Hallelujahs from JSP Partnters
"Working with Jes was amazing. She claims she has the best job in the world -- and the enthusiasm, sense of humor, and incredibly positive presence that she brings to her work leaves no reason to doubt that claim. I felt instantly at ease around her, and left the shoot feeling radiant -- arguably the best possible outcome for a body-positive shoot. Her photos transfigure unflinching realism into absolute beauty, perfectly embodying the goals of The Body Project. It was an honor and an unparalleled pleasure to work with Jes and be a part of this project, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."

"I've always thought Jes was an amazing photographer and love the statements her photographs make, so i jumped at the opportunity to be part of the body images project. The shoot with her was comfortable, fun, hilarious, therapeutic, and just all around amazing! One of my favorite things about shooting with jes is she's not afraid to get down 'n dirty, in crazy positions, and up in your face...with the camera. And she sincerely thinks and knows you are magnificent...her encouragement and belief in you emanates from her (which is one of the MANY qualities that make her a gorgeous and inspiring person). I left my session feeling confident, beautiful, and loved (by Jes and me!)."

"Jes has a creative mind that loves to play. Her effervescent nature makes her a fabulous portrait photographer - she connects so well with her subjects and allows them to show themselves honestly. Jes' work is accessible, meaningful, and beautiful. You could not ask for a better photographer to shoot your wedding, booty, body, or face."

"Jes is one of the most relatable people! She never makes you feel uncomfortable infront of the camera. She always lightens the mood when you are a little camera shy or self conscious of how you look. No matter what she always makes you look amazing! She rolls around on the ground, climb on things and is not afraid to get dirty for the perfect shot. Jes adds excitement to everything!
I had the delight to be one of her first subjects 6 years ago. After a really hard breakup, she took me out right after a rain storm and make me look as if I had not be crying for a week. There was something so magical about the props of a dozen massive red ballons she brought and the release of them as if I was releasing my relationship woes.
She was also the only person I trusted in taking my engagement and wedding photos 3 years later. Feeling beautiful is never a hard thing when you are around her, she finds beauty in everything and captures it for you to have for a lifetime. When I look back on all the photos she has taken of me over the years, I always smile and remember just how great I felt at that moment and try to relive that feeling for at least the day (even on the worst of days!)

"After meeting with many photographers we were beginning to worry that we wouldn't be able to find anyone to capture our day the way we envisioned. But meeting with Jes made us feel that everything was going to work out just the way we needed. Our wedding day was beautifully photographed and we appreciated her professionalism, enthusiasm, and flexibility."
