A New ME in 2023!!

A Reintroduction to JessRaquel Photography

Wow, time does fly!! With a blink of an eye we are well into 2023 and already looking forward to the end of the year. All I can say is that 2023 has been a wild ride. Although I’ve been out of commission for the majority of summer, it feels like a good time to reintroduce myself now that I’m back in action!

So hey, I’m Jess! Let me tell you a little more about the face behind the lens!

• I’m a born and raised Las Vegas native, just can’t seem to quit this place!

• Happily married to the best guy in the world and I truly could not imagine doing life without him 💘

• Leo Sun, Scorpio Rising, Pisces Moon… Explains everything ♌️♏️♓️

• Many tattoos and still need more

•Before this I used to work in the animal welfare world in shelters and sanctuaries doing behavior and training. Now I foster behavior/medical cases for The Churchill Foundation and continue to apply my expertise and knowledge through photo sessions with your pets!

• So of course I’m a five times over rescue dog mom (can’t forget our two cats either) and its a full house 🐾

• Bohemian meets grunge goth = My Vibes

• I’ve been obsessed with all things British since I was five and discovered John Cleese on PBS 🇬🇧

• I recently underwent a hysterectomy (hence my absence) due to Stage 4 Endometriosis. I’m very open about it and think we should all be talking about this disease more! I can’t have kids (and I’m very much ok with that) but that just means you should let me photograph yours! 😇

• I'm happiest when wearing the color black🤘🏼

• When I’m not editing I’m usually at brunch, vintage thrifting, or hardcore gaming… Fight me in Fortnight 😝

• I just turned 37, I’ve def hit my homebody stage and I’m totally cool with it. My home is my sanctuary but if you do catch me outside it’s usually in the Arts District drinking a Moscow mule or singing my heart out at Dinos 🎤

But enough about me, tell me about you or ask me anything, let’s be friends! 🫶
