Minneapolis Photographer specializing in custom maternity, newborn, child, family and senior portraits.
One final session to share from Atlanta. This beautiful photographer’s family won me over at hello. It didn’t hurt that they brought me a welcome basket of goodies…got to love southern hospitality! But really…this girl’s energy is contagious. So it makes sense that her family was so sweet and connected…their love for each other, tangible….
After being rained out on our original date…we lucked out with a gorgeous day for our rescheduled sessions. I also lucked out with amazing and beautiful families!!! I really loved how these turned out. Thanks to all of you for being to flexible with your time due to the rainy weather . Fall Mini Sessions…
Yowza! Those are some doggone cute kiddos! Love the photos as always, Jess.
Well. Almost. But the signs of spring are beginning to show…and that is more than enough for me! As a mom, I have long run out of new and fun things to do indoors…since we have been indoors since November! As a photographer, I am chomping at the bit to be outside again shooting in…
YES! Cannot wait to be outdoors again. Though I love your inside photos too.
I loved photographing this brother and sister. She’s a tiny little thing full of smiles and spunk and he’s a huge barely 14 year old basketball star (not kidding…I should have brought a stool as he towered over me). But they were so sweet together…despite the age (and size) difference. It is obvious she adores…
I just have to comment that these are adorable! I just love the first and last ones. They made me smile out loud.
These shots are amazing! First and last are my favorites. Happen to know these 2! Great kids!
sooo sweet! the last one is precious!
Love this session! I just want to nibble on the little pixie!
i LOVE that last photo!
Like this guy here. Not a care in the world as long as his mommy was nearby. And the way he looked at her…melted my heart every time. Sigh…such a cutie!
what a cutie! these are adorable! the dof in the first and last ones are to die for! fabulous!
Darling! Just beautiful!
These images are perfect yet again. They are so crisp, and your processing is so beautiful. This little boy and his mum are beautiful – They will adore these images.
Sometimes I just need to shoot for me. I love photographing my clients…don’t get me wrong. But even though I am having fun…it is still work . When I shoot for myself I can be wild and uninhibited. Break all the rules and not care. The only one I have to please is myself and…
LOVE these! brilliant!
when i think i can’t love your work more, you go and post these. jess, these are amazing. i love when you break the rules and shoot for you.
i love the water shot — the light — the comp — the pp — it’s all perfect…and the one of the back of her dress — therearenowords. i just love it.
awesome!
you + lensbaby = meant to be. beautiful.

I love them they are so mysterious, you want to see more and read into them, ‘who is she ?’ also springs to mind. The water is my favourite too x
SO gorgeous!! Wonderful eye (and fantastic dress)!
LOVE!!! Especially the one in the water…beautiful!
I usually have a hard time with the idea of the lensbaby but you use it well. these are gorgeous!
These are beautiful. Your images always have something so special about them. I can’t stop looking at them. Lens baby?
One of my greatest inspirations as a photographer is childhood. The magic, the mystery…the freedom to believe in things unseen. Imaginary worlds and places far away. Our minds are free to dream up the impossible…not yet tied down by the rules and regulations of reality. I think that is why I am so attracted to…
Jess,
These are brillant photos! They give a peek into your soul. My favorite is the second one. Gorgeous!
Hey there Jess – these are truly exceptional – incredibly evocative – so beautifully lit and composed – wonderful tones – I’m crazy about this second last one in particular – would love some inside info on what settings you used! pretty please!
i am so in LOVE with these. i think the second one is my favorite. brilliant!
so magical! that last one…the water almost looks like angel wings. i love them so! xo
Yes yes YES!!!! I would love a huge canvas of that third one because it truly IS magical. Well done lady!
Jess,
These photos are incredible. The out of focus nature of the photos allows us to insert ourselves or our loved ones into the same photo–brings back memories of our childhoods and allows them to relive them and cherish them all over again.
Exquisite.
keep dreaming sweet friend because there are no limits to your dreams and what is possible. these are magical.
many hugs,
deb
the more I see these the more I love them. that third one… takes my breath away. I hope you start doing these kind of shots for your clients. ans yes, what setting?
to quote our wendy… there are no words…
these images are incredible!
Wow, so beautiful. I especially love the one where the water looks like droplets of light. I’m with Beata in wanting to know what settings you used. I’d frame these prints!
The water droplets one is simply divine! I could not possibly love it an more. Beautiful post.
These images take my breath away…i can’t stop scrolling through them over and over. Beautiful. you must tell me what settings you used on the last two images. you are one talented chica! xxx
Because that’s what we do during the spring and early summer in Minnesota right? The weather the last few days has been perfect…especially after that 10 day stint of rain. What WAS that? Anyway…we love getting out in the yard and beautifying. And this year we have an extra set of hands! So in other…
you are probably wearing out your shutter finger as i write this! i hope the wedding is going well! can’t wait to see!!!
super sweet spring shots here!
You’ll be great, I’m dying the build up the confidence to do a second shoot. Doesn’t adoption bring you closer to people, I’m adopted and it feels like being part of a special club. Have fun and don’t forget to post some pics x
I’m sure they will turn out amazing! Can’t wait to see
