HEY THERE, I’m jess!

 
 
 
 

I’m The human behind the camera, the one with the loud laugh and drive for adventure. Probably with my sassy golden retriever, Luna, in tow!

I live to travel and I have plunked around, moving and exploring, living all over the map. five and a half years ago I moved from seattle to the mountains and now I call Leavenworth, Washington home. I’m hooked! There’s something so peaceful about living amongst the trees, I feel so alive out here and absolutely adore showing my clients and friends around some of my favorite spots!

But let’s rewind a little bit…

I started my photography journey in 2015 but truly discovered my passion for it while living in ethiopia 11 years ago. I tried to soak up the culture and beauty of the people, diving right into my love of portraiture without ever knowing where that path would take me. Always having a camera in my hands, I learned observation and human connection like never before. Low and behold I soon found my calling in documenting people and their stories in love and life.

I live for the gushy love stuff. I drink good (and sometimes really cheap) wine and live to laugh, spending time with my favorite people is my top priority. I love hopping in my camper van, rosé, with absolutely no plan and roaming around, dancing under the stars a bit buzzed and a a lot of feeling free. I have an absolutely absurd obsession with scotland. I love getting to know people and getting to create with those as in love with life as I am.

this is my passion. it’s where I feel the most confident and creative. I crave the intimacy and experience from any session, continuously searching for the art between the way people connect and how they expend love. Those sweet moments that disappear all too quickly. there is nothing like Getting to experience the most intimate of lifes moments with my clients! I’ll tear up right along with you, cheer you on, laugh and dance and make you feel like we’ve been friends for ages! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s play!
