I’m Jessica, your five-foot firebrand photographer. My hands and heart are full daily, loving Rodrigo (my hubby), raising two sweet #CottageKids and wrangling one dog that looks a little too much like Falcor from The Never-ending Story. (Go on, check out some pics to the right)

For me, there’s nothing like telling your story. I work hard every day to prove my pictures are more than just “pretty.” To tell their truths. I live for catching the easy to miss, intimate moments. The awe in your face when you realize he’s down on one knee. The natural glow in your eyes when you look at your #Feyonce. The tear rolling down your dad’s face when he sees his princess bloom into a queen. The shock on your groom’s face when he catches sight of his bride strutting down that aisle. The pride in your eyes when he’s got that little one on his knee with the family you always wanted.

You’re my inspiration.

Your life, your love, your story.

That also means I catch the stories that are hard and sometimes uncomfortable. The stories that prove love isn’t always easy, but always worth fighting for. Yeah, my pictures will make you feel good. But more than anything, I want them to take you home – to remind you of why you fell in love, got married, had kids or celebrated life in the first place. Those moments are the ones that will last a lifetime.
