Hi, I’m Jess.

Let me take you back to 9 years old when my dad passed me a film camera on one of our many Midwest summer adventures, the weight of it in my hands, the way the shutter clicked, it was magic.

I’ve been in awe since. I invested in my first digital camera at 16 and also have collected many thrifted 35’s. I enrolled in a collegiate film class and learned how to develop film and the process gave me a deep appreciation for the time and effort that it takes to produce a well-composed image.

My favorite thing to do was (and is) sit for hours and reminisce over a good photo, to relive the memory of it and the beauty that is preservation. The way some tell the story without a word, and others where they feel like a really delicious inside joke.

Now, I am so lucky to be able to give that to my clients and their loved ones and my mission is to treat that insurmountable gift with all the reverence that I can.
