Howdy!

I'm Jess, a born-and-raised New Englander with 10 years of experience behind a camera, a lifetime of exploring the stunning places our home offers, and the belief that putting people first (even above wedding timelines, the "perfect" shot, or forcing a crying kiddo to take a picture), means truly GOOD art will always follow.

If you're searching for compassion-filled, laid-back family or couples sessions that create artful representations of your loved ones as they are, let's chat. <3

DAYDREAM SESSIONS

These limited time styled sessions are first come, first served, and are spread throughout New England. For a few weeks, I’m offering these sessions at $400 instead of my typical rate at $500 an hour.

Each session will take one hour, however you can choose to add an additional hour at my normal rate. Each session includes a special, surprise gift! <3 Check out the couples and family lists below ...
