FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSIONS
RELAXED SESSIONS, AUTHENTIC MOMENTS & YOUR TRUE FAMILY CONNECTION
not just a photo- a feeling
MY GOAL IS TO CREATE PHOTOS THAT MAKE YOUR HEART MELT INTO THE MEMORY AND BRING YOU BACK TO THAT TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY.
My style of photography is "lifestyle"- generally this is somewhere between traditional portraiture and documentary style. I gently guide you into poses and prompt you to let natural moments happen- Lots of moving, tickling, hugging, touching. For families with young children I may ask who has the smelliest feet or use the occasional potty word to get some natural smiles!
I always try for the "everyone looking" photo, but mix in lots of natural candids using movement, gentle prompts or games.
You are encouraged to bring items that make your family unique- Dad's guitar, the football or teddy bear that your son won't let go, etc. Let's play and have some fun!
These sessions include maternity and couple sessions.

KIND WORDS
"Working with Jessica is an amazing experience, she is an excellent and talented photographer. She is great with children and was able to talk my family through the shoot not only to make them feel comfortable, but also to ensure we receive the best possible photos. Jessica is patient and has a wonderful eye for capturing beautiful and unexpected moments. We are truly blessed to have found a photographer to document our family story. Her photos are some of our most valued possessions that I will treasure forever as a beautiful memory in time. "
-Jessica F.
Jessica has been our family photographer for several years now and I can't imagine anyone else taking our photos. She has the magical ability to keep my young children engaged and is patient in luring their natural smiles out. The most cherished photos that Jessica has taken of my children are those unscripted and organic moments that transpire during a session with her. Jessica's photo-journalistic style has the ability to capture the true love and adoration within our family that occurs naturally during our time with her.
