I was always a sensitive, soulful little girl. I spent whole afternoons content just watching the sun filter through the trees. Lost endless hours happily studying the worlds within worlds inside every cloud & flower petal. Lived a thousand lifetimes mesmerized by the stars at night. I would sneak out on our roof and watch the country days roll by (my poor mother!), writing little poems about everything I could see, feeling God right beside me. My world was magical, breathtaking, alive (what a gift!). So when I turned 7 and my big brother gave me my very first camera - a sturdy, submersible yellow brick of film & flash, it transformed my life. Finally a tangible way to capture the beauty around me. I was tearing down dusty country roads on my sparkly pink bicycle, camera in hand. That abiding love for photography was further cultivated by the guidance of a kind & patient father-figure in my life who was a photographer himself (God's so funny). He gifted me with professional equipment & humored my endless inquisition (thank you, Chris Flood!). With the support of many, I took a wild chance & attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in 2010, where that lifelong passion transformed into Lovelight. We've been documenting love stories and life stories in Montana & across the country ever since. And it sure makes my heart happy! And I hope I've done right by that starry eyed little girl I used to be.  

Love, Jessica
