Hi there, I’m Jess.
I’ve always been drawn to creativity. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of crafting quirky little projects out of odds and ends with my Nan or getting lost in drawing and painting. Teachers and family would often say, “You’re so creative, so artistic.” I embraced that encouragement, but I struggled to find the one outlet that truly ignited my passion.
That all changed in my early 20s when I purchased my first digital camera. At first, it was just a hobby—I’d snap photos of food or my friends—but something about it felt different. It stuck with me.
In my late 20s, I left my hometown on the Central Coast and moved to the Penrith area, ready for a fresh start. After settling in, I poured my heart into photography, completing multiple courses that gave me the confidence to turn my passion into a business.
When I launched my photography business between 2015 and 2017, I was overwhelmed by the response. Clients sought me out for candid family sessions and intimate weddings, and I was honoured to travel across Australia—from Melbourne to Adelaide to rural NSW—to capture their stories.
In 2018, I made the tough decision to step back from my business to care for my mum, who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. After she passed, I took some time to focus on family. In 2019, my husband and I welcomed our first daughter, Phoebe, into the world.
Now, with Phoebe thriving in her routines and the recent addition of our second daughter, Penelope, life feels fuller than ever. My husband has found his stride in a new career, and I’ve felt the pull to pick up my camera again—longing to document life’s fleeting, beautiful moments.
My approach to photography is inspired by natural light, rich, organic colours, and the genuine emotions that connect us. I specialise in capturing the “in-between” moments—the glances, the laughter, the quiet connections that make life extraordinary.
I don’t believe in stiff poses or staged perfection. Life isn’t an editorial shoot, and most of us aren’t models—that’s what makes our stories so authentic and beautiful. To me, it’s about getting to know you, understanding your unique story, and creating images that feel personal and timeless.
