Born from my own craving to experience more. Its my vision of exploration, beauty and being seen.
Wayfarer sessions are for women craving freedom, softness, movement, escape, and cinematic beauty.
THE WAYFARER EXPERIECE
Seasonal river experience
A seasonal river portrait experience inspired by movement, nature, softness, and wild femininity.
Shot at golden hour in the water with flowing fabrics, natural textures, and cinematic light, these sessions feel less like traditional boudoir and more like stepping into a scene from another lifetime.
The Wayfarer Sessions are offered only during select warm-weather months each year.
WHAT THE WAYFARER EXPERIENCE FEELS LIKE
The Wayfarer Experience is for the woman who feels most herself outside the ordinary.
These sessions are emotional, artistic, and immersive — created for women drawn to movement, storytelling, nature, and imagery that feels deeply alive.
Water moves differently.
Fabric moves differently.
You move differently.
The result is a gallery that feels cinematic, untamed, feminine, and impossibly romantic

The photos
Here are some of the looks we can create together
Your Photo Shoot Experience:
Full Directing & Coaching
You never have to wonder what to do with your hands, your body, or where to look. I guide you through every movement so you can relax into the experience instead of performing for the camera.
Styling
Inside the studio, you’ll have access to our curated client closet filled with soft lingerie, flowing dresses, cozy knits, statement jackets, and thoughtfully chosen accessories — all designed to help you slip into the experience effortlessly and discover looks you may have never imagined yourself wearing.
Pro Hair & Makeup
You’ll arrive, settle in, sip something comforting, and slowly watch yourself transform in the mirror before we ever take the first photo.
STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Wayfarer Questions
Will there be bugs?
Probably a few — we are outdoors in nature, after all. I’ll have bug spray on hand for everyone, and we’ll choose locations/times that help minimize bugs as much as possible. Most clients are so focused on the experience that they barely notice them.
Do I have to fully get in the water?
Not at all. You do not have to dunk yourself or swim. Most of the session involves standing or moving through shallow water near the shoreline. You may get minimally wet from walking through the river, splashing, or sitting near the water, so I recommend clothing you feel comfortable getting a little damp.
What safety precautions are you taking?
Safety is the top priority for these sessions. I monitor river levels, weather conditions, and water flow leading up to every session. If conditions are unsafe or not ideal, we will reschedule your session for a better day. I’ll also have PFDs (personal flotation devices/life jackets) available on-site for anyone who would like one.
What happens if the weather or river conditions are bad?
If there’s heavy rain, dangerous river conditions, storms, or anything that could compromise safety or the experience, we’ll simply reschedule at no extra cost. I want these sessions to feel adventurous and relaxed — not stressful.
What should I wear?
Think earthy, flowing, textured, and movement-friendly. Neutral tones, linen, gauzy fabrics, dresses, rolled sleeves, layered textures, and barefoot-friendly outfits photograph beautifully in this environment. Avoid anything too stiff, neon, or overly formal. I’ll send styling inspiration before your session.
What if I want more photos than what’s included?
Absolutely — many clients choose to upgrade after seeing their gallery. You’ll have the option to purchase additional digitals, full digital collections, albums, wall art, prints, and other artwork after your session. There’s no pressure to decide beforehand.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. These sessions are designed to feel natural and immersive, not stiff or overly posed. I’ll guide you the entire time with movement, prompts, and direction so you feel comfortable and look incredible without worrying about what to do with your hands.
Are these sessions physically difficult?
Most people do just fine, but there may be light walking on uneven natural terrain like rocks, sand, or shallow water. If you have mobility concerns, let me know ahead of time and I can help determine whether this experience is the right fit or adapt where possible.
I'm Jess Jones.
For years, I’ve watched women walk into my studio criticizing every part of themselves… and leave seeing themselves differently for the first time in years.
What an absolutely liberating and fun experience!! Jess is so chill and immediately put me at ease. Can’t wait to book again!
This was an amazing experience for me! Jess is an amazing photographer to work with. She helped me plan everything out from start to finish. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning of the session. The makeup & hair session went well. She was patient and kind. She even helped me with getting dressed and even the little, small things that I couldn't remember. I am in love with my photos and in awe with the finished product! Every woman should have this experience.
I’m so happy I decided to do this! From the moment I walked in until I left, I loved every minute. My hair and makeup were flawless. Jess started working her magic immediately! She guided me through poses and somehow made it feel effortless. She gave me the opportunity to explore and have fun with it, and managed to make me feel genuinely beautiful the entire time. I booked on my birthday- absolute best way to celebrate my 40th! Highly recommend!
