Portland Family Photographer

Hey, I’m Jess! I capture candid and timeless moments for the families and couples I work with – creating a simple and stress-free photography experience is what I do best. 

How this works

01. Say Hello

Send me a message through my contact form to get the ball rolling! We will chat about your ideal session and I’ll give you all of the details you need to know before I send over a booking proposal.

02. Planning

Let’s take the stress of ‘What should we wear?’ off of your plate first. I take the time to have a personal styling consultation with each and every client about 2 weeks before our shoot. Your closet is likely full of great options already and together we will decide which pieces will look best for your session.

03. Our Photoshoot

The day is finally here! Becuase we’ve already had a chance to get to know each other, meeting up for our session is 100% stress free. Everyone will know what to expect and the whole family can just relax. I create an experience for your family that is actually fun and will bring everyone closer together.

04. Ordering Appointment

This is the best part! About a week after our shoot we will meet in person to view the images from your session. Simply choose the images you love the most and we’ll decide what to do with them! Create a custom album, design a gallery wall, or curate a selection of fine art prints.

05. Delivery

When your artwork is finished I will hand deliver everything to your home. If you’ve selected wall art, each piece will be professionally installed – free of charge. Now you get to enjoy your family’s beautifully printed keepsakes each and everyday.
