Documentary photography is about moments and memories. It’s about telling the story of your family authentically. It’s how your kids will fill the gaps when they’re older. It’s how you’ll remember this time when looking back over the many phases of parenthood.

It’s not about perfection, it’s about feeling.

Think about your own favorite childhood photos. Are they in a studio? Or are they photos of moments at home? Can you see evidence of your first room, your front yard, your young parents, your favorite toys? What do you love when it comes to your own childhood photos and how can you give that same gift to your kids? Let me help you create your family archives, something tangible to share for generations.

Testimonials

“Jessie was so professional leading up to the day, giving us plenty of information about what to expect.”

We asked Jessie to take photos of our family, including our 10 month old baby and Fur Baby, and had a wonderful experience. Jessie was so professional leading up to the day, giving us plenty of information about what to expect. The session was so enjoyable and flew by. She made us feel comfortable the entire time, and it felt like we just had a friend joining us for the morning. The results were beautiful. I would highly recommend Jessie, and have in fact already booked her for another event!
