open. honest. heartfelt. candid.

Forever running on too many sleepless nights, a bit of a self-proclaimed hot mess (even though everyone else always thinks I have it ALL together) and a total introverted extrovert who loves my comfy sweats just as much as I love seeing my favorite people.

I love too hard, sometimes swear too much and protect my people fiercely.

I truly believe that something magical happens when we spend time together. To be invited into your space or along to your favorite places- whether it’s for a family session & film or to document your birth- creates a realness that can’t be found elsewhere. And when you get your photos & film back... we’ll cry happy tears... together!

I cannot wait to document this life with you!!

hey friend!

I’m Jess. Wife. Momma to a bunch of kids & a couple of dogs. Advocate. Ally. And your biggest cheerleader— in birth and life.

The feeling I want to leave you with…

YOU KNOW THAT FEELING WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE AND IT INSTANTLY FEELS LIKE YOU’VE BEEN FRIENDS FOREVER? I HOPE THAT’S WHAT OUR SESSION FEELS LIKE. EASY, REAL— JUST YOU & YOUR INCREDIBLE FAMILY MAKING MEMORIES TOGETHER.

I WANT YOU TO SEE YOURSELF THE WAY THAT I SEE YOU... AS THE POWERFUL MOMMA THAT ROARED YOUR BABIES INTO THIS WORLD. AS THE PERSON WHOSE HAND THEY REACHED FOR FIRST. AS THE PARENT THAT SCOOPS THEM UP AND HOLDS THEM CLOSE WHEN THEY JUST NEED TO FEEL YOUR PRESENCE.

BIRTH IS UNPREDICTABLE. TODDLERS ARE PRECARIOUS. LIFE IS MESSY. BUT THROUGH IT ALL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM FIERCELY IN YOUR CORNER. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BIRTH LOOKS LIKE OR HOW YOUR FAMILY CAME TO BE. NO MATTER WHAT STORY YOU ARE WEAVING— I’LL BE HERE.

FOR ALL THE LAUGHTER... ALL THE DANCE PARTIES... AND ALL THE ADVENTURES.
