let’s ditch the prom poses and fake laughs.

we do real. we’re photographers for real life joy, real life tears. and real belly laughs.

we’re gonna pep talk you through your day, celebrating your love, and making you feel like a million bucks.

we are for the couples who want their day to reflect them honestly, and can’t wait to be surrounded by their people.

we’re for the celebrators at heart, who believe in not taking life too seriously.

this is for you.

hey, i’m jess.

west-coast based wedding and lifestyle family photographer.

my husband, Jon, and I shoot weddings together, which is a dream come true.

we are travel-lovers, sun-seekers, story-tellers, can always get down on a good dance party, and live to make each other laugh.

love is where this all started. and love is what guides us as photographers.

finally finally finally got to wrap up these edits on this fireeee couple. they melt me and I can’t wait to blog it! this session and lots more going up on the new website launching in ONE WEEK! 😍

we took a lotttt of beautiful, show stopping images yesterday but here I am sharing one of sweet L’s little quiver he gave us every time mom set him down because it just melts me. & those rolls tho!! 😍😍😍

finally taking a moment to rest since the day we got back! this weekend was packed with all the best things though - shoot with a momma commemorating the ending of nursing her firstborn son with a momma and baby nursing session, a shoot yesterday with some old acquaintances who just recently adopted a darling Chinese girl and hearing snippets of their story as they’ve started adjusting to a new journey as a family of four, celebrating friends’ birthdays, reflecting on Holy Week... its a good kind of exhausted, but I am 100% sleeping in tomorrow 🌟

even though we’re crazy jet lagged, it feels so good to be HOME! jumping back into the swing of things, ready or not 🙈

feels about getting to squeeze my kitties in less than 24 hrs 😍 📸 by @jonathanwood.co

when people say they don’t need the reception dance floor photographed, I die a little inside. (then I talk them into it) #bestpart

japan has been a breath of fresh air and such a gift for us both. it’s so bittersweet having our roots spread across two continents - for one, spending time in a foreign country while getting to be with loved ones is of course amazing, but with it comes the cost of being pretty much on our own for the other 50 weeks out of the year. even so, I feel so so blessed with this inherited second family of mine! 🌟

a fav from our styled winter shoot earlier this year 😍
