About Me...The Photographer
My name is Jessica, I'm 31 years old and ever since I can remember, I loved playing with a camera. I remember when I was around 6 years old, I would go to a friend's house and they had a box full of old cameras that did not work anymore. They saved the cameras for the children to play with and I always found myself playing with them. As I got older, I remember always asking for a camera for Christmas and I was always taking pictures as I was able to. Over the last few years now as an adult, I have found that my habit for taking pictures had not changed one bit. As I have become older, my eye for photography has matured and I have found myself always taking a picture of anything that is just beautiful or picture worthy. I have always found so much beauty in God's creation in nature and have always found inspiration in a sunset, sunrise, a well lit up sky or even a storm cloud. In the last couple of years, I have started to find that God's creation in people can be just as inspiring. Yes, people are inspiring and when I meet someone who is inspiring and who catches my eye as someone who makes a difference, I want to take their picture and capture that inspiration.
There is so much inspiration all around us, it is important to me to capture it, share it with people and inspire others to make a difference somehow.
My interest and passion in art, does not just consist of music, which I must confess is my ultimate passion, but it lies within the area Photography as well. I have been told on numerous occasion that I have an eye for photography and it is my heart's desire to use that eye/gift/talent for the Lord.
When I am not taking pictures, I am busy as a single mother. I have a 9 year old son named Dalton, he is the sunshine in my life and I must admit that he is one of my greatest photo subjects. I love to practice on him. As a single mother, I work part time at the moment and when I'm not working, I am busy with church activities, with music and doing anything and everything to serve the Lord and those around me. I guess, I must confess that my ultimate passion in life is to work with teenagers. I have such a huge heart for them and especially for the ones who struggle and have no support or love system in their lives. I too was a troubled teenager, hurting and struggling with issues that I was forced to face on my own. It is from a past of heartache and pain that drives me to love the teenagers that I come in contact with. It is my mission to make a difference in their life in anyway I can.
Please, enjoy the pictures that I post and if you would like for me to capture a family portrait, a photo shoot of any occasion, I am more than willing and able to. I am not a professional by no means, but I am privileged to be able to take anybody's picture and capture their source of inspiration. Thank you for allowing me to share my passion with you and sharing along this adventure with me as I grow and mature in my God given talents and abilities.
