"Jessica did an amazing job with our family pictures! She did great with the kids and made us all feel comfortable taking pictures. Love how our pictures turned out! Will definitely be having her take more in the future."

WHY FAMILIES?


I’m a mom to two young kids. I understand how precious these moments are! It’s next to impossible for momma’s to get behind the camera. I love to focus on getting the sweet candid moments within the family as well as the traditional portraits.

For families with young children, rest assured, I get it. I understand  the challenges of family photo day. Sometimes the task of getting everyone dressed in coordinating outfits, out the door, and praying for cooperation is enough to just give up. But I want to encourage you. I will be there to help you have the most stress-free photography session possible!

YOUR SESSION


Your family session should tell your family's story! You don't have to be a professional model to get great photos. It's okay if your youngest doesn't want to pose and cooperate. I have young kids of my own and understand that these sessions don't always go as planned. I go with the flow, meet them where they are at, and capture photos in between! Sometimes the photos where the kids are interacting with mom, dad or with their surroundings are the favorites.


I will help you with poses that make you all look great without being too "posey." So just relax and get ready to have some fun with your family!

"We had an incredible experience using Jessica as our photographer. She had great poses, ideas and inspiration for our photos. It was also refreshing and heartwarming to see how well she worked with my special needs children. Her patience was beyond exceptional! We will definitely use her again and recommend her to all of our friends and family!"

"Jessica took family pictures, which with the large family we had not done in over 5 years! They turned out beautifully. We loved how natural Jessica was at letting the family be what they wanted to be for the photos, but she was right there to help with direction when needed."
