A single road trip to Utah two years ago changed my life. Since then, I have dedicated myself to capturing humans experiencing the great outdoors through photography. My photography conveys the idea that our lives are greatly enhanced by spending time outdoors. With a primary focus on destinations, adventure travel & lifestyle, I collaborate with a wide range of clients from all over the world to promote brand growth and elevated storytelling.

The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.

               by the roads less traveled & in honor of my advocacy for mindful travel, I tend to seek quieter places with fewer crowds and focus my work on lesser known mountains, roads, & trails. I deeply believe our lives are greatly enhanced when we find time to be with ourselves and with nature. 

MY WHY

Inspired

            Exploration opens our mind to new ways of thinking. Go on a hike, a long drive, or sleep under the stars. It's these mindful explorations in the great outdoors that inspire you to have fun, reflect, and create memorable experiences that will live for years to come.

02 — Our natural world is absolutely beautiful. Mountains, water, deserts, and sunsets. Their delicacy, strength, and resilience is something to learn from. Always seek the beauty and abundance everywhere you go, be respectful, practice gratitude, and be present in those simple moments.

Life is a rare opportunity and incredibly short. Don't let your life be restricted by anything. Live your version of a full life, however that looks like.

Mindful Explorations

“Working with Jessy was an absolute joy. She is a true professional and over delivers on her promises. From the planning stages to execution and then follow up, she was communicative, respectful and customer inspired. In regards to the actual content, Jessy was able to capture the true atmosphere and feeling of our cabin in Colorado. Her photos and videos were unique, gorgeous and repurposeful which is a must for us when partnering with a content creator. The images easily translate from listing to social media to website. I would highly recommend working with Jessy for your future projects.”

— Maddie, Host, Florissant Fishing Cabin 

"She is a true professional..."

"Jessica was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She took the time to educate herself on our brand and that knowledge was reflected in the content she produced for us, which I was more than happy to approve straight away with no amendments at all. Her communication throughout the process was fantastic, letting me know when the product had arrived as well as giving me accurate timelines on the deliverables. Content was sent over to me packaged professionally which made selecting my photos simple, and there was a wide range of photos produced showing the clothing from lots of angles.Already looking to work with Jessica again, couldn't recommend her enough."
