AUSTIN FAMILY & NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
About JESSICA
Wife | Mother | Photographer | Artist
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. I never really know what to say in this space because talking about myself always feels a little odd, but I do think it’s important for you to know who I am.
So here it goes – I’m Jessica – you can call me Jess. First and foremost, authenticity is my jam and I believe all you need is love. Life is just too damn short to fake anything..so just be you..perfectly imperfect you. I got a BFA from Texas State University in Communication Design. I spent a decade in graphic design, but it never spoke to my soul—you see, photography was always there – I just got so good at ignoring it. Oh the excuses—there are too many photographers already, but I can’t afford a nice camera, am I good enough? will I be good enough? The passion laid dormant for years and years. That time finally came to an end and I decided to follow my heart. I started professional photography in 2016 and I couldn’t be more in love. You can learn more about me by visiting VoyageAustin and Canvas Rebel.
I am married to my best friend – he is, hands down, my number one fan – and for that, I am very thankful. We have a son who is almost 8 years old – he was the inspiration and catalyst behind my photography journey—that’s right, becoming a mom significantly changed my life – (shocker). We welcomed our baby girl into the world 5 years ago. So here I am – juggling life with 2 young children, grieving the loss of my mother, and growing my business; meanwhile, trying my hardest to embrace the chaos and to cherish these crazy times that I know will be missed one day.
Let’s make some magic together!
Fun facts:

- Food is my favorite.
- I love whales.
- I would love to travel more and see more live concerts.

- Dark chocolate makes me sad and poor customer service makes me mad.
