Sentimental at heart, always planning the next trip, and happiest with my family somewhere out west
Hi, i'm Jessica
I’m a wife, a mom of two, and someone who has never been very good at letting a meaningful moment pass without wanting to preserve it. I love slow mornings, family road trips, old home videos, mountain air, and the kind of memories that become more valuable as the years go by.
I’m drawn to the little things people do without realizing it. The familiar way two people reach for each other. The expression on a parent’s face as they watch their child. The laughter, movement, and quiet moments that make a season of life feel unmistakably yours.
That’s also why nostalgia is woven into so much of my work. I love the honesty of documentary photography, the timelessness of film, and the imperfect movement of Super 8. Whether I’m documenting a wedding, an elopement, or your family as it is right now, I want it to feel lived-in and real, not overly posed or polished into something you don’t recognize.
I’ll step in with gentle direction when you need it, then leave room for you to settle in and be yourselves. My hope is that what we create will feel meaningful today and even more so years from now.
About
Back in 2017, my husband and I quietly slipped away to say our vows. We didn’t have a photographer. Just a handful of blurry cellphone photos from that day. They’re sweet, but I can’t help wishing we had more than a few pixelated memories to hold onto.
That experience is a huge part of why I do what I do now. I know firsthand how important it is to have your love story documented–not just the big, polished moments, but the little ones that fade if no one’s there to capture them. It’s why I pour so much of my heart into creating photographs and films that let you relive how it all felt, not just how it looked.
I eloped too!
• I grew up in a tiny Texas town where I first fell in love with photography using a Polaroid camera on my grandparents’ farm.
• Before offically picking up my camera, I actually went to college for EMT and business marketing–two very different paths that somehow both taught me how to stay calm under pressure and think creatively.
• I’m a wife and mom, and my kids are my favorite adventure buddies–whether that’s road-tripping out West, hiking, or tending our little backyard homestead.
• I've fixed my vintage Super 8 cameras myself (I’m low-key techy and stubborn when something breaks).
• I have four dogs, two cats, a whole lot of chickens, and a snake (yes, really).
• I’m a firm believer that coffee tastes better on a chilly morning in the mountains.
