Las Vegas based Photographer specializing in vintage alternative lifestyle photography

Meet Jess

I'm Jessica and I'm a born and raised Las Vegas native. Ever since I can remember, I've always loved taking and sharing photos. In high school you couldn’t even see the walls of my room as they were covered top to bottom by photos of friends and family! There's something magical about a photograph and the way it can tell a story or pull back a memory years after it's occurred. I'm a completely self taught photographer and I've been working at my craft since 2011. My photographs are all about warm natural light, genuine love, and vintage moody emotion.

I am currently located in the greater Las Vegas area but I'm always ready to pack my camera gear and adventure to wherever your special moments unfold!

Every shoot is an adventure and is always uniquely different. It’s my goal to make sure each session is as relaxed, easy, stress-free, and most importantly FUN as possible while capturing wonderfully raw and candid emotions! 

I promise to strive to make your photo session a memorable experience. I am a LGTBQ+ friendly company and Animal companions are ALWAYS welcome to any shoot!
— Jess

A Few Things About Me…

First off.... I love dogs. I love all animals truly but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’ve spent many years working in animal shelters/sanctuaries and continue to foster Behavior/Medical cases for rescues. I’ve also trained service dogs for Diabetic Alert Dogs of America and dog training services to the Las Vegas community. I'm all about animal welfare and love helping rescues in need of adoptable photos - check out my Giving Back page! 

I'm a woman who is grounded by nature and follows moon cycles, You could say I’m a bit Witchy. I love my emo/Hardcore/Yacht Rock music (But Prince will forever hold my heart) and my favorite colors are purple & Black! I'm a coffee fiend, tattoo addict, and if you want to talk about ANYTHING British... I'm your girl.

Last But Not Least…

I absolutely am in love with love. Love of friends, love of family, lovers and soulmates. There are so many kinds of love and it’s amazing to capture every second of it. Yes, that means I am 100% LGBTQ+ Friendly as well!

As for myself, my husband Garrett and I met in 2014 but didn’t date until many years later - man, timing is everything! After a message about a Facebook Memory and a Dino’s Karaoke reunion at the beginning of 2019, we have been attached at the hip ever since! We just got married October 2021! He loves dogs and photography as much as I do so we are a perfect match! Besides being my other half, Garrett is the videography brains of this operation and you’ll often see him lugging my camera bag on our shoots, grabbing Behind the Scenes footage, or perhaps capturing content for your next reel!
