About
Multi-award-winning newborn & maternity photographer, capturing Lodi and the Central Valley's littlest moments for seventeen years.
Hi, I'm Jesica — award-winning newborn,
maternity & baby photographer
For seventeen years I've been photographing bellies and babies right here in Lodi — welcoming families from across the Central Valley, Sacramento, and the Bay Area into my studio.
What began as a love for keeping fleeting moments has grown into hundreds of five-star reviews and thousands of newborns gently posed, milestones celebrated, and families brought together in front of my lens. Timeless, softly-lit, and never rushed.
My studio is 3,000 square feet in the heart of downtown Lodi, built entirely around families — a private family lounge, a changing and feeding room, a playspace for older brothers and sisters, and every wrap, gown and prop already waiting. I can't wait to meet your family and keep these moments for you to hold onto.

The story behind the camera
A fun, quirky, and experienced photographer here to capture your growing family.
Everyone always asks how I got into photographing babies — and honestly, it wasn't something I'd planned. I actually went to school to be a nurse, and halfway through the program I realized it wasn't for me. Soon after, I got married, and two years later we had our first son.
As with many parents, everything he did warranted documentation — I have thousands of pictures from just his first year. Around the time I was expecting our second, my husband came home with a new shiny camera, and the journey began. That camera would be thirteen years old now; I no longer have it, but I credit it entirely for instilling my love of photography and launching me on this wonderful path.
We went on to have one more little one, bringing our count to three. Our home is always full of crazy and fun — and I wouldn't have it any other way.
