I'm Jess Jakubowski - Just a girl with a camera living out her dream. I live in Chicago, BUT I am lucky enough to service couples worldwide. Traveling is my second passion. (I don't have to tell you what the first is, right?)

I am inspired by the authenticity of your love, devoted to telling your story through passion and creativity.

"Easily one of the best photographers we've ever worked with. Her creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism made wedding photos a breeze. She's captured so many special moments in our life & we recommend her to anyone who wants a memorable photography experience."

The best photographer me and my husband could’ve asked for. Not once did she ever make us feel uncomfortable. She was super attentive and prepared and always in communication."

Jess made me feel comfortable and did an awesome job at directing us. We work during the day and she was flexible with our schedule, which we really appreciated. She also had a quick turnaround for our photos and we were more than impressed with how beautiful they turned out. Friends and family kept commenting that our pictures looked like they were from a magazine.

As we were traveling from Ireland for our wedding, Jess was super helpful as a contact in Chicago to help us organize everything - she went above and beyond for us to have an amazing day. And that's before she even started taking pictures which were also fabulous. We were so happy to have found her and loved her photography style. 100% recommend.

I was so hesitant to do this shoot because I thought to myself...I'm simply not photogenic anymore (aging crisis maybe?) IMMEDIATELY Jessica made me feel comfortable. Even when she told me her concept I thought "I don't think I'll be able to execute this for her..." But she helped ease my mind, made me laugh..and ultimately took the best photos of me I've ever seen. I'm not kidding...this girl is magic. I had tears of joy coning down my face when I saw myself in her lens for the first time. Not only do I now have beautiful images of myself, but I found some confidence that I lost along the way.

She has captured some of the most beautiful & important moments in my life, from my maternity photos to my family’s first Christmas pictures!! Jess was so gentle and attentive with our little one, which was extremely appreciated because he was a little fussy during our holiday photoshoot. She also does a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable AND confident in front of the camera from the very start.
