Hi there, I’m Jess!

I am a wife, mama, and creative entrepreneur. My heart is for you to have images of your everyday. I want you to see the beauty in the mundane and to live with intention and purpose.

I want to empower you take images that you are in love with, that have value, and that tell your family’s story.

No one else is going to take these pictures for you. No one else knows what little details you cherish most or which moments are most precious to you.

Let’s do this.

Hey, Friend, I’m Shea!

I'm a work-at-home mama of two, married to the love of my life, Jeremy, and forever trying to survive the "dry heat" out here in sunny Arizona! One of my greatest passions in life is being creative and photography is a major way I like to express it!

As an entrepreneur I understand the importance of having beautiful images for your brand! I want you to be fully capable and feel confident in creating incredible content for your business and I'm thrilled to be guiding you on the beginning of your journey!

Here we go!
