Photography is a remarkable art that allows us to capture a moment in time and preserve it for a lifetime. It is especially meaningful for parents as they watch their little ones grow and change so quickly. As a mother myself, I have experienced the feeling of time slipping away and the urgent need to capture each moment before it passes. That is why I am passionate about photography and the value it holds for families.

Capture the beauty of your family right here, right now.

Let's go beyond the photos.

If you're new to professional photography, don't worry! Feeling nervous or unsure is normal, but that's where I come in. As your photographer, it's my job (literally!) to help you feel comfortable and confident during your session. I'll guide you through the process step by step and give you tips and tricks to help you look your best.
Whether you're looking to capture sweet family moments or create stunning portraits of yourself, I'm here to make it happen. You can even think of your session as a special occasion, like a date night or a family outing, but with the added bonus of having me there to capture all the magic.

Buffalo New York Family Photographer

"The days may seem long, but the years are short,"

As the saying goes, "The days may seem long, but the years are short," and that is particularly true for families with young children. A photography session can help you freeze time and capture the essence of your family at this very moment. Whether you are announcing your pregnancy, celebrating your maternity, or cherishing precious newborn moments, I would be honored to photograph your family and create lasting memories you can cherish for years. So why not take a moment to be intentionally present during this time in your life and capture the beauty of your family right here, right now.

You're getting someone who is committed to personalizing the entire journey for you from beginning to end. I genuinely care about you and will ensure your photo shoot is an experience you'll love and remember forever.

Jessy is the most beautiful soul, and an amazing photographer on top of that.

Jessy was the best with getting our 2 year old to cooperate for the pictures. We've never felt more relaxed for a shoot! We recommend her for any family photos you need taken. She's the sweetest and most talented!

On our wedding day, we were genuinely happy to share it with Jessy. 

The best part about working with Jessy is that you can feel completely relaxed while knowing there’s a camera on you (something that’s usually pretty difficult for us). One of my favorite moments of the day was when we left the craziness of our reception for a little bit to take some couples photos. She really made us appreciate the moment, the day, and each other. Now we have these beautiful photos that capture those moments and memories!

Kim & Gilbert

She pays attention to detail and captured all of our special moments beautifully. 

Jessy is AMAZING! Our wedding photos were everything we wanted and then some! Her small touches and kindness are unbeatable. She made us feel super comfortable and took the time to make sure our entire day was full of laughs, giggles & happy tears. The stress of our big day melted away once Jessy got us going with pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

would you be able to photoshop me? 

Negative. I may not know you yet, but I do know you are beautiful as is, and for that reason, I never do any major body manipulations. However, I will remove blemishes and any distractions that may find their way into an image, like a stop sign in the background. 

where about are you located?

I'm based in Buffalo, NY and serve the Western New York area! If you're located elsewhere, don't hesitate to reach out!

Do we pick the images we receive?

I pride myself on delivering all the usable images. You'll receive every image not out of focus, a test shot, duplicate, or one where I've caught someone blinking.

How will we get our photos?

I deliver your images in a personalized online gallery sent to your email. Your gallery has a built-in print shop to make ordering any prints, canvas, or other products easy peasy. 

When will we get our photos back? 

Family and couples sessions are delivered within three weeks of our session date.

We're ready to book! What's our next step?

YASSSS, I'm so excited to hear that! Start by filling out my contact form, and we'll go from there. Can't wait to hear from you!
