There, I said it. I could shout to the moon at how awesome his photography is and how incredibly talented he is which is all true. But the truth is that I've known him for years. (and still adore him!) Jesse took Emily's senior pics in 2009 and we've been a huge fan of his every since! He took Sarah's last year, he runs Mammoth Booth, http://mammothbooth.smugmug.com which I simply adore and am trying to figure out how to get one for my home.... and he just became a dad! He and his fabulous wife Cali just welcomed their son Henry into this world a week ago!
What I love most about Jesse is his integrity, his honesty, and his genuine nature. He is the real deal. I pretend like I'm his assistant when we are on a "shoot" (of my girls). I hold the camera while he switches lenses and I take photos of him taking photos.... because it's what assistants to right?! I'm thinking that I should have some water available for him because I don't want him passing out... especially if he is taking pics of my girls!!
Tonight we met in Ann Arbor. Lizzie knew she wanted to have some pics taken around the Law Library and her other request was for a photo in a street. We ended up going to 5 different locations around Ann Arbor! One area I had no idea existed! The following photos I took with my iPhone! So as you can see, I'm quite the professional!.... but seriously.... contact Jesse. You will not be disappointed! And if you are lucky, I'll have graduated to his assistant and I'll fix your hair, necklace or anything else!

We trekked around to different spots, Jessie did whatever was needed to get the right shot! We went out on floating docks that we wondered would if they would keep us above the water! We waved off bugs! No job was too big for us!
Senior photos take 2 will be happening in Kentucky in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for those!
Thank you Jesse for your talent and your friendship over the years! It's been so much fun watching you grow as a photographer and we look forward to more sessions with you!
