Documenting life's big moments with authenticity

Every story deserves to be told.

A photograph…

Has the ability to illustrate moments that matter. My hope is to capture the emotion & charm in those intimate moments, however big or small. I want magic to resurface by producing natural, effortless images telling your story.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jess, a photographer based in Washington DC, but available worldwide. I love capturing raw beauty by using documentary-style photography during all of my photography sessions. We all have a unique story and it’s my intention to document yours with authenticity.

I offer four different types of shoots

Hey, I’m Jess!

A Lifestyle Photographer based in Washington, DC. You can find me enjoying the outdoors, watching scary movies, working out, playing guitar, eating yummy food, or planning my next trip.

Photography started out as a creative outlet that I never would have imagined developing into a career.

Interesting fact: I am a member of the Army National Guard and have deployed to Iraq. It has not been an easy route, but a rewarding one. I love wearing multiple hats and the military has provided me with that opportunity.

It brings me so much energy and joy to capture big moments in your lives. Meeting new people is what I love most about what I do, so don’t be shy. Let’s chat about your vision!
