About Me

Taking your photos means more to me than just posing, pointing and shooting.



I have battled with chronic illness for 10 years now. Photography has given me a way to take back my sense of self and work at the pace that I need to work at while doing something that I truly love. In 2020 I was hit with a second chronic illness and hiking and learning photography kept me going. Through tears and frustration, I was saved by my absolute love for doing this.


In 2022 I decided that I wanted to take the next step and photograph portraits for people and not just work on landscapes. Using my knowledge of beautiful local locations, I started doing portrait photography.

Throughout the last few years I have fallen in love with using our environment and mixing it in with a bit of fantasy, magic and ethereal vibes.

Photography has empowered me to dream, create and step out of my comfort zone. I want my work to inspire you to do so as well.


We far too often don’t think we can, or should do certain things.


It doesn't matter your age, your size, your gender.


Should you have a whole photoshoot planned around you looking like a fairy? A princess? A powerful queen? You absolutely CAN and you absolutely SHOULD.


Do you want to dress up and just feel beautiful? You CAN and absolutely SHOULD.

"Jessica was professional, worked with our hectic schedule. The photos look fantastic. She has now done senior pics for two of my kids. It was hard to choose just one picture for the yearbook. Will definitely use her services again. You can't go wrong with her." -Yelp Review
