My passion is capturing these moments in a way that feels effortless, emotional, and beautifully artistic.

Welcome, Mama

Motherhood is filled with fleeting moments - the warmth of your baby curled against your chest, the laughter of your little ones as they twirl in the golden light, the quiet in-between touches that speak volumes.

A Relaxed & Meaningful Experience

I believe the best images come when you’re fully present, simply loving on your babies. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just you, your family, and the deep connections that make your story unique. Each session is designed to feel natural and relaxed, while I guide you with gentle direction to create images that are both emotional and artistic.


“Choosing Jess was the best decision we could have made. She is communicative, patient and professional. She made everyone feel comfortable and worked with the chaos of small children. She is a true artist and has an eye for her craft. I would highly recommend Motherhood by Jess to any family.”

Your story deserves to be told in a way that feels true to you—full of warmth, connection, and artistry. I would love to document these fleeting moments for you.

Bucket List Sessions

Some sessions have been quietly living in my head, just waiting for the right family or mama to bring them to life. This is my Bucket List — a collection of dream sessions I’d love to photograph this year. If one of these speaks to you, let’s make it happen! You’ll get beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos plus a little thank you from me for helping turn a creative vision into reality.

Bucket List Ideas:

  • Vintage Ice Cream Date — Sticky hands, big smiles, retro cones, and a touch of nostalgia.
  • Bookstore Family Session — Cozy, literary vibes, pages flipping, shared stories.
  • Sunflower Field Family Shoot — Big blooms, wild joy, and carefree, sun-soaked moments.
  • Generational Women Portraits — Grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and babies together; a legacy of love.
  • Goddess Session — Flowing dresses, flower crowns, fierce, empowered portraits in nature.
  • Mud Couples or Engagement Session — Playful, messy, wildly romantic connection.
  • Mount Baker Session — Wild alpine meadows, mountain backdrops, and epic family or maternity adventure.
  • Floating Air Mattress Couples Session — Dreamy, romantic moments on a lake at golden hour, cozy on the water.
  • Family River Session — Barefoot exploring along a small stream, catching frogs, skipping stones, and candid joy.
  • Woman’s Floral Bath Session — Maternity or newborn-focused, surrounded by floating blooms and tender, intimate moments.
