My philosophy

Here for dreamy photos?

Me too.

It's as simple as passion. From the first time I held a camera, mixed solution to develop a photo and experienced the phenomena of watching an image appear on that blank 8x10 canvas, there was no going back.

Passion to passionate....I am here today to give you the session and photos of a lifetime. From engagement to your wedding day, announcing you are expecting,  documenting your baby's birth to first birthday, graduating high school and beyond...I am here to document your moments with meaningful intention and the hopes of a lifelong relationship with you.

Jessica is wonderful.  My daughter loved her session and had the best time. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.  Her pictures are stunning.  She is beyond talented.  We couldn’t be happier.

Gorgeous photos, wonderful experience with Jessica! My daughter’s new born photos were done in the comfort of my own home and turned out beautiful. Jessica was patient and kind throughout the entire experience. She got my 2 year old son smiling and having fun! Fast forward 2 years later and we did fall photos with Jessica. My daughter cried the entire time and Jessica was patient and kept us going with ease. Despite my daughter not cooperating the photos turned out gorgeous and you couldn’t tell how it actually went.  I have recommended Jessica to everyone I know and will continue too!! Couldn’t recommend enough!!

The whole Elgin Doula team absolutely LOVED working with Jessica. She helped me find a great location, was easy to book with, and great day of. I’ve done branding sessions before, but the photographer often didn’t give much direction. Jessica told us exactly what to do for great lighting, good angles, perfect team shots. Highly recommend working with her! We’ll definitely be hiring her at least every year for our practice photos.

Jessica was so easy going and fun to work with! She had a lot of great ideas for my branding session and I couldn't be happier with how the photos and videos turned out. Also her pricing was very fair, which was just the cherry on top. Will definitely be using her in the future!

Jessica came to do a newborn/family session for us. We had two photographers who had to cancel due to sickness and Jessica was beyond helpful coming last minute the following day I reached out. Not only did she show up and do an amazing job, she was such a joy to get to know and chat with. I truly believe that God works everything out how it is supposed to be, and her photographing my little one and family was truly a blessing. She got us sneak peeks the same evening and had us our gallery within the week. My two little girls even ran up to hug her as she was leaving, which was so sweet and says a lot about what a special person she truly is. And did I mention how absolutely beautiful our pictures turned out?! They were so much more than I expected and her talents as a photographer really show in her work. We will use Jessica again in the future!

Jessica did a shoot with our family for Valentine’s Day a couple of weeks ago and the photos turned out perfect. She is the absolute sweetest person! She was able to wrangle my 3 year old son and had the patience of a saint, haha. Her turn around time for all the photos was the fastest and most impressive we have ever had. She provided sneak peeks the day of our shoot as well. I cannot recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed!

I am so lucky that I found her page on Instagram. Not only was she super responsive. She’s also super pleasant to work with. She made everything so effortless for us. She’s able to do in-home newborn sessions, which takes a huge burden off of New parents! Not only does she bring an outfit to choose from for your newborn. She also brings outfits for the mom to pick out, what more could a  new mom ask for!!? Her turnover on editing the pictures and giving them back also has been so prompt and the pictures came out SO GOOD, she made my vision come true, and more!! I can’t wait to use her again for future shoots!

I am not a fan of getting my picture taken and am very self conscious and was very nervous about the photo session but Jessica Wilson Photo was so encouraging and made the whole process and environment easy and comfortable. She made me feel better about being in front of the camera and the final product was just so beautiful I cried. Capturing memories is so important to me and she got that and made sure to get the genuine laughs and love showing in every picture!

Jessica is so many things you would want a photographer to be! Especially if you are looking for a birth photographer, which I would highly recommend; choosing a photographer for such an intimate and life changing moment is not easy, but once I saw Jessica's work, we knew she was the one! She brings her faith into the space and her work, which reflects in the outcome.

From the first phone call, she was so professional while being very personable and explained everything. She made sure to ask what our hopes and vision were for this incredible moment. She is very willing to work with you to make sure your both on the same page.

We got to meet in person before the day of so she is prepared when it is the big moment. From the small, but very important details like the drive over, and where to park; she made sure to plan ahead.

Fast forward to day of, she was on it and even decided to take a drive to be closer just in case labor was quick! Early labor fizzled out and I ended up going to sleep. Fast forward 3 hours and I woke up to contractions. From there active labor went super fast and again, Jessica was on it getting over as quickly as possible. She is a doula also and communicated with my doula to make suggestions for my labor to slow down slightly so she could make it to capture the big moment like we wanted.

She got so many amazing shots for us and we are forever grateful for her vision of our daughters birth! We ended up getting a video also and she was so great with a few requests we had on minor tweaks. We absolutely love the memories we have thanks to Jessica! 10000/10!
