Hello, I'm Jess.
(She/Her)
Welcome to my vibrant world of photography! Based in Stow, Ohio, I share my life with my husband and our two energetic preschoolers. My passion for creativity extends beyond photography, as I thrive on creative freedom when designing backgrounds and sets for my photoshoots. You'll also find me crafting with my kids, and exploring the intricate art of embroidery, painting or sculpting. Gardening is also a big part of my life and a place where I find peace and inspiration amidst nature's vivid colors. I love planning the gardens, starting seeds, planting, cultivating, harvesting and best of all, teaching my children about the art and science of gardening, protecting pollinators and respecting nature.
Deeply committed to my community, I serve on several boards and a local commission, contributing to the town I love and call home. You’ll often find me capturing the spirit of local events around town. This blend of personal passions and community involvement enriches my photography, ensuring every image is infused with authenticity and warmth, telling stories that resonate.
At the core of my work is a deep commitment to inclusivity and diversity. Guided by the belief that love is love, I am dedicated to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. As a proud ally, I stand in support of the LGBTQIA+ community, the BLM movement, and women of all races and identities. I am especially attentive to creating a nurturing space for individuals on the spectrum. Celebrating the unique authenticity of every individual, it is my genuine privilege to capture your precious moments with warmth and respect.
Please feel welcome to contact me today so we can discuss and plan your special photo session.
With gratitude,
Jess Fishel McWilliams
