“Thanks to Jess, we now have the most beautiful memories to look back on forever.”
Traveling worldwide
"She truly captured the feel of the night — every candid moment, every laugh, and all the love in the air."
Elopement photographer in New mexico
While Texas is home, you’ll often find me out West chasing stories–capturing love in its raw, nostalgic beauty through timeless photos and vintage Super 8 video.
As a wife and mom, I understand the importance of preserving real, meaningful moments. My work blends creative storytelling with a documentary-style approach–always focused on how your day felt, not just how it looked.
When i'm not behind the camera...
I’m likely tending to my microhomestead, hiking with my husband and kids, or watching a good true crime doc in bed. I live for the contrast–embracing adventure, and savoring cozy downtime in between.
