South Hills Based Photographer

Your Story Starts Here | Real Life, Beautifully Documented

Hi, I’m Jess, a Pittsburgh family photographer who believes your photos should actually feel like your family.


I’m here to photograph the real stuff: the chaos, the quiet moments, and all the little things you probably don’t realize you’ll miss someday. Whether we’re exploring a Pittsburgh park, wandering around the city, hanging out at your home, I want your session to feel less like a photo shoot and more like a really good day together.


I photograph families, high school seniors, newborns, maternity, and births throughout Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.

Testimonials

Adam & Katie


“We hired Jess as our doula and for a fresh 48 session. She was an amazing doula and just a lovely person to work with. We had our photo session when our daughter was 5 weeks old in our home, and Jess was, again, so wonderful to work with. The session felt easy and relaxed and we love every photo that came out of it! We are glad to have met her and so glad we decided to hire her.”
