it’s about the connection

My purpose as a photographer goes beyond capturing an image. It’s about creating visual folklore of your life. I believe that every couple, every family, every life has a unique story to tell, and so much of that is told in small details within a bigger story. My mission is to preserve these moments with deep intention, blending light, movement and emotion.

When we work together I want you to feel seen, understood and connected with your people. As you explore my Investment Collections know that each collection was created with not just today in mind, but for years down the road when you want to relive the love, laughter and fleeting moments.

I believe your wedding story is so much more than just a day. It’s a living, breathing narrative woven with love, laughter, candid moments that make it uniquely yours.

My approach is intentional and heartfelt, capturing not just how your day looks, but how it feels. With a blend of artistry and authenticity, I document the connections, the deep embraces and the unscripted magic that will become the folklore of your love. Beautifully told for generations to come.

“Jessie was absolutely amazing! She has a real gift for capturing the fun, authentic moments that truly reflect our family’s personality. The entire session felt so natural, and she made us feel completely at ease, which really shows in the final photos. Every shot is filled with genuine smiles and laughter, not posed or forced. We couldn’t be happier with how she managed to capture the real essence of our family in such a beautiful way.
