanding and taking away our authenticity, which were captured beautifully in the pictures. When I got our pictures back I instantly started crying; they were beyond what I ever could have imagined. Who knew you could have so much variety with just pictures of you and your significant other. There were moments of tears, laughter, silence, and so much joyful energy and you can see each emotion in the pictures; and each one tells a different story. They took me right back to that day and I knew I had made the best decision choosing Jess as our photographer.

... the memories she captured instantly became one of the most treasured things in my life. I finally had the chance to look through EVERY single perfect and imperfect photo and feel comfortable saying that if our home caught fire, it would be one of the only things I would need to save. Yes, our portraits against a mountainous backdrop are epic and artistically stunning.. but the raw, emotional moments she captured.. the tears rolling down my mother's face, my grandmother's delicate and aged hands, my MIL's emotions during her last moment of solitude with her son, my hands locked with my best friend's during prayer, and our family praying, worshipping, laughing and crying are my most beloved memories of all. I know that we will look back on these photos 50 years down the road and that there will be tears in our eyes looking back at the beautiful faces of our loved ones that might not be on earth with us any longer and remembering the day that started the rest of our lives together.
if our home caught fire, it would be one of the only things I would need to save.
