things to know about me

I am a twenty-something year old ball of energy who loves Dr. Pepper, Taylor Swift, and brunch dates with my girl friends. *cue the mimosas*

Before becoming a photographer I spent 5 years in the Navy, because really who knows what they want to do with their life at 18 years old? I sure as hell didn't. Being in the Navy made me realize that not only did I want to be my own boss, but I also wanted a career that made me happy each and every day. I happened to own a DSLR at the time and thought I'd give photography a shot.

I'M JES

cue the mimosas. we're gonna be bffs

I firmly believe if Blair Waldorf was a real person and not a character in a tv show, we would be best friends.

I am pretty much an open book. i generally talk waaay too much, and sometimes a little too loud, especially when I'm a few drinks deep.

I am in love with anything and everything glitter & sparkles.

Hover over the images to see what I love and live for. These are just a few things about me!

what I live for

Hank, my fur baby. Loves: giving kisses, going on car rides, rolling over, people food, belly rubs, and doggie daycare. Also answers to Hankins Pankins, Angel Boy, That Baby, and Shnookums Wookums.

I have 10 tattoos, and yes, I read the disclaimer...I am well aware that they're permanent.

+3 years later...

Here I am running my own photography business! I started out shooting anything and everything so I could practice my skills and decide what I liked and didn't like. I came to the conclusion that I LOVE love, so that's primarily what I shoot: couples that are madly in love. Big weddings, small weddings, intimate elopements, and adventurous couples sessions are my jam. I want to learn your love story, and capture it in a way that you will remember forever.

In addition to hustling hard for these big dreams of mine, I am also a full time college student, graduating in August 2019 from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science in Communications. From there I plan to just keep that degree in my back pocket, because photography is really my only passion, and it's what sets my soul on fire.
