What People Are Saying

  • I came across Jess through the power of social media. My little boy was about to turn one and there was something about Jess’ photography style that just screamed out to me - I had to book her! I can honestly say we were not disappointed. In complete truth, I was blown away! Jess captured my little family (dog included!) perfectly 🤍 She was a natural with my son, us and the dog - giving clear directions without pushing or making us feel uncomfortable, staged or posed! She drove out to us, braved the mud of the nature trail and spent a lot of time and effort into getting the sweetest photos! We highly recommend Jess and I can’t wait to find another reason to book her again 🤍

  • We had such a wonderful experience on our shoot with Jess! She was incredibly kind, friendly with our toddler, which made the whole session relaxed and fun. She was so easy to get along with and made us feel comfortable right away. Jess is a pleasure to be around and the photos turned out beautiful. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!!

  • Highly, highly recommend Jess! Jess made us feel extremely comfortable (photoshoots aren’t our most natural habitat!). She was incredible with both our newborn and dogs and managed to capture the most gorgeous pictures. If you’re after someone professional, calming, patient and genuinely passionate about getting the best photos of you and your family…Jess is your girl!

  • Jess was absolutely incredible, she made us all feel so comfortable and was so patient with our boisterous toddler! The shots are beautiful and we are so so happy with them- we can’t wait to get some framed and put them up but so many gorgeous ones to choose from it’s going to be difficult to decide! Not only was the outcome better than we ever could’ve asked for, but we had so much fun during the shoot and couldn’t stop laughing. Will definitely be booking in again in the future 😊
