The attention to detail of an award-winning photographer...

The experience of a mom & certified doula​


No matter how you choose to give birth or where you are in your parenting journey, these are the moments you'll want to remember long after they've grown.
Whether it's your first baby or your fifth, birth is an incredibly powerful moment and you'll want to be part of every minute. When you hire me to join your birth team, you're getting more than someone who will document the raw + sometimes graphic side of birth. You'll get 18 years of pregnancy, breastfeeding & parenting experience too. As a mom of 6, a photographer & a certified doula, you can be assured that I'll be there to capture all the details of your birth as it unfolds, along with the experience and extra support you might need. I'll be there 24/7 whether it's really baby time or just a false alarm. My commitment to you is to be personally invested in your birth, no matter how it unfolds.


let's document your birth story!

The Birth Of Cora Rosalie



St. Thomas Midtown | Nashville



"Jess is more than a photographer. She is now a friend. She was there for my family, during our baby’s birth. She helped care for my little ones, while still taking photos.

I’ve just received some of those “photos”... Blown away. They’re more than photos, They are moments. Raw and candid memories that captured the true emotion. Each one tells our story.

I cannot recommend her enough. Just stunning work and stunning person.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

"Ugh, my heart! You came into our lives in the most memorable time and witnessed and documented some of our most precious and cherished memories. You are so much more than our photographer to us, and you have a special place in our hearts. You are one of the kindest souls and the most genuinely kind person I have ever met. It's rare to find."

questions... and answers



are you allowed in hospitals?



Absolutely! Policy does change rapidly, but I stay up to date on visitor restrictions. Currently many area hospitals are allowing visitors and even siblings at births again!! I am also a certified doula, so even if visitor policy does change again, I would be allowed to support you during labor. If for any reason I cannot be there, your session fee will transfer to another session of your choice.



What if you miss my birth?



Missing a birth is really rare. During my on call time, I am never more than an hour from your birth location. I work closely with several fantastic area photographers in the event that I do need a back-up due to illness or an emergency. If your birth happens very quickly, I will still be on my way as soon as possible to capture those first few hours with your little one, and if I do miss the actual birth, I will offer another session in addition. ​



when do you suggest booking?



As soon as you get that positive!! I typically limit my birth schedule to 2 births each month. My schedule fills up quickly and I am often booking 7-9 months out. You can book your Birth Story as soon as you're ready, and if you would like to set up a registry for a baby shower or a payment plan that gives us time to do so.



Do you offer payment plans?



Yes!! I know that every family has a budget, and I'm happy to help you plan the best way to afford documenting your birth.


I offer monthly payment options and gift registries so that your friends and family can contribute to capturing this amazing time in your lives. (who needs 22 onesies anyway!!)
