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.
“We call Jessie time after time because she just gets us. She makes every session feel easy and comfortable, like spending time with a friend who truly understands our family. Nothing ever feels forced, and somehow she captures the little moments that matter most. I love our images every single time and am always amazed by how accurately they reflect who we are in that season.”

Lifestyle + Homesteads
Drawn to life off the beaten path, this work documents everything from working farms to wild gardens—capturing the rhythm, grit, and quiet beauty of people living close to the land. With a focus on natural light, place, and honest storytelling, the imagery feels lived-in, grounded, and real. Featured in Daily Sourdough by Lisa Bass, Homestead Living Magazine, Homesteading Family Magazine, and the School of Traditional Skills.
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.
Portraits
Portrait sessions centered on presence over posing, with a film-inspired, editorial approach. Shaped by light, environment, and the moments in between, the imagery feels natural, intentional, and quietly expressive—timeless and personal.
