I'm Jess

... your dog obsessed, beer loving, paddle boarding, homebody. But lets be honest, who actually likes talking about themselves, so bare with me while I struggle through this part. Who am I? That loud one that's constantly smiling and swears that she's talking in a normal pitch. Sorry 'bout it. I'm 25, living in the good ole middle of the USA, Kansas. I am married to my best friend, Austin, and we have two amazing golden retrievers. I graduated from the University of Arkansas, Woo Pig, with a Criminal Justice and a Sociology degree and the dream to become a Crime Scene Investigator. So obviously I'm obsessed with any TV show about crime scenes and I just started getting hooked on True Crime podcasts.

Struggle through this part. Who am I? That loud one that is constantly smiling and swears that she is talking in a normal pitch. Sorry 'bout it. I am 27, living in the good ole middle of the USA, Kansas. I am married to my best friend, Austin, and we have two amazing golden retrievers. I graduated from the University of Arkansas, Woo Pig, with a Criminal Justice and a Sociology degree and the dream to become a Crime Scene Investigator. So obviously I'm obsessed with any TV show about crime scenes and I just started getting hooked on True Crime podcasts.

They say moments don't last forever. I'm here to change that.

So how does a CSI wannabe
become a photographer?

Well, you can thank those two golden retrievers that I mentioned, Finley and Zeke. One day I broke down and decided to create an Instagram account for them and the rest is pretty much history. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. To be fair, Fin and Zeke were pretty much all I posted about on my personal accounts anyways, so I figured they deserved their own page of fame. At first, I started taking photos of them with my phone and it was more of just for fun and entertainment. Then we started learning all these fun tricks (their hugs are to die for) and going on paddle boarding adventures. After several months of taking photos, I started realizing that the camera roll on my phone was completely jam packed with photos of them. Some I had even forgotten that I had taken. But while looking through them, I was taken back to those exact moments when they were captured. And that's when I started taking photography more seriously. I decided that I wanted to capture forever lasting memories. Photos that could take you back in time.

So here I am, capturing moments. The love. The laughter. And even the tears. 

I want you to look back at your photos and remember what it felt like. Every detail. Every emotion. I want to serve you 100%.

Lets do this.
