More about Jessica W....

What do you love about your job?

I love seeing my work out in the world helping businesses tell their stories and grow their sales and seeing a family use the photos I took for their holiday cards to send out. I think of it as an honor to be able to capture special moments for people.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have done commercial and editorial work, fashion and product, as well as portraits and weddings. I go in to each shoot regardless of subject with the same mindset and that is to capture images in an authentic and creative way. My goal is always to clearly express how the moment felt.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I have had work published 4 times in international magazines, including Selin, Scorpio Jin, and Roidx. I have shown work in gallery exhibits including a series titled "Perspectives" at the Crocker Art Museum, and I received awards for "Outstanding Achievement in Photography" at Sacramento State University in 2017 and 2018.

A fun fact about this photographer

I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and was a competitive dancer for 11 years. My childhood dream was to be a Radio City Rockette in New York City.
