Family photos shouldn't feel like one more thing on your to-do list.

You deserve a photographer who makes the whole experience feel easy.



My sessions are relaxed, playful, and built around your family, not perfect poses.

We'll play games, follow your kids' lead, take breaks when we need them, and embrace all the little in-between moments.

My hope is that when you get back in the car, you're thinking, "That was actually fun."


Hi, I'm Jessica.

Mother. Wife. Photographer



I'm a wife and mom of three, so I know firsthand that family life is beautifully chaotic. I know what it's like to wrestle a toddler into clothes, pack way too many snacks, and wonder if everyone is going to make it out the door on time.


That's probably why I love photographing families the way I do. I know the best photos don't come from perfectly behaved kids or perfectly posed families. They come from connection, laughter, and giving everyone permission to just be themselves.


When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me surviving on coffee, snacks that my kids didn't finish, or editing.

your family is welcome here

Whether your child is shy, endlessly curious, always on the move, or simply has their own way of experiencing the world, they're welcome here.


My sessions aren't about expecting everyone to sit still or smile on command. They're about creating a space where your family can relax, be yourselves, and know you're never being judged.



Every family has a story worth celebrating, and I'd be honored to tell yours.

Let's Plan Your Session

These days don't stay little for long.


Whether you're counting down the days until you meet your baby or trying to memorize every tiny detail after they're finally here, this season has a way of slipping by before you're ready.

As a mom of three, I know how quickly those first kicks become first birthdays, and how impossible it feels to slow time down.


That's why maternity and newborn photography mean so much to me. Not because everything has to be perfect, but because one day you'll look back and realize just how little they really were.


The tiny fingers wrapped around yours.

The sleepy stretches.

The way they fit perfectly on your chest.


Those little things quietly become memories before you even notice they're changing.


As a Puyallup maternity and newborn photographer, I want to preserve this season exactly as it is, so years from now you can remember what it felt like before they outgrew your shoulder.

Because time doesn't slow down.


It was never really about photography.

It was about wishing I could slow time down.


One day I was walking my daughter into kindergarten, wondering how she had grown up so fast. Before I knew it, she wasn't my baby anymore.

That feeling never really goes away.


Now I photograph families because I know just how quickly these seasons pass.


Because ordinary days have a way of becoming the ones you miss the most.

I love games!

Cards, dice, and dominos! I was never REALLY into games until I met my husband. His family is always playing games and I quickly joined the fun. We frequently have game nights with the parents, siblings, kids, and the grandparents.

The beach is my happy place :)

My kids picked up that love quickly, and always want to go. Really anything outdoors, but we love us some sandy beaches!

I did not hire a birth photographer

My husband and I are so bummed we didn't end up hiring a birth photographer. I had our youngest before I truly decided I wanted to be a birth photographer, so I was uninformed and decided against it. Now I am blessed to document other's birth stories!

Teenage brothers walk goofily down a dirt road laughing and smiling during their summer photo session in Tacoma.

So...what's it actually like?


Let's Make Memories, One Click at a Time.



There won't be a lot of standing around smiling at the camera.
There won't be pressure for your kids to "behave."
There definitely won't be me asking everyone to say cheese.

I'll guide you the entire session.
We'll walk.
We'll play.
We'll laugh.
We'll take breaks when we need to.
We'll chase toddlers.
We'll be a little goofy.

Because the best smiles are the ones that happen naturally.

I'll guide you the entire time so you never have to wonder what to do.
And somewhere in the middle of all that...

Your favorite photos happen.

Testimonials
"Jessica absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. She worked so quickly and well with a semi cranky 1 year old. I expected to get maybe 5 good pictures… and here I am buying the entire gallery because there are so many good shots. Her editing is beautiful and enhanced the colors of the shoot so well. Absolutely recommend her!"

Testimonials
"Jessica has created lifelong memories I can look back and reminisce on! We’ve hired Jessica for multiple sessions and her work never ceases to amaze me. My favorite by far are the birth sessions she photographed for both of my babies and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made...We wanted to focus on labor and delivery, and not stress about how we’d capture these special moments in time. She made us feel so comfortable through the process. Her photos blew me away, and she always got the perfect shot"
