Howdy, I'm Jess!


I’m so glad you’re here!

If you’re wondering who the short little gal hauling around a camera nearly as big as she is might be—that’s me! Usually wearing a cheesy grin, always chasing a good moment, and much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it.

I’m originally from Monterey, California, where I had the best of both worlds. My backyard was the “Salad Bowl of the World,” with endless rows of produce and cattle grazing across rolling hills. Out front was the Pacific Coast, filled with sand artists, boogie boarders, and a whole lot of creativity. A little country, a little coast—and plenty of inspiration.

My family runs a cow/calf operation high in the Sequoia Mountains, which means my camera roll is overflowing with Black Angus mama cows and their calves. You’re welcome.

These days, I call Roggen, Colorado, home and get to photograph some pretty incredible people throughout the Midwest. From the big milestones to the quiet, candid moments in between, I love capturing the pieces of your life that feel like you.

Have an idea in mind? I’m all ears. I’m always up for something new, happy to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and ready to be your biggest hype woman.

Let’s make some memories—and a few photos you’ll love.
