I’m the photographer you’ve been looking for.

Hi. I’m Jess

I like long walks on the beach and quiet candlelit dinners. Ok, that is all wonderful, but that’s not why you clicked, right? You want to know the real Jessica Waugh, because you know that really great professional photography starts with a really great trust between who’s in front of the lens and who’s behind it. So let’s be real. 

As a wife, mom of four, and entrepreneur, life can be crazy sometimes, beautifully crazy.  When you’re hustling to manage a family while building a business it can be easy to forget who you are, let alone visualize how your brand story could and should be told through photography. I get it. But even on the most chaotic days, the passion and drive within small business owners shines through and I love that I can use my own passion to help them see themselves for what they are and their business for what it could be – without the double chin. 

As an artist, I believe in photography with purpose.  Every shot is taken with intention and designed not just to capture a moment but to authentically tell a story. This is why I prefer to replace artificial poses in traditional settings with natural light and free movement. Life is not contrived, and your photos shouldn’t be either. 

I am very proud to be a woman, wife, momma, daughter, sister, auntie, friend and entrepreneur.  Those who wear many hats, have many shoes (you know, to co-ordinate).  I would be just as proud to be your photographer. 


Let’s get to know each other better.
