As a parent, I know how quickly your child changes. Those first years fly by in a blur of milestones, smiles, and personality. It’s easy to miss the precious details in the rush of daily life, which is why capturing these moments is so important.

While phone photos are great for everyday memories, they can’t capture the depth or essence of your child’s growth. Professional photos preserve the sparkle in their eyes, their unique personality, and the details that change so quickly.

As a Springfield, MO milestone and kids photographer, I’ll help you freeze these fleeting moments and create timeless photos that will become cherished family memories for years to come. Your child’s first year is too precious to let slip by—let’s preserve it beautifully.

Kelsey & Derek

I was amazed by Jessica! Her pictures speak for themselves but she was so kind, patient, and complimentary! Having three kids under the age of 5 it’s not easy to keep them interested and entertained but she had them smiling the whole time!  Jessica also was amazing at communication with styling of outfits and delivery of images! I can’t wait to have another session with her!

Jessica showed the patience, kindness, and creativity we needed! In the time we had, she was able to capture the love, fun, and smiles of each family member. She does an amazing job at capturing candid moments, which are my personal favorite. She allowed my child to play and be himself and worked with us to make real life into photos that we can treasure forever. I am so grateful she was able to capture us so well and deliver such beautiful pictures. She is truly talented!
