Hey you! I’m Jess

A passion driven portrait and wedding photographer

What is that exactly? Just a fancy way of saying I put my whole heart into everything I shoot, and your wedding or session will be no different.

But before all that, I’m a wife and a mom to 5, living in a tiny house on lots of land in the Lehigh Valley. I thrive on controlled chaos.

Photography has always been a dream of mine, but starting a family and getting hitched young meant I couldn’t pursue it fully until I was in my mid 20’s.

I’m an all or nothing kind of person, so as cliché as it sounds – the moment that first Nikon landed in my palms, I knew I was in this for the long haul.

I’ve found through the years that my calling isn’t in the gray areas of photography, or in the lukewarm and middle ground. I am truly a person that lives firmly in both the black and white, the yin and yang. I feel comfortable and inspired by all things candid, sacred, and time honored, while also living for the timeless, editorial, and luxurious. I fit no set box and I love it that way! It gives me the freedom to create with no boundaries and give each of my clients an experience that is the best blend of my art and their vision.

This is also indicative of my personality – a balance of blunt honesty and fierce kindness. I will call it as I see it, but always deliver it in a way that protects and respects the heart of the recipient. In business, that means I’m upfront about EVERYTHING.

I don’t like to deal in the normal and accepted cliches of my industry. I think it tends to “dumb down” the experience of being photographed, and I don’t want that for you! I want you to be involved, to visualize the outcome with me, and really invest in what COULD be rather than what’s expected of you.

Like Alice in Wonderland, I tend to live in a world of my own creation.

I fill it with historical fiction novels, true crime documentaries, and music from every era and across all genres. I love knowledge and learning and to discover new ways of looking at the same picture. My world is romantic and whimsical while still holding space for the darker truths and heaviness of life. All this means is that my inspiration wells run deep, and I’m no stranger to big feelings. And it’s because of those big feelings that I’m able to relate and create with so many different types of people.

Variety is the spice of life!
