HiI'm Nessa!

Love notes

NESSA WAS AMAZING! SUPER SWEET ! SHE HAD SO MUCH PATIENCE & WAS SUCH A KIND UPLIFTING SPIRIT IT MADE TAKING PICTURES EASY. HONESTLY THOUGH NONE OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE MOOD FOR POSING ESPECIALLY MY 1 Y/O DAUGHTER. I DID NOT THINK WE WOULD HAVE ANY GOOD SHOTS BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. A WHOLE ALBUM OF GREAT PICS. SHOWS HOW GOOD SHE IS. I CAN’T WAIT TO USE HER AGAIN NEXT YEAR 🙂

Nessa captured exactly what I was looking for. I shared my vision with her and she delivered. I wanted something genuine and authentic and I couldn’t be happier. She’s also really patient and sweet with kids and animals which is a must have if you’re photographing families. Super responsive and understanding. Thank you Nessa for what you do and be ready for a yearly session with us.

Nessa is such an amazing photographer! She did my engagement shoot and a year later my maternity shoot. During my shoot she made me feel comfortable and confident. She takes her time carefully editing each photo and makes them look beautifully flawless. I can’t wait to work with her again!
