About the Photographer
Hi! Im Jess, photographer, owner, wife and Mom to two boys. I began my interest in photography in 2009 when I gifted my husband a Canon camera, which quickly became mine. I was soon captivated with the fundamentals that make up a great photograph including light, shadows, composition, and emotion. I have always loved working with children so combining the two has been my dream come true. I strive to create a story with my work and make you feel the love through every picture. Whatever the occasion, I am here to catch the magic before the moment passes.
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in Little Elephant Studio. I specialize in Maternity, Newborn, Milestones and Cake Smash Birthdays. I love getting to know my new clients. Finding out your likes and dislikes helps me create your unique set up. Personalizing each session to my client is my first priority. As a parent myself I know the stress of organizing the family before a session. I encourage each client to reach out to me for help with outfits, hair and make up. I have great local business I work with as well as some outfit choices in my client closet. After working with me I guarantee you will find that it was a fun, stress free experience.
