phytophile: a person that thrives around plants (aka, me.)

I have been passionate about the beauty and art of photography Since watching my grandfather do it as a career and hobby during his lifetime.
The way he captured life’s moments left you with deep emotions and stunning imagery.
Once I was able to have my own camera and took my first picture, it gave me a deeper meaning of myself.
After spending years capturing images at any and all moments I could,
I knew I had to make it my life’s purpose.
Nature has always caught my eye, The combination of the way we express love and gratitude
within nature
just cannot be beat.

kind words from you lovely humans.

“Her gentle and warm encouragements during the session allowed us
to embrace the nature around us and just focus on each other
so that we could show our most authentic selves.”

Honestly, 5 stars isn’t enough. I knew after one conversation with Jess, I found the perfect person for the job. Someone that was going to perfectly understand my husband and I, capture us beautifully, and make it feel like we had a long lost friend photographing our wedding. There is nothing Jess fell short of. Any hiccup, unplanned weather…you’d have thought everything went exactly to plan. Our pictures are flawless, our day was incredible, and I am forever grateful for Jess.”

‘I have only compliments to say about Jess. She's a people-person with a wonderful personality, and a bad ass one-woman show!
