Nice to Meet You!

My name is Jessica, but you can call me Jess. 🙂 I’m a professional wedding and portrait photographer new to the Pismo Beach, California area who LOVES the outdoors. I’m also the mom of an amazing 12-year-old son and a Space Force wife.

While I may share a few personal details here, the most important thing I want you to know is that I care. My goal is to exceed your expectations and help you in any way I can.

On my days off, I’m always ready for a beach day, camping, hiking, traveling, yoga, running, paddling, and adventures of all kinds. You can usually find me near the water chasing our gorgeous sunsets, walking Hot Dog, running trails, sampling wine, enjoying a crackling fire on the coast with my family, or adventuring all over California and beyond.

Education & Style

While my professional background is in digital marketing with a master’s in sustainability, I have also worked for photographers off and on for nearly twenty years, taken classes and certifications, and won a few awards. My photography style is timeless, natural, and fun.
