I'm Jessica, do-er of all the things, lover of all the animals, and passionate about memories.
​
There's a lot to my story, but the truth is that I was blessed enough one day to be gifted a camera by my late mother. Life has been a wild ride and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that I've earned along the way, with many thanks to her. The best part about everything I've ever done is that my approach is the backbone that has gotten me to where I am and it speaks for itself.
​
The perfect combination of the work I put out and the popularity of people not only looking, but feeling their best in front of my camera has fueled my passion for photography. By sharing my passion, I've been able to watch the confidence and sense of self-love skyrocket in a number of people, especially women. Let's face it; we are complex creatures that tend to be our own worst critics and often need a boost of confidence.
​
I repeat, I'm truly grateful for everything that has come my way. The best part is that I absolutely love what I do and none of it seems like work to me. I believe that everything I've worked to accomplish stems from one place:
​
The time I've spent, people I have met, and experiences I've had looking through my lens at the beauty of each face that I find there.
​
That's it, in essence. When you don't find me with my camera in my hand, you'll most likely find me roaming some place in the world, creating memories of my own and spending as much time as I possibly can with my beautiful family.
​
We are given one life; live it, but don't forget to take photos along the way!

💕 LOOKING FOR LOVERS 💕

And I mean the really obnoxiously-in-love kind.
I’m working on something new for Beeden Photography and I’m looking for one couple to be part of an upcoming creative session.

I need the hand holders. The forehead kissers. The ones who sit on the same side of the booth. The couple who can’t walk past each other without a butt grab. The ones who still flirt with each other and genuinely like being in each other’s space.

You do NOT need to know how to pose or have any experience in front of a camera. In fact, I’d rather you didn’t.

What I do need is a couple who is comfortable being affectionate, playful, touchy and completely themselves together.

This is not first come, first served. I’m looking for a very specific fit for what I have planned, so I’ve put together a quick application.

If you read this and immediately thought, “Oh, that’s us,” I want to hear from you.

Applications are now open and the deadline to apply is 9/25/26:

Another senior session because this is just my life now at this time of year! 😂

I have been having SO much fun with my Class of 2027 seniors this year. Every single one has been completely different, which is exactly how it should be. Somehow they just keep making my job ridiculously easy. Remember senior photos in the 90's and early 2000's? We did NOT look like this! LOL!

Here are a few favorites from Hailey's session at the always so gorgeous Blithewold 🌾🪷🌼

Yesterday was such a good reminder that there really is room for all of us in this industry.

I got to trade branding sessions with two incredibly talented photographers visiting from Chattanooga, TN, and we had SO much fun perusing Chatham, MA. We hyped each other up, shared ideas, laughed a lot, and all walked away with fresh photos of ourselves that feel like us.

This is what community over competition looks like, and I’m here for it!

Also… being on the OTHER side of the camera is always a humbling experience. 😂 But I’m kind of obsessed with these, so here’s an obnoxious amount of my favorites from yesterday.

And because I already know someone is going to ask about the adorable pink cottage… This is Cape Coddage, one of those little Cape Cod gems you stumble across and immediately have to stop for. If you’re ever in the Chatham Main Street area, keep an eye out for it. It makes the PERFECT little backdrop for some photos, obviously! 🙃

My business relies solely on people choosing me.

There are a LOT of photographers out there. A lot of talented people you could choose to trust with your families, your milestones, your businesses and all the moments in between.

Every inquiry, every booking, every referral, every time someone comes back again... it means more than you realize.

My business literally exists because people choose me to do something I genuinely love doing.

So, thank you from the bottom of my grateful heart for choosing me. 🤎

Well, this was a first...
This sweet, tiny, baby blessing slept through her entire newborn session without a peep. We changed her outfit three times, did a diaper change, gave her a milky snack, tickled her piggies, and even tried a cool wipe to wake her up. She wasn't having it - way too cozy in Miss Jessica's studio! 🙂‍↔️

(She may or may not have kept her momma up the entire night before to pull this off, but...🙃)

For those of you that are new here, one thing about me is I will BEG you to bring your furry friends to the session and I WILL make space for the silliest of moments! I will always be obsessed with candids.

PS. No husbands were harmed in the making of these images 🤣

I have been absolutely inundated with senior sessions over the last month, which means I’ve been behind on posting them (as usual lol).

But I had to share one of my favorites from this senior season.

The beach has definitely been the place to be this year, but somehow no two sessions ever feel the same. Different light, different personalities, different energy.

A few favorites from her senior session 🤍

I’ve been dying to share this one!

Noah reached out because he was planning to propose to Morgan and this man had THOUGHTS. He wanted the perfect place, the right time, the right spot… he was taking this very seriously. When a man has a plan, he has a PLAN!

Sunday drives in his sports car are kinda their thing, and they'd been to Gooseberry Island together once before, so that’s where he decided he wanted to do it.

Funny backstory...

Morgan apparently already had a feeling a proposal was coming soon - to the point that she had a specific dress she wanted to be wearing when it happened (hello Type A lol). So obviously, when Noah told her to wear THAT dress for their Sunday drive, she definitely knew what was happening. She still had no idea where or when though! So while they were on their “Sunday drive,” I was waiting at Gooseberry with two people and a dog, trying to look like I absolutely was NOT waiting for two specific people to show up. I literally (politely) kicked two bicyclists out of the actual spot Noah chose to get on one knee, 5 minutes before they were about to come around the corner. They were super cool about it when I told them why I need that area of sand. 😂

Anyway, she said YES! And I absolutely loved being in on this little secret and getting to be part of such a special moment for them. ❤

Click through to see the sweetest progression from popping the question to soaking in being officially engaged!

We almost didn't get to do this session...

Our original location unexpectedly fell through, so on a wing and a prayer I reached out to The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum through every possible avenue. I called. I emailed. I even messaged both of their Instagram accounts. I was desperate and had zero shame in that moment.🤣

Meanwhile... I was already driving there because, as they say... sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. (Kidding... mostly. 😅)

Believe it or not, they replied to my DM within minutes and gave us the green light to shoot on the property. I was already 5 minutes way anyway, but.. lol

A HUGE thank you to everyone at Rotch-Jones-Duff for accommodating us on literally no notice and so graciously welcoming us onto the grounds... even with a Hamlet rehearsal happening that evening. 😂 You guys are seriously the best. I wish I knew the name of the woman who welcomed me - she was super sweet!

But anyway... it was 100% meant to be.

This beautiful young lady is celebrating her Quinceañera this fall, and if you know Quince's, you know they're nothing short of magical. Her theme is The Princess and the Frog, so this session absolutely had to feel royal. And if I do say so myself, we nailed it.

And before anyone comes for me about Ai... Yes, the frog is real... as real as old-school editing gets. That image was hand-edited by yours truly, not generated with Ai whatsoever. Every little detail was added manually because I happen to still very much prefer Photoshop when it comes to my work 🙂‍↕️
