Meet Jess!
Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a mother of two wonderful boys, the wife to a United States Marine and a self taught photographer. I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts but now reside in Northern Virginia where I continue to pursue my passion of photography. I am a natural light photographer focusing on couples, maternity, children and families. This has been a huge passion of mine since I was young. It is my art, my therapy, my happy place. Creating memories for others is a way of expressing myself. It is how I find common ground and connect with others. After many years and family albums later I decided to make it more than just a hobby. About four years ago I decided to start my small business: Memories by Jess. Memories are priceless and I am a strong believer that the best part of a memory is making it. At the end of the day all that is left is the memories we've created. Those will last a lifetime. ROAD TRIPS AND NEW ADVENTURES ARE KIND OF MY THING!
