Fashioning America: Grit to Glamour

FEATURED at New orleans Museum of art

“From the very first conversation, she made us feel seen, understood, and completely at ease. She captured the big emotions, the quiet in-between glances, the laughter, and the pure joy on the dance floor so beautifully and naturally. You’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re gaining someone who pours her heart into your day and gives you memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime. ”

Marina + Daane

“We were looking for someone to capture our big day through an authentic lens, leaving plenty of room for us to have fun with our guests and families. We wanted to avoid the need to disappear for pictures. Once we met with Jess, we knew she would absolutely be able to help facilitate the kind of experience we were looking for, and she was completely on the same page as us regarding capturing a candid and genuine day. When looking through the whole album, we were shocked by just how many beautiful moments they were able to capture without either of us even noticing.”

Connor + Natalie

“Jess was absolutely the BEST! I truly could not have asked for a better photographer (and human!) to be a part of our special day. She understood our vision and captured it perfectly without us doing any work or having to stress about anything. She has such a tasteful style and unique skillset that allows her to capture the emotions of the day perfectly. We are beyond lucky to have worked with Jess and couldn't recommend anyone better!”

Sydney + Chris
