Hi I'm Jess, I work with women that are camera shy and struggle to see how beautiful they are. I create experiences for women, to make them look and feel amazing. I then capture that feeling in a photo.
I help clients to see them as their true selves.
Because of this my clients receive photos that they love and are proud of that they want to keep and share for a life time.
Me, Jess and my Beautiful Makeup Artist Maddie from Mad Maddie's Makeup

I also have a subscription that you can sign up to, to receive weekly updates, tips, hints and the latest photoshoots.
14. I have a family and a busy life. I don't have much time to spare. How much time do I need? Session with hair and makeup usually take around 4hrs, depending how many people are needing hair and makeup. I understand you have a family, but why not take a sneaky day off work and spoil yourself, it will be well worth it.
If I start from the beginning, I would start around the age of 10 when my Uncle gave me a SLR camera (not the digital type). With no instructions, I played around with the settings and made my 2 sisters pose for photos. Also doing their hair and makeup too.
So from a young age I have loved photography but especially had an urge to make girls look and feel beautiful, the way that I saw them.
As most young girls, I worried about the way I looked, am I pretty enough? Did I fit in with the girls at school? I worried that my feet were too big! My hair wouldn't cooperate like everyone else.
I wish now I could tell the young me, that it is ok to be different in fact, it's great to be different.
You are beautiful just the way you are!!
At the end of the day your given one body, 1 face, 2 feet, 2 legs, 2 arms and that is what you are stuck with for the rest of your life.
So Love yourself TODAY, inside and out. And Embrace You!!
I am finally at the stage in my life that I can honestly say I love me for me! And so should you.
So with my love of photography, it was put on the back burner for years just taking candid photos. I then had a family of my own with my 3rd almost ready to be born I decided to take my photography to the next level. I did my diploma in photography via correspondence which had its own challenges. But even today I am still learning to perfect my craft. My passion now and has always been in photographing women and showing them the Best version of themselves.
Seeing their reaction when they come back for their reveal just makes my job even more satisfying. I have clients in tears, that can't believe how beautiful they are and always have been. They just needed someone to show them.
And that is why I am so passionate about what I do. The emotions that people show me when they see themselves, is just life changing. For them, and for me.
And to top it all off I have met so many lovely clients, that have now become very close friends, and I look forward to meeting so many more.
