She fell in love with photography when she was in high school and got asked to be on the year book committee. She started taking photos of sports games and people and since then, never stop doing so! Indeed, after she graduated, Jess continued to take photos of family and friends but pursued a degree in Accounting and Business Management. It was only in 2015 that Jess took the leap and opened up her photography business : ‘Soaring above the clouds on that flight over the ocean, walking the cobblestone streets. So cold we can see our breath as we hike the open fields in the fog. Climbing and chasing waterfalls while the sun sets behind the mountain and the snow falls in the river. Chatting with locals while we sip our coffee and head out for the next adventure.’ As a huge storyteller, Jess loves looking back on old photographs. Photographs of her family, her kids, grandparents, and parents : ‘Looking back on photos makes me reminisce and remember all those times. I want to be the one that captures peoples special moments and memories for them to look back on for years to come.’ «My interest in photography is not to capture an image I see or even have in my mind, but to explore the potential of moments I can only begin to imagine.» Lois Greenfield, American photographer of the human form in motion Have a good read!’
