Documenting life's big moments with authenticity

Every story deserves to be told.

A photograph…

Has the ability to illustrate moments that matter. My hope is to capture the emotion & charm in those intimate moments, however big or small. I want magic to resurface by producing natural, effortless images telling your story.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jess, a photographer based in Central Pennsylvania, but available worldwide. I love capturing raw beauty by using documentary-style photography during all of my photography sessions. We all have a unique story and it’s my intention to document yours with authenticity.

I offer four different types of shoots





“Jess has taken family photos along with senior pictures for us and the images are ones we’ll treasure forever. She has an intuitive eye and we especially love that she uses nature and sunlight to showcase the most beautiful moments. It’s really quite magical & charming.”

Hey, I’m Jess!

I am a documentary
lifestyle photographer

My inspiration stems from our imperfections and beauty found in the world around us; Windblown hair, smile lines, big laughs, natural light, warm tones, and movement. I want to observe and document the unique life you are living, creating images that tell your story.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me hiking, singing, getting lost in a good book, trying a new recipe, or planning my next adventure! I love exploring unfamiliar places, always in awe of the endless beauty the world has to offer. Oftentimes, nature has a major influence on my photos. I incorporate the natural world into photoshoots whenever I can.
