When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me with my family hiking, exploring, watching movies, eating takeout, and simply hanging out together.
I love capturing family's exciting, beautiful and meaningful moments starting from the very beginning, pregnancy! One thing I often hear from clients during their portrait session is, “this is so different!” That’s because I truly believe the magic of photos is in slowing down, letting your family be themselves as you relax and have fun together.
I can't wait to share how special, easy and enjoyable photo sessions can be. Say hello below! I can't wait to chat!
I'm Jessica :)

I absolutely love hanging out with my family. When I'm not working, I spend my day homeschooling and playing outside with my family! My absolute favorite things in life is being able to share my life with them and experience my kid's world each and every day.

One thing I love to do each day is watch the sunset. Whether I am capturing clients, sitting on our porch talking with my husband, playing frisbee with my kids or getting some alone time while taking a walk, I always make a point to watch the sunset each night.

I am a total foodie! It is actually how my husband won me over, with a perfectly grilled grill cheese. My husband and I love trying new local restaurants, ordering take out as we play outside with our kids and dancing in the kitchen as my husband makes us dinner.

Jessica was so wonderful at communicating with me before our session and helped us plan the perfect wardrobe with beautiful options in her client closet! I loved getting to know her and sharing my pregnancy with her. The pictures are GORGEOUS! I have received so many compliments, and I love recommending The XO Photography. She has a very unique style for maternity that will make any mom feel beautiful!

Jessica has captured precious moments and milestones of my family, and I am so pleased to say we will continue to use her as our family grows over the years! Jessica is a baby whisperer and has all of the magic touches to get the perfect smiles and coos out of little ones! She is so kind and always has such a positive approach that naturally lightens up the room and makes for a fun session! Jessica takes the most beautiful photos! We used our photos of our newborn son and family photos to give expression throughout our home! We are so grateful for them! Thank you Jessica!

If you have any hesitation about booking with Jessica, don’t! I Let me tell you… it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I didn’t have to worry about what me and my family would wear, she took care of all of it. And during the actual photoshoot she was amazing. Quick but calm and did such a great job of soothing both of my girls when they got fussy from time to time (we have a newborn and a 2 year old). Lastly, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever!

We had so much fun taking pictures with Jessica! She helped us set up the location and outfits for everyone. We have several little kids, and she captured each of them so perfectly. I love how they turned out; the lighting in them is so beautiful! I'm so happy to have these pictures so I can remember my kids at these ages. They are so full of life and love. I love seeing that in the beautiful images. Thank Jessica, for capturing our family! I love how they turned out!

Jessica was amazing!!! Plain and simple. My husband and I did a maternity session with her and it was everything we wanted. She led and guided us with ease and comfort when it came to setting up the shot. The location turned out perfectly! We felt so comfortable with her and it brought out the best in our pictures. My husband and I wound up giggling and smiling naturally for most of the session, and it felt so easy to do around her. Jessica's editing style is by far the best I have ever seen! Our pictures turned out the best they possibly could! Her management of the set-up and process, choosing our favorites, and the session itself was extremely professional yet comfortable and easy to navigate. Husbands usually/typically don't get as excited as we ladies do, but my husband even enjoyed taking the pictures! We couldn't be more pleased with our results and we would go back to her for more sessions without hesitation!

I highly recommend working with Jessica at XO Photography! She recently took our pictures, and I’m so impressed with how easy the entire process was and how beautiful our pictures turned out. Jessica was beyond helpful with every little detail, including outfit choices, recommending the perfect location, and guiding us throughout the shoot. You won’t be disappointed if you use her!
