Im Jess. I have 3 rambunctious boys, I love the Pacific Northwest with my whole heart, and I want to get to know YOU and bring your vision to life. First and foremost, I firmly believe ALL love should be celebrated with my whole heart. LGBTQ+ i’m here for it with bells on. Christian, Atheist, Pagan? I’ve got you. Something I need you to know is that I will do whatever is in my power to ensure your day goes down how you envision. And my clients will never just be clients. We are old friends, the cousins you spent all your time with growing up, i’m the girl in the unfiltered group chat you can tell anything without judgement. Your wins are my wins, and your happiness is my top priority, period. let’s get down to the things you need to know about what I do, and what I provide for my clients, not just who I am in my personal life.

I’m a clean edit, editorial storytelling photographer. What does this mean? I have spent years honing my photography skills to capture the cleanest, sharpest images with mostly true to life color. What is an editorial storytelling photographer? A blending of fashion-magazine aesthetics with authentic love to create intentional, artistic images. Emphasizing movement, light, shadow, and thoughtful composition for a curated, cinematic feel, the goal is to mix careful posing with genuine emotion and interactions for an elevated final gallery. I want to tell your story by prompting compelling posing and carefully planned interactions that result in images that can stand on their own. I want every photo you share with your people to have its own wow-factor, and to show you in the most flattering light. This doesn’t mean I don’t focus on the details. I absolutely adore finding the smaller aspects of you and creatively rounding out your gallery. But I strive for those images to be able to stand alone as well.

I selectively choose black and white edits for special moments — a touch, expression, or movement — that can be elevated by the simplicity of monochrome. Often these edits are singled out, and occasionally a duplicate of their color counterpart, because sometimes they are equally beautiful. I don’t follow photography trends. I am not light and airy (overexposed). I don’t add a green, blue, orange or yellow tint to your images. And I wont be turning everything brown. I strive for bold color accuracy with contrast and creamy neutrals. You should not anticipate a gallery full of crooked horizons, blurry, out of focus images, or unintentional motion blur. I choose moments when these techniques should be applied, and use them sparingly. Trends are constantly evolving and aging. These photos are the lasting memories you hand down for generations. Those memories deserve clarity and quality.

I love adventuring with eloping couples. It fills my cup. I specialize in Snoqualmie, Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park area elopements, micro-weddings, proposals and engagement sessions. I am all over Washington to mid-Oregon primarily but always open to travel. And my hobbies are basically editing, creative shoots, and capturing couples in beautiful places. Basically all photography all the time. Hey, love what you do and all that right?

Understand who I am, my photographic style, and how I shoot, edit and interact with my clients.

What can you expect from our communications?

I will   never  pressure you to pick me, to raise your budget, or upsell you on a package. I will present you with your available options and allow you to make the best choice for you. When inquiring, I will send a link to schedule a Discovery Call or Facetime. If you prefer we can communicate via email, but I do encourage a call to get a feel for how I interact and if you can envision me being the person with you on your day. You won’t be added to an email list, and if you decide to move forward with another option, I promise it will be ok. My only goal is to make people happy. If i’m not your person, I just want you to find them and I hope they make all of your photography dreams come true!     People > Business always.
