Let's get to know each other!

Hey guys, Jesy here!

I'm a Louisiana-based photographer who's always on the go. I picked up photography back in 2016 while I was a freshman in college. It all started by taking my friends' senior photos to make a little extra money while earning my degree.

I attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Biology. For the longest time, I felt like I was having an identity crisis. I was a creative girl who loved fashion, photography, modeling, and creating, but I also had a deep love for biology. I've always dreamed of working in conservation biology because I love animals, being out in nature, and protecting our wildlife.

After graduating in 2019, I spent four months traveling through Colorado and New Mexico researching prairie dogs. When I returned home, I still wasn't sure what came next. I wasn't ready for graduate school, I couldn't find a job that would pay my bills, and then COVID hit shortly after.

Through all of it, my camera never left my side. Photography was always my creative outlet—a place where I felt most like myself. I never imagined it could become a career until my incredible support system kept encouraging me to take the leap and pursue it full-time.

So here I am, six years later, living the dream and doing the damn thing.

I guess this is your reminder that life doesn't always follow the path you planned—and sometimes the detour ends up becoming exactly where you're meant to be. So here's to being a science-loving, creative nerd.

My Shooting Style

When I'm behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture your story as honestly as possible. The best photos aren't always perfectly posed—they're the ones that make you feel something. The quiet moments, the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears, and all of the little in-between moments that often become the most meaningful memories.

I'll guide you when you need it with prompts that create natural movement and genuine connection, but I never want you to feel like you're performing for the camera. My job is to create an environment where you can simply be yourselves while I document what unfolds naturally.

One of my favorite techniques is incorporating movement into my photos. A little bit of motion blur can capture the energy and emotion of a moment in a way that perfectly sharp images sometimes can't. It creates photographs that feel alive—like memories frozen in time. And don't worry, we'll absolutely get those crisp, timeless portraits too.

When it comes to editing, I believe your photos should stand the test of time. My style is warm, true to life, and inspired by the nostalgic feel of film, so your images will feel just as beautiful decades from now as they do today.
