Remember What It felt like...

you?
Connection Comes First
Before we even start photographing, we focus on connection. I want to understand this moment in your life. Whether you’re embracing newborn snuggles, chasing little feet, or savoring the fleeting days when everyone still fits in your arms. Together, we’ll plan outfits, select the perfect location, and prepare in a way that feels effortless. This is about creating a space where your story, your emotions, and your relationships can be captured naturally, so you can remember what it truly felt like to be you.
Remember What It Feels Like...
to Let Go?
You don’t have to “perform” for the camera. This is about feeling, moving, and being yourself. I provide calm, intuitive prompts that encourage natural closeness and authentic emotion, never forcing anything that doesn’t feel real. Expect twirling dresses, messy hugs, golden light, and moments of laughter or happy tears. The session is designed to flow effortlessly, capturing the magic of your relationships and the joy of simply being together.
Gentle Guidance, Real Emotion

to See Yourself?
Within 2–3 weeks, you’ll receive an online gallery filled with editorial-style images that tell your story with softness and soul. Each photograph is carefully hand-edited with timeless tones. No heavy filters, no fleeting trends — just the real, beautiful you. This collection is designed to be returned to again and again, preserving the moments, emotions, and connections that make this season of your life unforgettable.
A Gallery That Feels Like You
“Absolutely LOVED working with Jessie! ”
She is so sweet and kind, and made us all feel super comfortable and relaxed during our session. She’s so wonderful with the kids and was able to make it stress free on us parents too! The pictures are amazing and she was able to provide us with memories that will last forever!

" I can’t say enough good things about, Jessie! Our experience with her was wonderful, and her work speaks for itself.”
She made us all feel so at ease, making the experience comfortable for everyone. She was able to capture us as we were, and the joy we had that day really shines through in the photos. She’s just great to work with. Really personable, great with the kids, and all around fun! We had a great time, and the pictures we have now are ones that our families will cherish.

Where are your Photo Sessions Held
Jessie Alaura Studios is located in Door County and Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I do also travel for sessions around the world. I find myself often in St Paul and Minneapolis where I utilize some of the many beautiful studios there.
How far in advance do you schedule?
It is really important to me to control the number of clients that I accept at any given time so that I can dedicate a lot more time, effort, energy, and all of my creativity into each client.
I only book 6 sessions per month in the summer months and 8 sessions per month in the fall and winter months.
I recommend booking your session 2-4 months in advance.
Will you be posting my photos?
While it certainly benefits my business to post the photos that I am proud of, I will never post images that a client prefers stay private. I also am quite willing to posting images that are anonymous.
