- AMY, mother to NOAH

Jess was absolutely amazing. She made the entire process so easy! Her communication was flawless, we had a phone call before we even booked to align vision and style of the photoshoot. She had a client closet of dresses for me to choose from which made this very stress free; after having a baby, the last thing I wanted to do was try and shop for a dress that would work, she had several to choose from and it made such a difference. She sent over style guides and had everything ready at the studio, we literally showed up and she did her thing. Jess is also a baby whisperer and was able to get polite guy comfortable for his glamour shots. I can't say enough good things about Jess, she's an absolute dream to work with and we'll be using her again for future sessions!

"Baby whisperer..She's an absolute dream to work with."

Don't try and wait until your due date, or after your little one has arrived to book your session. Those first few weeks will be overwhelming, exhausting, and filled with joy but the LAST thing you will want to be doing is trying to find a photographer who isn't booked. Don't risk waiting, book with an xperienced and quality photographer who will provide you with images you know you will love.

I suggest reaching out in your second trimester, this allows us to ensure your due date is added to the calandar. As little ones come on their own time, Jess takes a limited number of sessions each month to ensure priority booking for her newbonr clients.
