As Seen In:
Weddings + Elopements
"Jessie is more than just a beautiful photographer—she knows now to pay attention. She really cares about people and capturing the nuances of a celebration. We cannot express how much our wedding photos blew us away (and everyone we know) and how invaluable they are to us. Jessie is one of a kind!" —Blaire M.
Lifestyle + Homesteads
Jessie is always up for an adventure — from slow mornings on working farms to golden hour in wild gardens and long days documenting life off the beaten path. Her work has taken her across the country photographing stories for Homestead Living Magazine, the School of Traditional Skills, and Homesteading Family, as well as the cookbook Daily Sourdough by Lisa Bass of Farmhouse on Boone (published by Homestead Books). Through it all, she captures the rhythm, grit, and quiet beauty of people living close to the land. Rooted in a deep appreciation for place, light, and honest storytelling, she is drawn to documenting what makes a space feel lived-in and real.
Commercial Brands & Events
From boutique brands to broadcast-level productions, Jessie’s commercial photography captures the story behind the product. Her work blends an editorial eye with an authentic, lived-in feel, spanning brand imagery, experiential events, activations, and behind-the-scenes moments. She has photographed live events and talent for NBC brands including TODAY Show, Dateline, and Sunday Sitdown, and has collaborated with wellness and real estate development brands — creating imagery that feels elevated yet unstuffy.
Portrait sessions are less about posing and more about presence. With a film-inspired, editorial approach, Jessie creates imagery that feels natural, intentional, and quietly expressive — portraits shaped by light, environment, and the subtle moments in between. Whether documenting a new chapter or simply pausing to mark where you are right now, the result is work that feels timeless, personal, and deeply considered.
