Every year I get to see this little peanut and I ALWAYS look forward to it. Why? Because I know it’s going to be a super silly and fun session. Her personality and intellegence blows me away. I remember photographing her at 2 and having stimulating conversation! Now at 4 she’s only gotten smarter, funnier…
Hey there! We are finally all settled in our new home and studio in St. Louis Park! I have to say we love it here already…it’s great to be back in the city. So we’ve had a lot on our plate lately…but all good, wonderful things. But the absolute BEST news I have to share…
Wow – congratulations on your new adoption! I found your blog via Emily (Lulu’s mom) a while ago and I love your work (I’m a fellow VN mom/photographer). Also – I went to Macalester so I remember the weather up there and it’s great to see how you persevere through the winter 
But my point is, congratulations!!!
Jess, I’m so happy for you and your family. Three cheers! Actually, make that four. ; )
That is wonderful news for you! Congratulations.
Congratulations on your little one! Such exciting news!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!
EEEK!!!! so happy that you will FINALLY be a family of 4!!
Here’s another cute family to share with you. An adorable baby girl and her 2 big brothers. This family was loving on each other for the whole session and it was so fun to photograph. These boys are the silliest and sweetest little guys…they totally won me over. And baby sister? Melt my heart.
What an amazing location!!! I wish they had something like that in AZ!
For awhile I have been wanting to photograph this incredible woman. She happens to be my cousin. She was the flower girl in my parent’s wedding. We rode horses on the farm. I looked up to her in her in her ACDC t-shirt (which I eventually inherited)…and now again in our 30′s. This gorgeous woman….
im a little obsessed with the black and white hand shot.
um love.
love these. just stunning. great work.
A.MAZ.ING. These are incredible images! You are so talented it blows my mind.
FABULOUS concept. Love your idea. These images are breathtaking. I assume she is pretty happy with them!?!?

Breathtaking for us mere mortals who thrive on beauty. Your color here is perfection. No doubt she loves these and will for decades.
These photos are unbelievable! Jill, I’m liking the tatoo work better all the time. You’ll have to wear those two dresses all the time so everybody can enjoy the beauty. Jess you are so good at sitting up the scenery and pose. Oh, to be young again.
Stunning.Amazing.Beautiful.Love them!
Stunning,absolutely stunning. Kudos to both ladies on a job well done!
XOXO
Increible.
And no, that is not incredible spelled incorrectly. These photos were so amazing I felt I needed to comment in a different language!
Beautiful.
What a beautiful set! -just stunning! I love the location too. Where is this?
There isn’t a formula for family portrait photography…there may SEEM like there is…but there isn’t . Your portrait session can be as unique as you are. I love collaborating to create art…and I love this family! I first worked with them last year…and was thrilled when they called to schedule another session. Both parents are…
What a beautiful family!!
Jess – this is such a great shoot – love all of the personality! love it!!!
Jessica… You are such an amazing photographer!! I love all of these photos. So creative, beautiful and fun!!
One of my favorite families and a fabulous bunch of photos! Soo much better than the old “everyone put on your denim!” shot. And of course mama looks ver’ nice in that dress.
We heart Jess! These are awesome and we had so much fun working with you. Thank you for being so open and collaborative in our editorial vision. You’re finishing is what sets you apart from the pack. We can’t thank you enough! We are already looking forward to next May!
Miss Jess – I think this is my favorite shoot of yours everrrr…..it’s absolute perfection! xo
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
Its like a gorgeous editorial on life! What a beautiful family.

Enjoy the time for getting your new studio ready, Jess. Looking forward to seeing your work in the new year!
First let me start out by saying that I am still here! We have been down for the count for close to 8 days now with a nasty virus. I am on the upswing…but don’t let the screechy almost gone voice answering the phone scare you…it’s just me . So on to more important things….
What a gorgeous family, I just love Autumn shoots, all those leaves, beautiful light. And you are just so creative x
LOVin this session, she is adorable… the very last photo .. i just want to give her a hug! Great Job Jess!

Your work . . . I need to get a thesaurus . . . I need more words for Stunning Perfection. . . .
This family has a lot of it. I photographed these 3 last year and was excited to work with them again. Their connection is deep…and bubbles over on the surface (which always makes my job easier). No need to tell them to relax or ‘act’ candid, lol…they have it going on naturally! And little miss?…
Wow, these are beautiful, I have tears in my eyes.
You’ve done it again. These images are beautiful. The family will cherish these.
An old necklace… Shooting info: all of these shots are shot “wide” open…meaning my aperture is set at it’s widest possible setting which in this case is f/1.4. This means that only a very small portion of the shot will be in focus…which is the look I usually favor. For portraits it allows for the…
i absolutely adore these images. i love your ideas, so unique…
