It's no
exaggeration when I say Jess has an eye for detail. Not even the
smallest hair is out of place in her shots. And her niche is newborns
and dogs... two of the hardest subjects to photograph if you ask me!
I actually dubbed her the baby whisperer because she is such a natural
with little ones. It was Jess who rocked my baby to sleep before
positioning her for the shoot, not me! She just seemed to have the
magic touch. And she gave me some tips before coming into her studio
which proved to be crucial advice to follow.
For example, Jess told me to keep my baby awake the entire morning
before the shoot so she would be extra tired and sleep more soundly
while working with her. This was hard, but I had my mother-in-law
with me the morning of, to help... we must have looked hilarious
dancing around, clapping our hands, making lots of noise trying to
keep my daughter awake. At that age babies want to sleep constantly
so this was a challenge, but I'm glad we did it because as soon as we
got to Jess' studio she fell into a deep sleep. Jess also told me to
pack several bottles so we had the option to put the baby into a
'milk coma' if need be. Once we got to her studio, she had the
room all warm and toasty with a big space heater going plus a noise
maker to drown out our whispers. While we sweated our arses off, my
baby slept through the shoot, which lasted almost 4 hours. That's the
other thing. I never felt rushed or like we were racing against the
clock. Jess will only take on one client per day and she reassured me
she would take all the time necessary to get the best shots, which
she did! Needless to say, I could not believe her level of knowledge
with babies considering she did not have any children of her own.
Truly amazing!! Not only is Jess a natural behind the camera with an
exceptional eye for the finest details, but a natural with babies for
sure!

Oh and one
more thing, I follow Jess on facebook and it looks as though she just
got married... well, big congrats to her! From the looks of her
