After training as a hypnobirthing teacher, I found myself wanting to get even closer to birth and motherhood. Creativity has always been a meaningful part of my life, so photography felt like a natural next step. It brings together my creative background with my deep passion for supporting women.
I worked in the creative industry for over a decade before becoming a holistic healing practitioner and hypnobirthing teacher. I have a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design with Honours from Massey University and completed the Photography Intensive Course at Whitecliffe.
PASSIONS
I am deeply passionate about art, photography, and visual storytelling. There is something so magical and soulful about film, and it brings me so much joy to capture these transformative stages of motherhood.
"Had the best time doing a newborn shoot with Jess! I did my maternity shoot with her too, so it was so nice having her back now baby is here. She came to our house in the morning and captured the light so beautifully, and not having to go anywhere made life so much easier with a one month old. I loved that she captured the little everyday moments of me and baby, the feeds, the cuddles, and in the spots we spend our days. It all felt so easy and natural. And the photos are perfect" — Jess "I will hold this dear to my heart for eternity. Thank you Jess, for the space, the holding and the vision you have for raw beauty and femininity, I am so lucky." — Iris "Doing a photoshoot with Jess was so incredibly stunning. Jess' attention to detail, love for what she does, and intuition are second to none. Although I feel like I'm not very photogenic, she made things easy and made me feel so at ease! So in love with the photos of myself and River." — Nikita "Jess is honestly amazing. Such a warm, talented person, and she made our first family photos feel so special. Highly, highly recommend." — Ana "Totally out of my comfort zone! Thank you, Jess, for capturing such a special time and bringing such a warm, calm, and loving energy! If you are thinking of capturing bump, birth, or baby photos, reach out to Jess. She's also running hypnobirthing sessions, which I can highly recommend! So grateful to be working with Jess through different modalities of this journey!" — Kirsty
