FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER BASED in GAINESVILLE, MO
traveling to Branson, Mountain Home, AR and beyond
You have made it to my website, and seriously, that thrills my soul! I hope you like what you see here and reach out so we can make magic together! I love creating it all; from senior sessions, dating, engagement, weddings, babies, kiddos, boudoir and all of the things! I love to make a session fun so you don't even realize we have run out of light and it is time to go home until it is time to work together again! Take a look around, and let's chat soon!
Thanks friend! ~Jessica
Hey! I'm Jessica!
Holy cow. I cannot believe you are here but man am I excited about it!!
I am a wife, mama, photographer and I run the day to day on our family farm! So many blessings in my life have come about through photography and the people I have met. As a mama, I feel it is so important to freeze moments and memories forever. Looking back through old photos always brings back so many memories for me. I can't wait to look at photos with my kiddos and relive these moments in our lives over and over again!
I am an Ozarks girl, born and raised. Growing up here definitely shaped me into the person I am, and I feel so lucky to still work here with the amazing people that also call this area home! We are so blessed by this beautiful country we live in, and I absolutely love how kind and caring everyone here is.
We live on our family farm and love getting to raise our family here! I am so excited to be here as I am able to serve the Branson, Gainesville, West Plains, Mountain Home and Springfield areas!
Bringing you beautiful images that will decorate your home for years to come is my passion. I love getting to know you and consider you a part of the family once you have worked with me. Let's have some fun, and sneak in a few photos while we're at it!
A Few Kind Words..
Jenny
We took our family photos on Jessica's beautiful family farm and there were tons of gorgeous backdrops. She made us feel so at ease. We had the best time with her and laughed so much it was easy to get great photos. My kids usually don't love getting their pictures taken but she managed to get amazing candid photos of them that I will cherish forever. She captured our family beautifully.

Jessica always does a great job with the kiddos! She has the patience of a saint and always keeps the shoots fun, even for mama, when it’s extra stressful. Just when you are sure there couldn’t have been any good pictures from your session because of your crazy kids, Jessica delivers the most precious shots! Will always recommend Jess!
Emily
Jessica is so sweet and so good at making you feel comfortable! I have loved all the pictures taken!
Audrey
Jessica photographed my wedding and did an amazing job! I was so happy with how all my photos turned out and she truly exceeded my expectations! I couldn’t imagine having anyone different there to capture my big day!
Valerie
Jess has been our family photographer for 7+ years now, ever since she did newborn pictures of our son. We love her laidback style and the way she can always bring out real smiles and feelings in our pictures. We keep using her year after year to capture our memories, and have recommended her to numerous family and friends!
Gina
This year was my first year having a professional photographer. I am a mom of twin girls and one of my daughters has special needs. Any outing with her can be stressful because there are so many things to consider such as wheelchair friendly, time of day, temperature etc. Jessica was absolutely amazing with my family. She made me feel so relaxed the entire time. Our family pictures were amazing!! I loved them!! This was the first year I sent out a Christmas card with multiple pictures from our photo shoot. I highly recommend using Jessica as your professional photographer. She does such a wonderful job!
