MEET JESSICA
 camera slinger + people-lovin' + spirit on a journey

 Jessica's favorite photography sessions are those that tell a story, whether a bereavement session, a fairy tale set adorned with twinkle lights and home-made props, a soulful portrait that captures the  heritage of 4 generations,  or documenting a lifestyle session of a growing family & their newborn baby, fresh from God.
In fact, it was when their third child was born that Jessica realized her passion for photography &Kevin upgraded her old disposable camera to a DSLR.
Shortly thereafter,she enrolled in photography at The Art Institute to further her understanding.
She has since been blessed to mentor under some of the industries top photographers in fashion, senior and family photography
& her creativity has taken her to create commercial imagery as well.
 Jessica loves using photography as a ministry and has worked alongside The Gold Hope Project, documenting the breathtaking struggles of pediatric cancer patients.
Her favorite part of being a photographer is being the one who unveils a family's newest heirloom - a family portrait, professionally printed & finished.
This is the best way to understand the value of your investment - a finished product, framed professionally,  
with colors so vibrant they appear to jump off of the medium.  
Her favorite space to photograph is among the wildflowers on their little piece of Texas where
she and her husband, Kevin are raising their babes.
Because of the nature of her calling, Jessica takes only a limited number of photography projects each year.
