Portrait Photography 

Photos that feel like you, professional when you need polished and personal when you want heart.

Whether you need a professional headshot for your career, images that capture you in a season of your life, or family photos that capture life as it really is, I’ll create images that feel easy, natural, and aligned with who you are.

Headshots

In-Studio

Need something polished, simple, with a simple backdrop? My in-home studio offers flattering natural light and a calm environment where you’ll feel comfortable and guided. These sessions are quick, relaxed, and perfect for professionals who want portraits that are approachable yet elevated.

In-Studio portrait/headshot sessions begin at $195 +hst

On-Location

Want your portraits to tell a bigger story? I’ll come to your office, favorite café, or chosen backdrop in Toronto to create portraits with context and character. We’ll highlight not only how you look, but also the personality and story behind your work.

On-Location portrait sessions begin at $450+ hst

Family Portraits

Your family photos should not feel staged. They should feel like home. My documentary style sessions focus on capturing what life looks like right now: the laughter, the quiet, the chaos, and the love.

We will spend time together at home or in a meaningful location, letting moments unfold naturally. The result is a gallery of images you will treasure not because they are perfect, but because they are real.

If you are looking for a classic family portrait session with a handful of candid moments, I do offer seasonal sessions during the early Spring and during the fall in Toronto.

Family sessions begin at $450 +hst

“I want to share my experience with Jess. I'm usually not someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera, but the atmosphere Jess creates is so friendly and relaxed that you simply feel at ease the whole time. It's like having a pleasant conversation while being photographed.

The results? I absolutely loved my photos. But beyond that, I found someone incredibly kind, with a big heart, who understood exactly what I needed and adapted without a single complaint, always making sure I felt comfortable during the session and happy with the outcome.”

Jessica was excellent at capturing some amazing memories of my wife and puppy at Trinity Bellwoods Park in just a 30 minutes session. We had excellent communication with Jessica before and after the session, with clear alignment on expectations (which were fully met).
