No matter what anything is… it ought to begin by being personal.

In my clients’ own words…

  • Cabeau Comfort Travel Products

    Prepare for THE BEST experience you can possibly have with a professional photographer. My company hired Jessica to create and bring to life a product launch for two new products in the travel industry. Jessica not only took this off my hands but made a beautiful, well thought plan that created the best shots our company has had in 4+ years. I was amazed that leadership, sales, and marketing all admitted these were the best. No small feat! If you need lifestyle shots for your CPG product, Jessica is your woman!

It's meaningful on a myriad of levels… which, I know you understand…and I was telling a friend this morning about the photos - sort of saying out loud for the first time, how strong they are - and I realized that I'm so damn happy and thankful for them. It was great to acknowledge that - and I know you do this all the time, and there's a reason for it - but I deeply appreciate you and your craft, patience, and drive while we worked together. Huge, huge thank you.”

    I had a WONDERFUL shoot with Jessica... and narrowed it down to 89 shots!!! I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this shoot because there were so many that I loved that didn’t make this initial cut but that I think are great pictures of me. Thank you so much!

One of my clients who had not gone out commercially in months,  just had 3 big commercial auditions this week after putting up the new shots he did with you. On top of that, I was able to get him into a particularly stingy office for a Guest Star role (and he only has co-star credits) with one of his new shots! Thank you for supplying me with the tools necessary to get my clients out there! I will be sending lots more your way for sure!"

    I am quite moved by the personality you capture in your work. The images demonstrate that you have a wonderful ability to put subjects at ease and make them comfortable in what for most people is a stressful situation. You're a very talented photographer. It's so clear to see in these images.
