What I Enjoy About Photography:
The ability to create and be imaginative!

Jessica became interested in photography as a child after receiving a point & shoot camera. When she found out she could focus on photography as a career, she immediately set her sights on it! Jessica's work centers on fashion photography and she is currently studying photography at Columbia College in Chicago. You'll find Jessica photographing and spending time with friends in her free time.

Recent Comments from participants about Jessica:

Informative and pleasant!

Jessica was very patient.

Good experience and camera knowledge.

It was wonderful to have the personal instruction by a knowledgable leader. Questions war answered during the shoot and continued on the bus as we drove to the next location. Jessica, always made sure she stressed the "why" we were using specific the settings, which makes it much easier to remember and would let us know when some settings can be varied for different results.

Jessica in Chicago was motivational and very knowledgeable. I knew nothing about my Nikon 200 and now know enough to be dangerous. She is great!

Jessica could easily answer any question. From corrections to make when taking pictures to the menus on all different types of cameras.

Jessica was very patient and she allowed me the freedom to make mistakes. Then she was right there to offer constructive criticism that was easy to incorporate. She has a great personality too.

Jessica was friendly, helpful and constructive in the suggestions/critiques she offered. With her direction, I tried shots I wouldn't normally have done.

Jessica really took the time to explain which settings to use and why

Jessica was very knowledgeable and helpful! A little more attention would have been nice, though. I think we had 8 people in our group, which was a bit much.
