Meet The Photographer

Hi, I’m Jess—
here for the real, candid moments that tell your story.

I’ve been photographing couples, families, and brands for over 8 years, and I’m all about capturing authentic moments that feel effortless, joyful, and completely true to you. Whether it’s a wedding, a family afternoon, or a couples’ session, I focus on the little in-between moments — the laughter, the glances, the quiet connections — that tell your story naturally. My editing style keeps colors timeless and true-to-life, so your photos always feel classic and real.

I’m pretty laid-back, and that energy carries into every session. I’ll give gentle direction when it’s needed, but my favorite moments are always the unposed ones — the ones that just happen naturally. My goal is to create images that bring you right back to how it all felt — the joy, the calm, the excitement — every time you look at them.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me in my backyard with family and friends (we love fires and cookouts!), walking with my dog Bambi at Onondaga Park, or watching football on a cozy Sunday afternoon with my boyfriend Nick, our two dogs, and our cats. I also love music — Pinegrove, Manchester Orchestra, Arm’s Length, and plenty of 90s/2000s rock.

I’m all about capturing love and connection as it really feels — genuine, candid, and true to you.

Know Me

Capturing candid moments and preserving them forever has always been my passion.

A Few of My
Favorite Things

People gathered outdoors in a backyard, some sitting at tables with yellow and orange checkered tablecloths, others standing and talking near a house with a deck, a pergola with string lights, and potted flowers. The scene appears to be a social gathering or party during the evening.

Backyard Hangs

I love spending time in the backyard with family and friends — we enjoy cookouts, bonfires, and just soaking in the simple moments together. Of course, I always have a film camera nearby to capture the laughter, candid connections, and little memories that make these times so special.

Music is my constant companion—whether I’m listening to Pinegrove, Manchester Orchestra, Arm’s Length, or rocking out to 90s/2000s favorites like Puddle of Mudd and Bush, it always sets the mood, sparks memories, and inspires me in both life and photography.

Slow Sundays

Sundays are all about slow mornings with coffee and fresh donuts, football on the TV, and the comforting aroma of a crockpot meal cooking all day. It’s the perfect way to relax, recharge, and enjoy simple, happy moments before the week begins.

Life’s better with Bambi by my side! From long walks at Onondaga Park to snuggles on the couch, she brings so much joy, laughter, and unconditional love to every day—and, of course, she’s always up for a cameo in a photo or two.

“She captured our love for reach other so perfectly…”

I cannot recommend Jess enough! I’ve known her for years and have had so much pleasure watching her business grow. We had a couples session done with our dogs, and she captured our love for each other so perfectly and truly nailed our vision. She also got our photos back to us so so quickly as she knew we needed them ASAP. We are so looking forward to working with her again in the near future. 12/10 recommend booking with Jess!
