Jessica was born in Oregon and grew up in rural Ohio. Her first cameras were a friend's Polaroid and her dad's 35mm SLR - big camera's for a little girl's hands, but the images captured in those magical machines gave absolute inspiration to Jessica as she grew up and explored pockets of her environments making photographs of hidden gems and secret moments. Now back in a rural landscape of south western Pennsylvania, Jessica continues her exploration with a better connection to the land and the flora and fuana she cohabitates with.
