Plan & Session
make it official
Please reach out through my contact form with all the details. Once I receive your inquiry, we will discuss the session you’d like to book! This is a great opportunity for me to learn about your vision, learn more about you, and answer any questions you might have!
After our call, I will email over the contract, retainer invoice and questionnaire to get to know you and anyone else attending.
If everything looks good, you’ll sign the contract and pay your non-refundable retainer to secure your date!
Once you’ve secured your date, we’ll start planning your dream session together. Based on your booking, I’ll provide helpful guides to ensure you feel fully prepared. When your session day arrives, get ready to relax, have fun, and create unforgettable memories!

"I had a splendid time with Jessica for my maternity shoot. She was very patient with me as I was a giggly mess and needed direction. The photos she captured made me feel so beautiful. She worked magic with the lighting it was night time when the photos were taken but you can't tell, everything was so vibrant. I have recommended Jessica Thigpen Photography to many friends and family to all have been very pleased."
"EVERYTHING WAS SO VIBRANT"
- Cierra
"Jessica was so much fun to work with, she really took her time to get the best shot and made my husband (who can be pretty awkward around the camera) very comfortable! Our maternity half baked photo shoot was such a blast and the photos are just gorgeous!! Highly recommend!!"
"SUCH A BLAST!"
How long does editing take?
Engagement and lifestyle sessions are delivered within 3-4 weeks. For weddings, I will send you a handful of sneak peek shots within a week after your wedding. approximately 8-12 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online photo gallery and/or wedding video to relive your special day.
Do you shoot on film?
Yes! I shoot both 35mm film photos and Super 8mm film video—I love the timeless, nostalgic feel film adds to a story. Film photography is included in my 1.5-hour session package and can be added to a one-hour session. Super 8mm video is available as an add-on for sessions lasting an hour or more. For weddings, I offer both film photography and Super 8mm video to capture your day in a beautifully timeless way!
How do we book you?
I’d love to connect with you! Please fill out the inquiry form on my contact page, and once we’re in touch, we can hop on a phone or video call so I can get to know you and your vision. You'll also receive access to my full wedding galleries and other essential details. To officially secure your date, a 30% retainer and signed contract are required. For couples and lifestyle sessions, a video call isn’t necessary, and a 50% retainer secures your session date!
Am I able to print and share my photos?
Absolutely! Your gallery is connected to a professional print lab, making it super easy to order prints.
But if you would rather download your images and print them elsewhere, that's totally up to you!
How long have you been a wedding photographer?
2 years!
Just because someone’s a photographer doesn’t mean they’re a wedding photographer–big difference! If you’re looking for one, definitely ask about their actual wedding experience. It matters!
I’ve been a photographer for 5 years, but for the past 2, I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer, and I added video in 2024!
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! I love traveling for weddings and elopements! From camping, hiking, and backpacking across Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah to exploring 21 states (and counting), adventure is in my DNA. If you're planning a destination wedding, my passport is ready to go–tell me where we're headed!
Do you have full wedding galleries I can look through?
If you’re not already asking this when chatting with photographers, definitely add it to your list!
I make sure every couple sees at least one full wedding gallery–because it’s so important to get the full picture of my style throughout the entire day.
I'm always chasing new adventures and love telling love stories wherever the road takes me. If you want to book me while I’m traveling to the locations below, you won’t be charged any travel fees for regular sessions and weddings. For elopements, you'll receive 20% off my full-day package rate, and you'll also have the option to book my half-day package at the Texas rate—provided I have availability!
Will I be in one of your favorite cities soon? Let’s make magic happen together! Reach out through my contact form, and let’s start planning!
