Hi, Jessie here!

I’M A HUDSON VALLEY family Photographer

I’ve been doing this for over a decade, but my philosophy remains the same: Parenthood is really hard work, kids change unbelievably fast, and real moments are worth documenting and hanging on the wall.

I keep the process simple & the session stress-free to create honest family heirlooms that feel like home.

The best photos are always candid

More connecting. less Stressing.

Getting amazing family photos is easy…. once you shift your mindset away from the “hold still, smile, put your hand here, lower your shoulder.” Ditch the studio and the stress.

Instead, let me come to you. Wear whatever you want. Don’t worry if the house is a mess, it’s all part of this phase of life. We’ll only focus on creating authentic moments that get beautifully photographed.

Documentary photography is about moments and memories. It’s about telling the story of your family authentically. It’s how your kids will fill the gaps when they’re older. It’s how you’ll remember this time when looking back over the many phases of parenthood. It’s not about perfection, it’s about feeling.

Think about your own favorite childhood photos. Are they in a studio? Or are they photos of moments at home? Can you see evidence of your first room, your front yard, your young parents, your favorite toys? What do you love when it comes to your own childhood photos and how can you give that same gift to your kids? Let me help you create your family archives, something tangible to share for generations.

“My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.” - Nan Goldin

Take photos with mom in the frame

"I just worry that he will grow up and have pictures with everyone but his mom. And god forbid something happens to me I want him to know how much I love him and cared for him. So really want the memories for him. Just really want to have a fun genuine session where the love of our tiny little family shines through."

schedule your newborn session before the baby arrives

You’ll never regret having someone document these first few days at home, with everyone in the frame. And the window for newborn photos is finite (they grow crazy fast!).
