Pregnancy announcement

My husband and I hired Jess to capture our pregnancy announcement and absolutely LOVE how our photos came out! This shoot was so important to us, since this is our first baby, and having seen and been familiar with Jess’s work, she was my first and only choice I wanted when seeking a photographer. We love Jess’s totally organic, candid lifestyle work and after having already done engagement and wedding shoots with other photographers in the past, it was important for us to find a photographer who wasn’t going to force anything too posed or stiff. We would recommend Jess to anyone seeking the same fun, natural experience!

Wedding Photos of Our DREAMS!

I 1000% recommend Jess for any special event or small moment you want to look back on the pictures and feel the authenticity in that moment. She shot our out of town wedding in October and when we got our sneak peeks back within a week (so fast) it was like we were reliving those moments all over again. She even captured moments we didn't remember because of how fast the day went.
From the second we booked her we were impressed with how organized and prompt she was to responding. We love her style/creativity, so we didn't come in with a long list of shots we wanted her to take. The only list was the formal family portraits. It went to show we were right in trusting that she can see the magic happening and capture it perfectly.

Invest in your photos/photographer, because it's what you look at for a lifetime!!

Impeccable! Exquisite! Sublime! Absolute Perfection!

If I had just one word to sum up our experience with Jessica it would be perfection - a state of being complete with nothing requisite desired. We booked Jessica to do family/newborn photos and she did not disappoint. Jessica came to our house shortly after our daughters birth. We elected for at home photos being it was winter time in the frozen tundra of Minne-snow-ta. Jessica was able to miraculously find natural light for exquisite photos in our rather poorly light home, canvassing our home into a studio with just the use of a few pillows, blankets, and a basket. I could rave chapters about Jessica's work product and character, but for those reading this review I'm going to break it down into categories:

1. Quality - Jessica either possesses magic or a well-trained eye. The geographical location of our home, its windows, and the hoard of oak trees and an over-sized cottonwood tree make natural light almost non-existent. But somehow Jessica managed to pull a rabbit out of her bag of tricks and situated us in the best possible light in our home producing Pinterest-worthy (or wedding wire worthy) photos. With 2 pillows, a basket, and a few blankets she captured our little peanut perfectly - all snug as a bug in a... basket (see photos for reference).

2. Character - Not only did Jessica trek across the frozen tundra to our home to take photos, but she also masterfully managed to maintain the attention of our rather rambunctious 2-year old. He was smitten with her to say the least and has since for the past several months demanded, "let's take a picture" (lookout photographers - future competition). Jessica brought an energy and ease to the session that made us 'feel at home' (both literally and emotionally).

3. Price - You can't beat her prices for the quality of the product you'll receive and the fantastic session you'll experience. Jessica makes you feel both comfortable and energized.

4. Time - This was no Alice in Wonderland scenario (for those curious and confused, I'm referencing the white rabbit - "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late"). Jessica was on time, flexible with our schedules (juggling the arrival of our baby girl, family visiting, and holiday plans), responsive to emails, and returned our photos with lightening speed.

To anyone looking for that special photographer - one that is easy to work with, has a creative mind, and genuinely loves what they do - look no further. I cannot recommend Jessica with higher enthusiasm.

Jess is extremely creative, professional & fun!

We hired Jess for a shoot very last minute, but even through a few obstacles she knocked it out of the park! She went the extra mile to scout multiple unique locations for us and was incredibly flexible when we had to push our shoot back a day. She got our photos edited and back to us very quickly and we are thrilled with the result!!

Talented and so comfortable to be around!

We hir ed Jessica for our salon photo shoot to showcase our work & get some imaging for our branding. Jess was VERY professional and helped bring my vision to life with always being so supportive & detailed on every aspect of the day! I loved her work so much that I also hired Jessica for my Maternity & family session! My daughter is 3 and Jessica helped keep the day smooth and was so very patient and helpful throughout our photo shoot! She even came so prepared that she shared a pair of hand warmers for my family while we warmed up because it was very chilly that morning! If that doesn’t express the kind of person she is, I don’t know how else to put it! Can hardly wait for our next sessions to come!

Jessica provides amazing service with beautiful pictures. I love her aesthetic and the price was very reasonable compared to others! She’s amazing

Jessica provides amazing pictures to our family. Her aesthetic is what I was looking for and works with lighting in a beautiful way. The photos weren’t cheesy and didn’t look forced. She captured our baby in such a special way, we will always cherish these photos!

Loved working with Jessica!

My fiancé and I braved the cold for our engagement shoot and Jessica was brilliant at capturing our shots, all while keeping us warm with laughs and dancing. We love how our photos turned out...they were so beautiful and really captured us as a couple. With the cold, Jessica was game to shoot inside a vintage hotel (where it was a bit warmer) and those photos were some of my favorites. Jessica is a joy to work with and coordinating the shoot was a breeze. Thank you!!

Wonderful and no stress!

Jessica was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive for setting up a time, planning, and answering questions. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and spent a lot of time finding nice light/scenery. She was so easy and fun to work with prior/during/ and after the shoot. She was also very timely with getting our pictures back to us.

Our pictures are beautiful and catch us in natural poses/expressions. We highly recommend Jessica for a professional, no stress, easy and fun photo shoot!

Pictures with Jessi

Jessi is so great to work with! Before family photo shoots I have been nervous about not knowing how to pose everyone or how to get my children to act appropriately. She always makes it very laid back and playful and is happy to guide us. We are always blown away with how many fun candids she captures. It’s been especially fun when she suggests picture combinations that we weren’t expecting. We’ve done photo shoots with Jessi 7 times over several years and hope to do more in the future! I have recommended Jessi to friends and will continue to because of the high quality of her work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
