WELCOME! I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE

Hello, My aim as a photographer is to capture every detail, from those long eyelashes to perfect little toes you are in the right place. It is so important to capture those precious moments, so as your photographer, it truly is my passion to provide you with gorgeous portraits of those fleeting moments we all cherish throughout our lives. That is why I custom style each individual session to accommodate your needs. No two sessions with me are alike except in their quality.

You will have a personalized photographer who can give you the one on one you deserve. We will discuss how to customize your session to be unique for your family. Providing a stress-free experience for you and your family is important to me. The only thing you need to worry about is bringing your little one over to their session and having fun. I have the outfits, props, and backdrops set and ready for your perfect session. You will be able to relax while I handle everything.

Maternity

maternity photography is a great way to capture this special time in your life.

Newborn

I encourage parents to schedule newborn portraits within the second trimester of pregnancy, as your baby is only a newborn for a few short weeks.

Milestones

I love creating baby portraits that you will treasure forever. I take time to plan every detail, ensuring your photos are what match your style and preferences.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"Jessica is a great photographer! She is a great communicator, fast getting your pictures back to you, unbelievably kind and she has been great to work with. She treated my daughter and was extremely patient with her. She doesn't rush your appointment and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with her work."

— Katie

"Jessica is excellent to work with! We waited to find out our baby's gender. So, when she arrived (earlier than expected even), I was panicking about not filing out the survey accurately and that my baby's pictures wouldn't be good. She gave me piece of mind and had me fill out the survey again. She is so patient and a joy to work with. She treats your little one like they are her own. I couldn't believe how fast we got our pictures back! Definitely will be signing up for the milestone grow up plan to continue working with her!"

— Rachel M.

"Choosing a newborn photographer can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be! Seriously, we cannot say enough good things about Jessica Payne Photography. She is the baby whisperer and was very attentive with our newborn. Her pictures are phenomenal, and she captured our sweet little baby perfectly! We will cherish these pictures always."

— Megan W.

"We had our son's newborn photos done by Jessica and could not be more thrilled with how they turned out! She was extremely accommodating with scheduling, quick to respond to any and all questions we had as well as getting the pictures to us quick after our session. She takes the time to ensure your little is comfortable, warm and relaxed the entire time. The whole experience was more than we could have hoped for. If you want a photographer that will not only take beautiful photos of your little but make the entire experience a beautiful one you won't forget no need to look any further. "

When should I book a newborn session?: I recommend booking during your second trimester. This way you can rest assure that your newborn photo shoot will occur within the 2 weeks of birth, the very best time to get the sweetest photographs! My calendar fills up quickly and I only take a limited number of newborns each month. It's never too early!
How do you plan a session date when due dates aren't for certain?: I pencil in due dates on my calendar and plan a range of a week before and after that time. Once baby arrives, I have parents contact me with the news. Then we set our official session date and time to fit within that optimal newborn window for the photographs.
What do I bring with me?: Just you and the baby!

I have all kinds of props, wraps, headbands, hats for both boys and girls in a range of colors. You don't have to bring anything unless you have certain items, you'd specifically like photographed.
What should I expect from my session?: Newborn sessions are relaxed and slow paced as I work around the needs of your baby. I allow for plenty of feedings if baby needs. Your baby's safety is my number one priority. I will handle your baby gently throughout and will not rush them at any time during the session. Not all babies are comfortable in every pose. Ideally 2-3 hours is how long a typical newborn session takes.
What is a milestone session?: A milestone session is for babies aged between 3 months to 12 months. The session focuses on capturing natural, timeless photographs of your baby. I provide a client closet for all my milestone babies that every mom/dad/grandparent can look through and pick your most favorite outfits.
