Jess is an educator turned photographer
Her heart’s been in education for years, working in classrooms and projects in her
home country of New Zealand, and also Brazil, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Germany and Cambodia.
She champions the creativity and potential of children, and they feel comfortable around her
knowing she values them as individuals.
As Jess travelled for work,
she nurtured her growing interest and talent for photojournalism.
Her travel photos are testament to this,
and full of the richness and beauty of everyday life,
so easily overlooked.
Today
Jess’s award winning images of family life,
delight children who see themselves in
places they recognise,
with toys they love, and
with people they cherish.
Later
These same images offer children
a window into moments from a childhood
that went by faster than expected.
Over 100 families have trusted Jess to document their unique family moments.

The Simple Everyday
The honour of being invited into your home, is not one I take lightly
It isn’t always easy to have an outsider bear witness to your family life,
filled with all the joy, wonder… and that inevitable meltdown.
However, Jess’s caring and understanding nature, makes the time spent with her feel easy and relaxed.
