Where is your studio located?
I’m based in Ocean Grove, NJ, just steps from the beach. I also photograph on-location throughout Monmouth County and the NYC metro area.
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes! I regularly travel for office team sessions, branding shoots, and events. Travel fees apply outside of the NJ/NYC metro area.
What should I wear?
I’ll send wardrobe guidance before your session. We’ll review what photographs well and what aligns with your brand.
I’m not comfortable on camera. Can you help with that?
Absolutely — that’s one of the things I’m most known for. My sessions are guided, low-pressure, and built around helping you feel like you.
Do you help with posing?
100%. You’ll be gently guided through every pose — nothing forced or awkward.
Do You Photograph
Events
Yes, including summits, leadership retreats, awards ceremonies, and team events. I offer discreet, documentary-style coverage that’s polished and professional.
Do you photograph corporate events?
Most events are delivered within 10 business days. If you need images sooner for press or social, I offer next-day sneak peeks.
How soon will we receive the images?
Working with Jess is a dream!
The biggest one aside for many personal projects was my book cover photo. With Jess’s help it came out far better than I could’ve ever imagined. I’m constantly getting complimented by the cover. Check it out for yourself,
So grateful to have Jess in my corner!
