mom and dad snuggle kiddos outside by Austin family photographer

Let’s be honest: booking family photos is A LOT. Outfits, getting everyone out the door, hoping no one melts down.

That’s why I created Mini Sessions for Moms.

I only shoot minis, and I’ve built the entire experience to be simple, quick, and actually enjoyable.

You just show up, and I’ll do the rest.

Hi, I’m Jessie. I’ve had a camera in my hand for so long it feels like part of me now. I used to be a full-time photographer, but after becoming a mom (during COVID no less—what a time), everything shifted.

I now run a virtual assistant agency helping other photographers run the behind-the-scenes of their businesses, but I never stopped documenting my life personally.

Motherhood changed how I see time. Suddenly, I am hyper-aware of how fast everything moves. I sit on the couch after bedtime, scrolling through baby photos with that weird ache in my chest—missing their little voices, the goofy expressions, the soft curls. It all changes so fast, doesn’t it?

a little more about me:

I’m married to my best friend (I know, cheesy, but it’s true). I’m a mom of two toddlers, powered by iced coffee, Siri reminders, and Google Calendar. I’m a big Swiftie, love traveling, and believe a good patio cocktail can fix just about anything.
