Lincoln, Nebraska Portrait and Wedding Photography

Film? Digital?

I shoot both!

As a family portrait and wedding photographer, I shoot film because I think it's the best. It preserves colors the best. It gives the best skin tones. It renders light as if the light itself were MAGIC. It's high end and timeless. It doesn't bend to editing trends...

I shoot digital because sometimes it's necessary! Some churches, reception halls, and hospitals (births) are DARK! Sometimes a family has adorable kids with lots and lots of energy, and I can't afford to miss a thing! Still have questions? Read this!!

About

Hi, I'm Jess

Photography is magic. So just call me your personal magician, to capture everything from your baby's birth cry, to the moment you and your love say "I Do".

I've had a camera in my hand since the early 90s (ahem, I'm old), and am overjoyed to be entering my 8th year, in the professional world...

KIND WORDS

At one point during the day, we were behind when we began our photo session (my fault!), and we were ahead of schedule when we ended (all Jess)! The most important part of all of this was that we got fantastic photos!

Jessica has become our official family photographer. She has taken all kinds of pictures for us, including family portraits, maternity shots and photos of our newborn and toddler. We not only love the photos she takes, but also appreciate her laid back style.

I first heard about Jess through a friend from work who had birthing photos taken. At first, I thought this was... Interesting. But when I saw how gorgeous the photos were and all of the emotion she captured, I knew I wanted her to take birthing photos for us! Jess has a magical way of capturing once in a lifetime moments.

I’ve worked with Jess three times now, and each time has been awesome. She’s super laid back and relaxed, which makes the whole process really easy. (Even my husband had to agree that it was a painless, even fun, experience.) I’ve always been pleased with how the photos turn out—Jess is VERY talented!

There was no question when I needed a photographer for my wedding who I wanted to it to be - I absolutely love the results, and I LOVED having Jess there with me throughout the day! She kept me calm (even when my sister/bridesmaid got sick and couldn’t make it to the wedding), kept me on track with time, and made my non-English speaking mother-in-law feel right at ease!

Right from the beginning, everything went smoothly. I was hoping for a few good photos, and what I got back were so many phenomenal photos! She caught not only the fleeting, special moments but also expertly shot the more formal photos. My husband makes fun of me, because our apartment is covered in engagement and wedding photos that she took. She is easy to work with, humble, honest, hard working, thorough, and truly just wants to help.
