Hi, I’m Jess

I am a California-born photographer and creative designer with a deep love for storytelling and visual arts. I have been honored to photograph hundreds of weddings, families, and portraits over the past 16 years. Telling people’s stories has always been one of my greatest passions. I am always grateful that I get to bear witness to so many beautiful things. I’m an Orange County photographer based in San Clemente, CA, but I always welcome the opportunity to travel.

I’m a wedding, family, maternity, and commercial photographer who shoots in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I work with digital, 35mm film, and medium format film to capture images that feel timeless and nostalgic. I love how film allows me to create the emotional, story-driven photos I want my clients to treasure.

I am passionate about cultivating slow & intentional rhythms, making our home cozy, being near the water and reading with an iced matcha. I’m a deep feeler & dreamer by heart. I find inspiration in beautiful films, poetry and analogue in all forms.

My work celebrates family, motherhood, and the beautiful moments that make up your story. Thank you a thousand times over for being here. I can’t wait to work with you.
