by Jessica Mann Photography
Women are the purest, most diverse extension of Mother Earth - each unique and special in her own way. Women are stillness and calm, softness and serenity, strength and bravery just the same. Women are the bearers of wisdom, the creators of peace, the lovers, the fighters, the dreamers and wildflowers... simply earth’s goddesses. A perfect symbiosis exuding light and beauty from within.
While motherhood is only one season in a woman’s life, it is one of earth’s most important pillars. Our golden, dreamy summer days. Children are the extension of our souls and the hope we create for the future. They are tiny little sparkles set out to explore the world. They are light and love continued. Teachers of humbleness, purity, and wonder in their own right.
I strongly believe in the power of womanhood and the light you carry within you. You are the masterpiece that fuels my vision. My creativity stems directly from your inner, eternal magic, and you, dear, are the fine art that embodies my photography.
My one wish is for you to place your trust in me and allow me to mirror the natural beauty I see in you and your children. There is no secret recipe other than my love for people and the desire to connect with them, with you, through photography. With an open mind, integrity, kindness, and acceptance - united in art meant to last a lifetime and more.

Welcome
DARLING.
Jessica is my absolute go-to photographer. Her work is flawless and you are guaranteed to leave her studio a satisfied customer. What is even more amazing is that Jessica is one of the most humble, caring human beings I have met to date. Her studio is cozy and well organised, she has props to fulfill your wildest dreams and will go out of her way to make your vision come reality. You can not go wrong with her as your photographer!
I felt absolutely comfortable during my maternity shoot with Jessica. She is super creative, has many ideas, knows great locations in the area and the dresses and accessories she has are stunning! I loved the atmosphere during the shoot and she always made sure that I felt comfortable and was safe.
Thank you so much!
Jessica was so warm and personable from the very first encounter. The studio was amazing and beautiful, with all the props needed to make any image burst with beauty and elegance. I immediately requested another session for the Mommy&Me. I am so in love with Jessica's ability to turn the ordinary into art. If you are looking for someone to go above and beyond on your pictures, Jessica is IT!
I can't recommend her enough. Her talent paired with her professionalism makes her stand out. She made me feel beautiful and comfortable with my pregnant body. The second I met her I felt at home right away. I have zero knowledge on how to pose and look pretty, but not only did she guide me on how to pose or express, she made me feel confident in my own skin! I can't wait for future shoots with her.
I don’t think I have words to express the talent that Jessica has. She can take any vision and make it extraordinary. Each session I have had with her has blown me away. I can’t wait to continue capturing moments with her!
If your looking for a photographer that can exceed your expectations this is the one!

The biggest and most heartfelt compliment i have every received from a client was "...people book you for your work, but they will come back, because of you!" I am a people-person, very empathic and I care deeply; my upmost goal is for you to be comfortable and at ease right from the start. My studio and home will always be a safe place for people of all kinds of colorful backgrounds and stories. Everything you share with me will stay in these walls.
I believe in kindness, acceptance, respect and honesty and I love to work for clients and women who can appreciate and value the same.
Philosophy
After photographing hundreds of portrait sessions over the past few years, I’ve found that "art is in the eye of the beholder". That’s why my process begins with a conversation and ideally an in person pre-consultation to figure out if i am the right fit for you.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about your wishes and my style, the details of your day and answer any questions you might have about working with me.
At the end of the meeting we will set your date (tentative for newborns) and i will send you my retainer request and session contract to sign.
LET's CONNECT
Once your date is reserved, the deposit paid and the contract signed, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session, should it not take place at the studio. If you're not sure about where you would like to take your photos but you have a general idea of the look you would like, just let me know because I would be happy to recommend a few locations based on your aesthetic!
A huge factor of my work depends on the perfect light. Please stay flexible on your session day should we have to work around weather, clouds or bright sun.
LOCATION
If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
Every client of mine gets free access to my exclusive client closet with couture and custom maternity gowns, accessories, fabrics and all things pretty! How fun is that?! We may have the fitting at our initial meeting or closer to your due date.
I am also always happy to offer styling advice for all motherhood and children sessions.
waRDROBE STYLING
It's finally here - your exciting session day!
We'll connect in the morning to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. If the weather doesn't look pleasant we will decide together on a rescheduled date. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location or meet at the studio on Moonhaven.
Please plan for your session to take about two hours from start to finish and a little longer for newborn sessions or if the session includes styling at the studio.
The SEssion
All images from our sessions are typically delivered within about three weeks of the shoot date via an online gallery.
Every image is fully hand edited with lots of love. You will now have the possibility to choose favorites for your digital and print products.

I offer a lifetime guarantee on all our products so you never have to worry about the quality of your investments fading over time! What a special way to remember this season you’re in!
KEEPSAKES
It is from the moment we begin discussing a session – your wishes and my ideas – through receiving the final photo products that you will feel and see the intimate detail, joy and passion that goes into every photograph I take. My heart and soul lies in working with and empowering women and i am excited to make you and your little ones shine!
I am looking forward to be your "day-off best friend" and ensure a successful and unforgettable photo session with beautiful memories captured.
