Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

I began working with Jess in 2019, mostly wanting pictures of my dogs and some of me with my dogs. I’ve never been comfortable in front of the camera, but working with Jess is so easy I forgot all about “not wanting my picture taken”. At this point I’ve lost count of the number of times Jess has taken my picture, I’ve done things I never thought I’d do in front of a camera and I’m ALWAYS so in love with the outcome. I'm continually amazed at Jess’ talent and when she sends my photos I always hear myself saying, that’s ME?! I don’t know how she does it, but she is always able to capture personality and connection through her photos. I’d recommend Jess over and over again; her personality, her...

Jess is incredible to work with. She makes those who tend to be uncomfortable in front of a camera feel at ease. Every picture perfectly captured my daughter’s personality. I loved that she payed special attention to the lighting and had such a great sense of her surroundings. She clearly loves what she does. Do not hesitate to book your appointment now!

In the last two years my daughter has had college grad pictures, engagement photos, wedding photos and maternity photos, taken by all different photographers in both RI & VT. Her response to Jess’s winter minis was- “I can’t decide which to print, these are the best photos we’ve ever had taken.” Jess has a way of putting people at ease and feel comfortable in front of the camera and that shows in every single photo! Thank you Jess!

Jess is a wonderful photographer! She captured my son in his senior pictures perfectly. We had so much fun during the session. I loved listening to them talk and laugh through the whole thing. She put him at ease so he could be himself and Jess could capture perfect moments. If you want an amazing photographer who makes you feel comfortable, laughs with you and captures the perfect photo I HIGHLY recommend JVO Photography!!

There isn’t a high enough rating for Jess!! From the second we got there she made us feel comfortable, took the time to hear about who we were as a couple and went above and beyond the whole time. She allowed us to be our true selves and captured our love in a way I couldn’t even imagine or describe! Jess is pure magic behind the camera, and her passion and kindness is contagious during the whole shoot. We left there feeling like we just had the most amazing date night. 100% recommend Jess!
