Simply put, Jessica is the best. My husband and I hired her to take newborn photos of our son. My daughter had also had in-hospital newborn photos, and I now so regret not having found Jessica earlier in life! She is extremely conscientious, dedicated to her craft, and patient. She is committed to getting the shot and worked very closely with us throughout the process, including a pre-session and post-session meeting. She is artistic and kindhearted. We are so in love with our photos and we will definitely be looking to hire again for future photography needs with regards to our children

Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing Jess is. I had a baby during Covid, and she was beyond respectful and careful to make sure we were all safe. She went above and beyond to make sure that my baby girl was taken care of, and to make sure that my husband and I were both comfortable. Jess knows whats shes doing every step of the way and I was soooo glad she was available for newborn photos. When she showed us the final photos, I was blown away. She knew exactly what I wanted and delivered that plus more. I am beyond grateful for her and her ability to capture the most perfect photos

Jessica is amazing! She spent so much time with us going over the process and when it came time for the photos she spends the entire day with you and was amazing with my grandson. She is a baby whisperer. She got every pose we wanted and ones we didn't realize we wanted. She is patient and gentle and amazing! Our pictures turned out amazing and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
