Gutzman

I’m Jess. Photographer, chaos wrangler, snack holder, and usually the loudest one in the room. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and somehow I still get butterflies every time I pick up my camera. That’s how I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

 

I’m married to the most patient man on the planet who cheers me on even when I’m losing my mind and buried in editing. We’ve got three daughters who are all wildly different and wildly amazing. They’re my reason and my reminder that the messy moments matter most.

 

When I’m not shooting or editing, I’m probably watching something dramatic on Netflix, buying another notebook I don’t need, or chasing a new idea that’ll somehow turn into a full-blown project. I don’t do chill, but I do love what I do.

 

Here’s the thing—photos aren’t just for looking pretty. They’re for remembering. Your baby’s crooked smile, your senior’s laugh, the way you held each other when it felt like time stood still. That’s what I’m after. The real stuff. The in-between stuff. The stuff that makes you feel something when you look back.

 

If you’re looking for perfect poses and Pinterest pressure, I’m probably not your girl. But if you want photos that feel like you, that tell your story the way it actually happened, I got you.

 

Let’s make something real.

— Jess
