Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Jessica and I'm a Salem photographer! I grew up in Salem and haven't really lived anywhere else. Pretty sad ha ha, but true! With that I do know Salem pretty well. I graduated from Sprague High School in 2005 and in the same year I met the love of my life! With my wonderful husband came 2 beautiful blonde hair blue eyed babies who are now 13 and 14 years old. In 2007 we had our daughter Korissa.

I discovered my love for Photography in middle school. I loved to write and whenever I wrote I included pictures with my writing. In high school I took 2 years of photography. Working mainly with black and white film in which we developed in class! Sophomore year I received my fist SLR camera from my parents and my photography pretty much took off from there. It wasn't really until my daughter was about 7 months old and I got my first digital (Nikon Coolpix point and shoot) that I learned I actually had a great eye for shooting people and creating great portraits. 3 years ago I purchased my first Nikon DSLR 5100 with the intention to do something with my photography. I didn't. Then last Spring I started booking sessions with practice and here I am! Almost 200 like on Facebook, lot's of experience and feeling proud! I have so much to learn and I am so excited for journey in my life!

Growing up I was always the goofy silly one. Put me in a room of people I don't know you wouldn't hear a peep from me. 30 years old, lot's more people experience, all I want to do is work with and for people. The BEST part of photography is the relationships that I have built, strengthened and made. Meeting new people, getting to know them and often time their families is just a wonderful gift.

I hope that if you were a client that you had nothing less than a fabulous time during your session! If you just visiting I hope that I get the chance to meet you. Thanks for stopping by, have a fab day!
