Five Fourteen Photography

Hi, friends - I’m Jess! Consider me your hype-squad leader: I love empowering my clients to celebrate the joy of life in more ways than simply capturing beautiful, timeless photos. I'm a big dreamer who believes we all have been blessed with something to share, and it’s my mission to capture your heart and personality in photos you’ll cherish forever.

Hi, friends - I’m Jess! Consider me your hype-squad leader: I love empowering my clients to celebrate the joy of life in more ways than simply capturing beautiful, timeless photos. I'm a big dreamer who believes we all have been blessed with something to share, and it’s my mission to capture your heart and personality in photos you’ll cherish forever.

Whether I’m spending my days with a camera in my hands, scuba-diving with my husband, encouraging and mentoring other photographers, sending adorable animal videos from Tiktok to my daughter, or serving the local women’s residential center, I live life genuinely excited to be alive and to serve my people with my whole heart.

I’m so incredibly blessed to share my life with my thrill-seeking husbeast, Rick - we met while skydiving! - our talented adult daughter, Macy, and our three rescue animals, including two black cats and our 60-pound, Amazon-delivery-alerter, Pup-pups (real name: Leia), a pitbull/boxer mix, all of whom are as spoiled as can be.

Meet Jess

PHOTOGRAPHER, WIFE, MOM, AND BIG DREAMER

I got my start in photography as an aerial photographer for tandem skydivers. After about 10 years in the sport and 1,500+ jumps, I decided to hang up my parachute and moved on to photographing weddings, personal brands, and graduates. While I still chase after the thrills by scuba diving, photographing special moments in my client’s lives is just as exciting - seriously!

ADVENTURE

I believe in abundance - that there are enough clients out there for all of us to succeed - which is the exact opposite of what many business experts have to say. But why waste time thinking about how to beat your competition? If the Lord has called you into business, He’s already prepared the right clients and the most beautiful blessings out there for you! I love to mentor other creatives in building businesses that are poised to grow and thrive by helping them combine strategy and faith.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN BUSINESS

I see the world with rose-colored glasses but I wasn't always this way. God has used loss in my life to deliver me from a not-so-pretty past which has empowered me to love Him with my whole heart. Through God’s help, I’ve overcome depression, addiction and the losses of my mother, my best friend, and my oldest brother. It’s an incredible gift that the Lord is still in the miracle-making business and is setting people free. I am proof of that!

GRACE-FILLED FAITH

I Value...

Five Fourteen Photography grew and grew, meaning that I had to deliver quite a few no’s and work hard to scale my business on purpose, which is a process that I now guide and mentor other photographers to navigate!

2018

I photographed 40+ weddings this year!

2017

Stepping out in faith, I attended my first bridal show in January and filled up my wedding calendar for the year!

2016

Launched Five Fourteen Photography in the Fall. I named my business after a bittersweet date in my life (the day in 2015 I lost my oldest brother unexpectedly) and the hope I found in Matthew 5:14: “You are the Light of the World.” Did you know that photography is defined as the art of LIGHT?

2015

Despite pandemic-related cancellations and postponements, I served my clients well, eagerly celebrated with them when their special days arrived, and lived in faith that each day is a gift!

2020-2021

Launched my YouTube channel and launched Five Fourteen Photography’s new website to include photography education and coaching. I’m excited to see where God takes my business in the years to come!

2022

2023

Spoke on the stage at The Graceful Gathering and educated fellow wedding photographers on how to successfully run a thriving business by teaching them how to nurture leads in a way that allows them to more effectively communicate how they will be one of the most valuable assets on a wedding day.

Jessica is the BOMB. I have been in 2 weddings as a bridesmaid when she was the photographer. When I saw how smooth the day went and how beautiful her pictures were I knew I had to have her as our photographer. Her timelines are top notch, her photos are timeless and the best part is she loves Jesus! Would highly recommend using Jessica and her team for your wedding!!
