*Note from Becky: I was deeply touched by Jessica’s post about why she is a photographer. You will be too. And you can read it here on here blog. Jessica, thank you for having the courage to share your story, which will undoubtedly bless each person who reads it.
Hurray! I have been waiting for a St. George photographer! I would love photos of my family this summer – it is such a busy time in our lives, I’m afraid it will go by too fast without capturing it! My husband & I have 4 kids: 3 girls & a new 6 month old baby boy. My husband is just finishing his masters degree & I am am going back to school to get my bachelors, plus we both work, serve & play hard!
Thank you for sharing your story on your blog. My brother & his wife lost their baby boy last fall & I know how much they treasure the photos they had taken of him during the precious few hours thay had with him. Our little boys were born just a few weeks apart. They were supposed to grow up being best friends & cousins, but like you said, their lucky little boy is perfect – too perfect for this world. I can’t look at my own son without being reminded of my sweet nephew in heaven. He is our reason to live well!
Thanks for the chance to enter!
Jessica!
You have a very touching and powerful story to tell. My name is Misti and I live in New York right now. My husband just got a job in Las Vegas and so he is there and I am here in NY for now until the house is fixed up and on the market. I to, am a Photographer, but the reason why I enter this is because of this very question: Who takes the Photographers pictures?! I have family in St. George and so I will be visiting and so I thought this would be perfect. I am scheduled to be reunited with my sweet husband at the end of this summer. I cant wait! And so, this is why I am entering =)
I’d love to enter this one. I actually live in Vegas but it would lovely to have our photos done somewhere else instead of all the regular places around here. We’d be up for the drive and know many in the area that we can recommend this lovely photographer to. Crossing my fingers!!!!
My sister’s sister-in-law just adopted a beautiful baby girl–a whirlwind adoption, just like their little boy three years ago. They would love some new family pictures with this teeny tiny addition.

Yay!!!! Finally, someone where I live. We would LOVE to have new family pictures taken. We have added another little guy to our family since the last one – we have all boys and the only time i can get them to cooperate for pictures is if someone else does them.
I would love to have the change to have my family photos done.
I have 2 boys and 1 girl.
My little girl was recently diagnosed with autism.
It is a tough thing to try and get family photos done and that makes me sad.
My kids have the most beautiful relationship and I want to be able to remember this time in our lives forever.
Thanks!
I would love to win this. I am single and have no children but I would love to have pictures of my parents (and maybe even me). They don’t like to have pictures taken but I cherish the pictures I have of my grandparents who are gone now) and I would like to make sure my nieces and nephews have pictures of their grandparents. Thanks for doing this.
Jessica,
I’m so excited about this! I’m from St. George and currently live in Cedar City…my family lives there as well so any of us could benefit from this! My baby is 15 months old and we don’t have a good current picture of all 3 of us. This would be fun to do! Thank you for donating your time and talents for this giveaway!
Jessica,
What a beautiful family and beautiful pictures! I live in St. George and I have actually been looking for a new photographer to do some pictures for us this summer. I have 2 boys (4 and 2) and a little girl on the way! I want to get some pictures of Jack and Noah together and then a few of our family while I’m still pregnant. I am so grateful for your willingness to do this! Thanks you!
Holly!! I think I misplaced your email you sent me… It’s been a bit of a whirlwind at my house in the last few weeks! I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find it! Email me back, please!! Ü

Hey Jessica! I of course love your photography…you are SO talented! We took family pictures about a year ago when Brandon was still bald from Chemo and my husbands oldest son wasn’t living with us. I would love a family picture with the whole fam and one where Brandon won’t complain about me showing it because he now has hair!
See ya!!!
Jessica,
Becky was right. Nobody could read your story about why you became a photographer and not be touched.
Our family has grown in a way we’ve always hoped for, but never really expected. Just last month my husband got to meet his oldest daughter for the first time. He was a very different person 18 years ago when she was born and understands why her mom decided to ask him to stay away, but he always hoped that he would some day be a part of her life. He finally got an email that she wanted to get in touch with him and we have enjoyed every minute since then that we have been able to spend with her. I think it would be wonderful for both of them to have pictures taken together and for us to have a family picture that finally includes the whole family.
I will drive from Las Vegas to have this photographer!
Thank you for sharing that powerful story….my heart breaks for you. You are so talented and Im sure your sweet little boy is watching down on you and is so proud of you for being so strong. Thank you for sharing your talent!
I have 4 kids and no family picture in 4 years and no pics of my 2 little girls….I would love to win!!!
I don’t know if I can still enter but it is worth a try! I love your art and would love to have family pics of my little family! Thanks for sharing your talent!
I would love a new family picture.
Thanks!
You have a very touching story. Thanks for the sharing your talent.
My name is Kjersten, I am married and have 4 kids 1 boy and 3 girls the last time we had a family picture done was when I only had 2 kids 9 years ago. It is definitely time to do something about that. Thanks for the chance to win.
