Introduction

My mission is to capture images that will evoke the emotion of the day whether it be a wedding or a family portrait session. I get so excited after the session, I can't wait to go home and start getting to work on the images. I post a blog within a day of the shoot and you have your images 1-2 weeks after! I give you plenty of images to pick from. My lifelong dream of becoming a photographer is finally a reality after attending Ringling College of Art and Design and receiving my bachelor's degree in Photography & Digital Imaging. I love meeting clients and hearing their story(because we all have one) and incorporating their personalities into the art of the photograph. I recently won Best of Weddings 2020,2021,2022,2023 for the KNOT and love doing weddings & portraits. * please only serious inquries*

Jessica was incredible! She reasoned quickly, met us on the scheduled day, and helped us plan beautiful pictures! Then, she provided them in a quick place for us to use in christmas gifts and cards. No suprise charges or extreme wait times like with previous photographers will definitely use her again.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • My home, venue, etc.

My fiancé and I used JVK photography for our engagement photos and were very happy with the photos. We had a difficult work schedule and she was able to work with us, and even reschedule due to weather. After the photo shoot we got our photos very fast, and they were beautiful. We got so many compliments, we are even thinking of using her for our wedding now as well.

Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I was in Florida for the month with my girlfriend (now fiancé) for school/vacation. I had plans for a beach sunset proposal but did not have a photographer booked yet. In my search for a quality photographer who had great reviews, and awesome work, I stumbled upon JVK photography. Jessica was a top rated pro on thumbtack which immediately drew my eye. In looking through her portfolio I loved the previous engagement/proposal work she had done and knew she would be the perfect photographer for my surprise proposal. She was super helpful throughout the entire process, helping me find a spectacular location as well as helping me with other details that I hadn’t even thought of. The pictures she was able to capture speaks for itself. She was able to capture the proposal and then worked with us for an hour taking amazing shots of my now fiancé and I with the gorgeous siesta beach sunset. Thank you so much Jessica! My fiancé and I are so glad we were able to book you!!

Details: Candid • Artful composition and lighting • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • The engagement photographer travels to me

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge a set fee for family or senior portrait session which includes an edited download Link of images
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet at your choice location and take an hour of photos in several different areas and different combos of family members. Within 24 hours I post a few photos from the photo session so you can share with family and friends. I start editing the very next day and work until I finish them. My turnaround time is usually 1/2 weeks where I will email you a download link of the edited images. Copyrights to the customer, of course to print the photos how you like.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design with a bachelors degree in Photography and Digital Imaging.
