BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Jessie

I often think of myself as an adventurer, a dreamer, a woman of courage and vulnerability.

As I get older, I still feel those things in my soul, but there is more.

I am a long-time creative business owner and photographer who is a mom to four beautiful children. I'm still learning to balance it all while enjoying the sweet and messy moments. I live in Wisconsin and love all aspects of the weather- even the cold.
