Hi, I’m Jessica. I’m a photographer, a mom, and someone who finds magic in the everyday moments we often overlook. Whether it’s the way your child grabs your hand, a quiet glance between partners, or the joyful chaos of family life—I’m here to capture it all with honesty and heart. I left the world of finance to do something that truly lights me up: creating beautiful, lasting images of the people you love most.

About Me

When I'm not behind the camera, I'm a homebody who loves spending quality time with my family. After 18 years on the same Upper East Side block, we traded the city hustle for the quiet charm of Westchester—and I’m endlessly grateful we did. Stepping into a life surrounded by horses and nature has brought us peace, joy, and connection, which I didn’t realize we were missing.
