Family + Senior
Portrait Photographer

Serving Omaha, Bennington, Elkhorn and Nearby

Hi there! I'm Jess.

My goal is to capture you as you are, to illustrate what makes you, you. The images that we capture together will tell your unique story, and will supplement the photos and memories that you gather on your own in your day-to-day life.

My approach to portrait photography

I am inspired by humans, connection, and spontaneity, and aim to capture these details in my work. If you choose to book a high school senior session, outdoor family portraits, pet photography or professional headshots with me, you can expect minimal posing, natural lighting and simplicity.

"We absolutely loved working with Jess! She was personable and professional - very easy to get in touch with. The shoot itself was very relaxed and comfortable. Jess was open to ideas and also gave good guidance to make sure we had a variety of poses to choose from. We chose Jess because we were drawn to the warmth and light in her photos. The photos from our shoot came back with that same look, and we couldn't be more happy with them."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience with Sunnyheart Photography! At our original session Jess recommended a location that somehow included all of my many ideas. The location was perfect, and she knew it well. I enjoyed how she knew where we were headed, and took time to think of the best spots for me. She made sure my outfits looked right, the angles were perfect, and that my poses were natural. Jess is easy to talk to, and very funny. She kept us laughing throughout our shoot, and kept the experience very enjoyable. I am amazed by the locations she showed me, as I never knew about any of them. I was very impressed with the high quality of my pictures and my experience, and would go with her again in a heartbeat! I cannot recommend any one more professional and easy to get along with than Jess!"

"Jess went above and beyond in taking my senior’s photos. She met with us before hand to discuss outfits, interests, and locations.  She brought along a portable changing room to accommodate several changes. She made my senior very comfortable, provided suggestions, and took all kinds of photos. Jess is very creative! She even accommodated my six year old who was along, and snapped a few with her blowing dandelion seeds into one of the shots. When we were all done, she came over to help us select the final choices and she left us with the digital photos the same day! The photos turned out amazing, all of them look different, and we will really cherish these shots for years to come. She will be the only choice for my other kids when they also need senior photos over the next few years. I highly recommend her!"
