Frequently asked questions.

I got my first camera in 2010 and I shot my first wedding in 2011. In 2015 I received my Bachelors Degree in Commercial Photography from Ohio University's Scripps College of Communication, in the School of Visual Communication . Upon graduation I’ve freelanced for DSW, Splashlight, Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Abercrombie & Fitch. In 2017 I became a full time business owner. Since launching my business I’ve shot over 70 weddings and countless sessions.

Yes! I have no limits, but there may be a travel fee in addition to a package price.

There is no guarantee since every event is different, but each roll of film yields approximately 12 images. For digital photos I average anywhere from 50-100 images an hour.

Once you decide which package you’d like, email me and I will draft up your contract and invoice! I require a retainer for all sessions. Once I have a signature and retainer, your date is officially booked and we can start planning for locations, etc.

“Jess is the type of person that goes completely out of her way to make you feel comfortable so she can capture you in your purest form. For me and my fiance, that meant having Jess drive 7 and a half hours to northern Michigan, the place I feel most like myself, to take our engagement photos - and she did this without any hesitation (in fact she was the one who recommended we have them done there!) To put it simply, Jess is the kind of person that before you know it, you will be referring to her as "my friend Jess" rather than "our photographer Jess" and there really aren't words strong enough to tell you what it means to find that in a photographer. Her photos speak to who she is as a person- authentic, real, and organic. Be warned- she will have you spin and dip and run hand-in-hand but trust me when I say it is ALL worth it! If you're looking for a photographer to capture your relationships most precious moments, this is your girl.”

“Jess is truly one of a kind. She is a terrific photographer and editor. She captures pure emotion, seriously I can't even describe how she does it!! Her style (the perfect harmony of moody + light) and her eye are absolutely flawless. On top of her amazing work, Jess is a funny, truly kind person who immediately made us feel comfortable and let us be ourselves. We enjoyed working with her so so much for our engagement + wedding photos. I will recommend Jess over & over again!”

“If we could rate Jess a million stars, we would. Planning a wedding was extremely stressful however, with Jess the photographs were not something i had to think twice about. She is organized, extremely responsive and her work is drop dead gorgeous. I do not usually like having my picture taken but Jess made the entire process extremely comfortable and fun. She brings a lot of creative ideas to the table and truly has an eye for capturing true emotion in her pictures. Our wedding photos are something that we will cherish forever and we are so happy that we made the decision to go with Jess.”

“We LOVE Jess!!! She did my best friends wedding and i loved her pictures so much i decided to hire her as well. It was the best decision, and purchase I have ever made. Her style is unique and she doesn't put out the same photos that every other wedding photographer does. First we did an engagement shoot with her and I loved every single photo she took. I just received our wedding photos from her and i am just as in love with those. I can be really critical of myself in photos but she captures the best moments, and the ones so full of joy that that is all i see. She is also a pleasure to work with and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I seriously recommend her, she is incredible.”

“Hiring Jess as our wedding photographer was by far the best investment we made for our wedding (coming from two people who didn't think that we needed engagement pictures or to even hire a wedding photographer). We still talk about how much fun we had during our engagement session, and our pictures turned out beautiful. Jess was so kind, easy to work with, and helpful throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, it just felt like having another friend, who just happens to be a wonderful photographer. She captured our love and happiness perfectly.”

“There are so many great things I could say about Jess and her work. First, she really worked hard to make my partner and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She gently guided us through some poses, but also let us be in the moment. In this way I think Jess is able to capture real, true, love. While also ensuring that you look great and feel comfortable. Second, she worked so hard to scope out the best places to take photos at the locations we were at. Considering the light, colors, and even the outfits we chose to wear. Lastly, she is a master at her craft. I seriously mean it. We took photos on a rainy December day, and they are still stunning. I highly recommend hiring Jess if you want your memories preserved by somebody who really, really cares about you and is an excellent artist.”
