About me

My family.


(aka my EVERYTHING)




  

My daughter Mercy Rae
and my husband Matt!

Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a California native finding her happy place in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you catch me driving through town you’ll probably see me singing real loud with the windows down. I love great music and I’m always trying to start spontaneous dance parties in my living room! I love gardening and house plants but I have a hard time keeping things alive…I do not have a green thumb!! When I'm not working you'll find me  trying out new recipes in the kitchen, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, exploring the outdoors, and most of all, snuggling with my sweet baby girl Mercy! Being a mama is the best thing that has every happened to me :). 

One of things I’m most proud of is my growing self-confidence. I spent 27 years torturing myself trying to become a different (let’s be honest - skinnier) version of myself, and the day I decided to love myself at any size was the best day of my life. While I do value joyful movement, getting stronger, and yummy healthy food, I no longer participate in diet culture or the idea that thin=best. I am a joyful plus sized gal and I’ve never been happier. I bring this joy to my work and believe that every single client has so much value and so much beauty for me to capture, no matter what they look like. I'm here to infuse you with that same self love and I promise that by the end of your photo session with me you will feel like a model!!

Human connection
Experience over production
raw emotions
Being yourself
having fun!

My approach to photography is about:

Taking photos
should be fun!
