CHARLOTTESVILLE FAMILY 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 EXPERIENCE
The seasons worth remembering.
FAMILIES
Connection, movement and the beautiful rhythm of your family as you are right now.
NEWBORNS
Quiet, intimate photographs of the earliest days together, created in the comfort of home.
MATERNITY & MOTHERHOOD
An honest, beautiful record of the seasons of motherhood that change far too quickly.
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, mother and believer that the photographs we treasure most are rarely about perfection. They're about people.
My approach is relaxed, warm and intentionally uncomplicated. I'll guide you when you need it, give your children room to be themselves, and pay attention to the little interactions you may not even realize are happening.
Someday the tiny hand in yours won't be so tiny. I want you to have photographs that bring you right back here.
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.
