Last summer (2018) I started searching Instagram for a local photographer to take pictures of my husband and Me for that Fall.I am extremely picky about photographers and let me tell you why. My husband and I were married in July 2017 in a small and private ceremony. I made the mistake of letting my husband choose the photographer which happened to be one of his friends. I had not seen any of this persons work but my husband wanted to help him out by hiring him to do our ceremony so I agreed. When we finally got the pictures we were extremely disappointed... we went through the entire gallery in silence... I even started tearing up. They were horrible and I was crushed. We had a different photographer for our reception that was held a few months later but I was still so disappointed that we didn't have any decent pictures from our actual wedding day. Like many guys my husband hates taking pictures! Whenever I ask to take a picture with him it's always accompanied with a sigh and an eye roll. With that being said I was surprised and delighted when he agreed for me to plan a photoshoot for us as a "re-do" to make up for the horrible wedding pictures. This is when I began my hunt for the perfect photographer! I came across Jessie's page and I really liked her style. I sent her a DM and to my surprise she responded promptly and professionally. I shared with her my vision of having a fall photoshoot, when the aspen leaves are a brilliant yellow. We selected a date in October and Jessie sent over a contract to make it official. I booked a hotel to make a weekend out of it, especially because we live in the valley and our sessions was 7am Sunday in Flagstaff. As the days approached I started to get nervous. The forecast was less than favorable and between the hotel, photographer fee and my husband taking the weekend off work there was a lot at stake. Jessie and I were texting every day that week leading up to the shoot. I had contemplated rescheduling as the forecast called for rain and thunderstorms. Jessie was supportive either way and was willing to take a chance if we were. My husband and I decided to risk it and drove up to Flagstaff that Saturday. It was cold but the rain had stopped... or so it seemed. The morning of the shoot we woke up to snow! I messaged Jessie concerned she may cancel but she was all in! We met her at aspen corner as we had originally planned. For those of you that know this location you know that it's usually packed with people on a weekend morning in October. To our delight we were the only people there. Our sessions was better than imagined! We had the gold leaves of the aspen trees with a light blanket of snow! Jessie was amazing and the direction she gave my husband and me during the shoot was so helpful!She made us feel extremely comfortable and actually made it fun!As we got in the car when we were finished my husband said he wouldn't mind shooting with her again! This coming from Mr. "I hate my picture being taken " was amazing! When we got our pictures back we were overjoyed! We loved ALL of our pictures! Jessie has restored my faith in photographers!Immediately after our shoot we booked with her again for Fall 2019 (yes a year in advance)! I wish we had found Jessie sooner but we are blessed to have her as our family photographer from here on out. If you want to have an amazing personalized experience trust us, book with Jessie! read more

If you're looking for someone who takes great photos, is super easy to work with, knows what they are doing, makes you feel comfortable, and is just an overall great person- look no further! I knew Jessie was a great photographer from seeing her work, but being one of her clients for the first time, she's a keeper for sure! I'm already thinking of more sessions that we can do with her! For reference, I booked Jessie for a mini session for our family Christmas cards. I liked that she had knowledge about different locations to shoot, and had suggestions when I told her what kind of background I thought I was looking for (she knows of so many locations throughout the valley to match what you're looking for). Here's the "stressful" part. This was going to be our first photo session with not just twin babies, but two slightly wild dogs, and a Grandma. I was nervous and a little stressed as to whether or not we would get a good shot in the time frame we had. Well, writing this review now almost brings tears of happiness to my eyes, because she totally nailed our session. She totally knocked it out of the park. This session was super special to me because she was capturing our family for the first time, and she was able to capture all the requests I had AND IN 20 MINUTES! AND IT WAS SO EASY! We felt so at ease. She gave us great direction. My stress totally went away. Jessie is so relaxed and easy to work with. You'll definitely want to book her for anything you need captured! She is an incredible person to work with! PS not only did I use these photos for Christmas cards, I also ordered 4 17x25 to hang in my house in all there glory =) read more

Jessie truly stood out from other photographers we met and considered working with! We actually found out about her because she photographed my brother's engagement and wedding photos. I LOVED the results, had known she was easy to work with, and I got to see her in action at my brother's wedding. She's based in AZ but came to CA for my brother's wedding and she immediately said yes to coming to TX for mine. Even though she was out-of-state, she was incredibly communicative, professional, kind, and helpful! We had a facetime session to go over the shots my husband and I wanted, and we emailed/texted throughout the process. We got our sneak peak back and we are blown away at how gorgeous they were! As a girl who rarely like's photos of herself, I was in awe at how beautiful they were! I will definitely use her again for maternity photos and family photos down the road! read more

Jessie is an absolute GEM. She was so wonderful to work with from the very beginning when the planning was CAKE, then 29 changes later Jessie was the only vendor still with me, helping me every single step of the way. She is more than a photographer, she helped in ways I didn't know she would or could. Beyond her just being an incredible person, her photos are breathtaking. I could not have imagined my special day with anyone else. STOP LOOKING. I promise you will not regret it. Thank Jessie for being the best out there, you will be my go to whenever I need ANY photos! :) With so so SOOOOO much love!!!! -The Foxes :) read more

We've had Jessie do 4 photo sessions over the last year and we love her! She knows what she is doing, is willing to work around our preferences, and responds to anything we send. We are happy with all of the photos--lighting, variation, poses--and we will continue to go to her for photo sessions. Another great thing about Jessie is that she is super easy to talk to, making it a relaxing, fun experience. Definitely recommend! read more
