Sometimes Life Just Plain Sucks | Virginia Beach, VA

Jessica — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 20:05:24 +0000

Sometimes life just really, really sucks. Two Sundays ago, friends and clients, Katy and Adam lost their home in a house fire. I connected with Katy and Adam through the It Factor Job Club and then when I photographed them for their 6th anniversary in Williamsburg, VA. They were married near this inn and go there every year for their anniversary. We created a canvas collage for them from their images, but below is what’s left of it. However, thanks to the generous help of Simply Color Lab, my canvas company, we are getting them a new canvas cluster! While these might seem like the last thing necessary to rebuild your life and your personal space, they are critical to feeling normal again and having something familiar around you in trying times. These images will find an amazing new home with Katy and Adam in their rental home, while they are in the rebuilding phase.

Photographs are so important and you don’t really know how important until they are gone.

Katie and Chris | NYC

Sometimes we have experiences in our lives that embrace us, share with us and move us. To photograph a wedding is a truly intimate experience, one where you pop into someone’s life, charged with documenting what could be some of life’s most tender moments. You do this without knowing them, really. I met Katie and Chris for the first time an hour before their wedding. But, I felt like we had known each other much longer. I was moved by the warmth of friendship, music and love that surrounded Katie and Chris.

Emily and Alex are the children of local photographer Stacey Nykios. We headed up to the Chesapeake Arboretum to photograph these lovely kiddos. Alex was working on his best newsboy impression for me and showing me all sorts of little bugs he found. Emily was absolutely gorgeous in her hat and tutu! The hat comes from Flood Clothing and for the greenies out there it is made out of recycled t-shirts, sweaters and other fabrics. I met the designer when I was in Portland this past March.

Here you go!

Cheers,

Jess

{Out Of The Office}

Jessica — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:49:15 +0000

I will be out of the office June 6th through the 22nd. The th through the 13th I will be in Charlottesville, Virginia studying under the photographic icon, Larry Fink, and participating in the Look 3 Festival of the Photograph. Then it’s off to my hometown for a day, back to Chesapeake for three days and off to Tahoe to photograph a dear friend’s wedding (I’ll also be a bridesmaid…thankfully, there is photographic backup)!

Please feel free to email me and leave a message on my cell if you need anything, however, it may take a couple days for me to return your phone call depending on my schedule.

I hope you have a fabulous couple of weeks!

Cheers,

Jessica
