A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

He start by spending time playing with our kids, therefore getting to know them to bring down that initial barrier. My kids were having so much fun playing with him, and that's when he captured all the cutest moments. Throughout the whole process, he was very patient and professional because he has a little boy of his own as well, so he knew how to deal with kids. He is very smart that he understands what you want from the photo shoot. He is a very easy going person that he'll try his best to accommodate you. What I like about him is prompt, straightforward, precise and good at seizing the moment. He really has a gift in photography. His finishing products have a very simplistic feel, the emphasis is always on the people, nice and simple, that's what we wanted. I would definitely have him to shoot our family photos again soon.

First off, I'd like to specify that this review of Jerry is not only as a client (which I am) but…read morealso from the perspective of another photographer. As a photographer I know who to hire for events and I hired Jerry. Now the reason that Jerry photographed my (much) younger sister's Bat Mitzvah is precisely because Jerry is amazing. Notice that I didn't say "amazing photographer" (which he is). I left that statement hanging with just the word "amazing." That's because Jerry also happens to be a wonderful friend, father, and all around human being. I will actually challenge you to find someone nicer. And yes, he happens to be a fantastic photographer and a total gearhead. I think in selecting a photographer for something like a wedding you should look at how talented the photographer is. Absolutely you should like their images. BUT you should also get a sense for how enjoyable that person is to be around and how honest that person is. This is a person you will interact with a lot. Really a lot sometimes. Your photographer is probably the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day (sometime more than your new spouse) and is the vendor that you will probably have the longest relationship with. Really think about that. I wouldn't typically be so hyperbolic, but in this case it's true: Jerry is the nicest guy I know. If you like his images then you have every reason to hire him.

They were also accommodating in scheduling since my baby was born almost a week late and then I had to reschedule again due to a conflict. Our photographer showed up on time and brought everything with her. She was very patient with our baby since he was fussy halfway through the session. The photos turned out so good! Pricing is competitive for the basic package but it only includes 8 photos. We had 50+ photos in the gallery to choose from so it was impossible to only choose 8. We upgraded our package and the upgrade fees are pretty steep. But I was prepared for that going in. It is very convenient to have a newborn photographer in home especially that first week or so when you're sleep deprived. I would use sweet me again.
