Merry Christmas to you & yours 🎄

📷:

Hi 👋 Jessi here! It’s been a while since I’ve shown my face around and I wanted to take a minute to say hello and tell you a few things about me that you might not know.
1️⃣ I met my husband over 20 years ago! We were high school sweethearts 😍 Our 5 year wedding anniversary is next month!
2️⃣ I actually have a degree in photography from Appalachian State. Go Mountaineers!🎓
3️⃣ I’m obsessed with thrifting. My favorite store is 👍
What’s one thing I might not know about you?

Sister love and the last of warm nights 💕

More Autumnal cuteness to remind you to book your Fall portraits before my calendar closes for the year🍂

Who else is excited about sweater weather? I sure am! Did you see that I released my date for Charlotte mini sessions? Want more info? Send me a message to get on the calendar before they book up!

It’s Friday! And a long weekend! That means some quality time with my favorite guy😍
I’m picking a date for Fall Mini Sessions and including it in my upcoming newsletter. If you aren’t already subscribed, the link is in my bio☝️I’ll be hitting send as soon as this dude catches all my typos🤓Have a wonderful weekend!

Can you believe it’s almost pumpkin spice season? To be honest, I’m not a fan. I love a pumpkin beer, but that’s about it. It’s also portrait season! Message me to book your session 🍂

I can’t thank Elizabeth of enough for these beautiful images ❤️🌊 Banks at the Outer Banks for the first time! Such a special thing to capture. Get photographed, make memories, print your photos 📷

Summertime strolls where the bugs looks like sparkles ✨

Feeling stuck? Take a lesson from this little dude and get outside & stretch🙃

These two beautiful people have one on the way 💙

🌱I share my home with 28 houseplants 🌵

Black men matter. Black women matter. Black children matter. Black history matters. Black art matters. Black music matters. Black justice matters. BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Someday moderately soon I’ll photograph people other than my daughter, but for now, here is Banks and her sleepy, just-woke-up face that I love so much🖤

This photo is from my first Mother’s Day as a mom. JP took it as we were getting ready to go out, listen to some live music, grab a beer and just hang out outside, together. I love it so much. Look at that little butt 🍑 Photos are the gift that keeps on giving. I am still running my mini-session pre-sale through the end of the month, so if you are looking for something special for mom, look no further 🖤

Oh hey there 👋 How is everyone holding up? What are some of your new normal routines that you are loving? Trying my best to reframe over here. Instead of thinking about what I’m missing I’m trying to think about what I’m enjoying. Family bikes rides & chats are the top of the list! I want to hear yours!
