"My husband and I are so happy that we had Jessica take our son’s newborn pictures, the investment was absolutely worthwhile. We are beyond thrilled with how the pictures turned out, they are truly stunning. During the photo shoot Jessica made us and - most importantly - our newborn son feel comfortable. She has a gift working with babies! We are looking forward to going to her again for pictures of our son as he grows as well as newborn sessions for any future children."
