Wow Jess, you’re thanking me?!?! I can not thank YOU enough. Once again you leave me teary eyed after looking at family pictures you’ve taken for us. I SO needed to see these today it just made me so happy and lifted my spirits. There is no one else I would ever ask to do our family pictures! I love you as a photographer and friend!!! Thank you, thank you xoxoxo

Amazing photos Jess, you have captured the essence of my grandchilden, daughter and son-in-law. Christina always talks so highly of your work and now I see why! I especially love the pictures of the whole family at the lake kneeling down. You’ve caught the smile on Rich’s face as he’s turning to look at Jake. I can see the love in his eyes for Jacob. Thank you for sharing, the pictures are beautiful!

Jess, these are great pictures! What a blessing to have such a special friendship from the workshop!! Christina has a beautiful family and you definitely captured them and their love for each other.

Your mom and sis did such an amazing job!! Do you have any pictures of the gifts? If I am this upset about not being able to be there for the shower, I’m going to be a basket case at missing so much of his early growth that happens soooo fast! I love you, Mom

Mickey Seiler

Wow, your shower looks amazing. Great photos!

Lorelei

We had such a great time celebrating with you. Thank you for including me and the pictures are great as usual. And I love the lip balm, I just put some on. Wishing you a fast and easy delivery and can’t wait to meet your little boy.
