Get to
know me

My approach is very relaxed and natural. Clients have described my style as "candid" and "true to life," and I'm always striving to capture the real essence of who you are. While I will gently direct you so we have the best light or give you an action to spark emotion, we will never do any cheesy prom poses. (Pinky promise.) I believe the best photos come from natural moments, and I'm more interested in capturing the real you! My style is rooted in authenticity, focusing on capturing your story exactly as it feels in the moment.

Of course, I'll capture all the important group shots and family portraits to be treasured for years to come, but the unplanned, candid moments that happen all on their own is where the real magic is. That's the exceptional, real-life stuff that fills our hearts with joy

My PHOTOGRAPHY APPROACH

-Jessy

Stepping in front of the camera can be an awkward feeling, I get it! Nearly every couple comes to me very excited to work together, but usually with the same hesitation: "We've never had our pictures taken before, we're a little nervous!" I hear this over and over, and I promise you, I will do everything I can to help ease that feeling. Before we even start, we'll take time to chat and get to know each other. During the session, I’ll give you plenty of guidance, but I’ll also encourage you to just relax and be yourselves. I keep the mood light and fun, and will even play your favorite playlist to make things feel more comfortable.

My ultimate goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident and to have a whole lot of fun in the process. So let's make some memories together that you'll treasure forever!

If you're not a fan of being in front of the camera or have never had professional photos taken, this part is for you.

I BELIEVE IN TELLING YOUR STORY THE WAY IT REALLY HAPPENED.

I'm based in Buffalo, NY and serve the Western New York area! Most of my weddings are in Buffalo, Rochester, or the Adirondacks, with a select number of NYC weddings each year. If you're located elsewhere, don't hesitate to reach out!

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.
