Charlottesville Family, Newborn & Maternity Photographer
Photographs that feel like home.
The beautifully ordinary moments are the ones that become extraordinary with time. The way your baby settles into your arms. The way your children reach for one another. The laughter, movement and little expressions that make your family yours.
I photograph families, newborns and motherhood with a relaxed, natural approach, creating images that feel like you.
Based in Charlottesville, Virginia and available for sessions in Maine and beyond.
The seasons worth remembering.
Thoughtfully photographed, beautifully preserved.
FAMILIES
Connection, movement and the beautiful rhythm of your family as you are now.
MATERNITY
An honest, beautiful record of the seasons of motherhood that change far too quickly.
NEWBORNS
Quiet, intimate photographs of the earliest days together, created in the comfort of home.
Families, beautifully remembered.
You don't need perfectly behaved children or a perfectly styled life to create beautiful photographs. My sessions are gently guided but never overly posed, leaving room for movement, personality and the moments that happen naturally between you.
The result is a gallery that looks beautiful, but more importantly, feels like your family.
Behind the camera
I'm Jess, a photographer and mother who believes the photographs we treasure most aren't about perfection. They're about the people we love.
My approach is relaxed, warm and intentionally uncomplicated. As a mother of three, I know how quickly the little things change, and how much those ordinary moments come to mean.
I'll guide you when you need it, give your children room to be themselves, and photograph your family in a way that feels natural and true to you.
KIND WORDS
Jess was such an amazing experience from start to finish! She was easy to communicate with, helped guide me through outfit selections, was great at making my kids smile their TRUE smiles during the entire photo shoot, and best of all- my pics are perfection. I will continue to use Jess for all the years to come!

Let's remember this season.
Your family doesn't need to wait for the perfect moment. The season you're in right now is already worth remembering.
