Hey. I'm
Jess
FAMILY AND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN BEDFORDSHIRE
mother to Rosie, Dottie and Winnie, Wife to Benj, lover of light with a heart for life's quiet corners
In my spare time, I’m usually with family and friends. They’re a big part of my world, and I love the simple joy of spending time together. When I’m not with them, you’ll often find me at our allotment or out walking in the woods. Being outdoors helps me slow down and notice the little details, which is something I carry into my photography. I’ve always loved making and designing things, and with a degree in illustration, creativity is woven into my everyday life. And whenever we can, we head to the sea. It’s my favourite place to switch off, breathe, and feel inspired.
For years, I was the one behind the camera, capturing everyone else’s story. Even those in my family. It wasn’t until I became a mother that I realised how often we step out of our own memories. We photograph the laughter, the milestones, the love, but rarely ourselves within it.
And yet, your presence is the heart of it all.
The way you hold your family, the softness, the small hands in yours.
They deserve to be remembered too.
I create space for you to feel seen, beautiful, and completely yourself,
capturing this season of your life with honesty, warmth, and timeless light.
This is more than photography. It’s preserving your story — with you in it.

Do we have anything in common? Send me a message to let me know.
I’ll let you in on something. I don’t love being in front of the camera either.
Like so many women, I can be quick to notice my own flaws. The things I would change. The insecurities we all quietly carry.
But when my children look at photographs of us together, they don’t see any of that.
They see their mum. The one who holds them. Laughs with them. Loves them completely. They do not see imperfections. They see connection.
And here’s the truth. Ten years ago, I probably had insecurities I can’t even remember now. Today, I look back and wish I had been kinder to myself. In ten years, I know I will feel the same about the woman I am right now. Your children will never care about the things you critique. They will only care that you were there. In the frame. In their memories. In their story.
So step in. Be present. Let’s create photographs they will treasure for a lifetime.
Your future self and your children will be so grateful you did.
