Moments go by quickly, memories should be caught to last a lifetime.

Photography for families and couples that are unhurried, full of life and love.

Families · North Georgia

So much more than static faces.

Family photography can be about preserving the joint heartbeat of your uniquely mingled souls. Whether your family is growing, changing, or simply savoring everyday togetherness, these photographs are meant to be experiential, tangible, palpable. Forget the kind of photo session you cannot wait to be done with. Small children, many children, adult children: all are welcome, and welcome to come as they are.

The session

An hour that doesn't feel like work.

We meet somewhere with room to walk, in your home or outdoors. Jess talks to your kids as much as she talks to you. There are real tender moments taking place, unrehearsed.

  • An optional 15-minute call beforehand for location and styling recommendations
  • A storytelling session of 60 to 90 minutes in a location of your choice
  • A pre-session styling guide to help you plan your wardrobe as beautiful as can be
  • Medium-format film, with digital backup for the quick moments
  • A private online gallery to view and download your images at home
  • Fine-art prints available in the built-in Gallery Print Shop, along with cards, table books, albums and more

Notes from friends

"My family and I have been incredibly blessed to have had Jessie capture so many special life events and every time I walk away feeling like our time was captured in moments I will remember, not just photos taken. She stewards her gift of loving people well through the art of photography and it shows in every photo, as you see the joy and comfort that rests on the faces of your loved ones, even the ones who aren’t fans of getting photos taken. She doesn’t pose you, she helps to create a space to live in those precious, genuine moments with the people you love most, and the outcome is always outstanding."
Cate
"Jess did an amazing job capturing our family photos! She has such a natural way with children, and our kids warmed up to her instantly. With so many little ones, family photo sessions can often feel like a stressful ordeal, but Jesse makes the entire experience feel playful, relaxed, and seamless. We absolutely treasure the beautiful photos she captures, especially the little in-between moments and thoughtful details that make our family unique. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"
Mallory
“Jessie came down the farm lane in her cute rain boots, barn cat at her heels, camera ready to go. The golden hour was just beginning, perfect for this master of shadows and light. Somehow time was suspended for just a moment. She doesn't just make pictures. She makes memories.”
Grace
"I honestly can’t say enough about Jess and what she gave us through these pictures. My husband and I have never been comfortable in front of a camera, but somehow she made us forget the camera was even there and simply let us be us—best friends, adventure buddies, and two people who have loved each other for 42 years. She learned our story well enough to understand what mattered to us, and she captured things I didn’t even know a photograph could capture—the way we look at each other, the comfort between us, the laughter, the wrinkles and age spots, and all the years behind them. We walked away feeling like we had just had one of the best dates we’d had in a long time, and then she gave us photographs that somehow look exactly like our life and our love feel. We will always be grateful to Jessie for that."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Still wondering about something?

Ask Jess directly
Do you offer mini sessions?
Not at this time. Full sessions are how Jess gets all the moments that matter, and how you and your loved ones get comfortable enough to be fully yourselves. Every family and couple gets unhurried time.
What should we wear?
Things you'd actually wear or feel beautiful in. After you book you'll get a short styling guide on colours, textures and what photographs well on both film and digital, plus an honest opinion if you send options to Jess.
What if it rains?
Spring and fall both have weather. 2-3 backup dates are offered in each seasonal window and you simply adjust together if needed. Soft, overcast light is often the best light there is - so that's not a concern.
Can grandparents join in family sessions?
Please. Generations together are a favourite thing to photograph. Mention it when you book so it can be best planned ahead of the time.
Where are sessions held?
Around North Georgia in spring and fall: the farm in Clermont, Cherokee Bluffs Park, nearby meadows and ridges, or your home. For families who are abroad or traveling, see Destinations.
