“Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness; facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.”

FAQs
-
A big part of why you have come this far is because you saw the work I create and thought, “I could do that!” Being naked is a big part of what makes these images timeless, like the paintings you’d see in the Louvre. If you are feeling shy or would like to keep from baring it all, I bring with me lots of colored, beautiful fabrics for you to choose from. There’s no shame in wanting to cover up, but a big part of the thrill and experience is the vulnerability of stripping down to nothing.
-
We will spend 15 minutes talking and warming up. I will explain what to expect when you get in the water and we will set the intention for the space and our time together. This will be a great time to tell me if you have any anxieties about the shoot. I can reassure you it’s about having fun and trying something new. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are comfortable while still pushing your creative expression.
-
I wish I could guarantee all the conditions to be perfect to do your session in a natural body of water, however it’s a huge risk for both of us to make the investment and show up to a river or lake and have it be too murky to do underwater shots. Or to the ocean and the waves are too rough. I also can’t guarantee privacy at any of these locations. I reserve natural water sessions for experimental shoots where expectation and time is not a risk. I know natural water is a desired location for many. If your heart is set on this I can explain more about the risks of this scenario if you’d like to send me an email or talk on the phone. It’s not impossible, just risky!
-
Yes! You don’t need to know how to swim well, just well enough to survive. If you have a special needs we can talk about ways to make a shoot work for you. It may require you have someone else with you to assist.
-
They are for anyone who has an open mind and a will to let go and let the experience take hold of the moment. I love working with couples, friend groups and solos. No matter how you identify this is a safe and inclusive space for all.
-
No! I will do the leg work here, as I know exactly what we need for perfect conditions. However, If you have suggestions, I’m always game to explore new places as long as the location checks all the necessary boxes. The main one being clear water!
You might be wondering, is there a discount if you find the pool?
There are a few boxes to check when finding the right pool. It cannot be tiled or overly elaborate. We get the best effects by using monotone cement or fiberglass pools. It needs to be outdoors and in full sun.
The pool rental is something I take care of, so you don’t have to stress, and is included in your session cost. If you are providing the pool, and it checks all the boxes, there is a $50 discount.
-
Extra retouching such as taking out elements of the photo, converting from color to black and white, skin retouching etc is $35/image
-
All my pricing includes my right to be able to share photos from our session on my social media, to create prints (upon mutual agreement) and to post the photos on my website.
If you are wanting to do a session but would like to keep your photos for private use only, there is a “Privacy Package” that I offer for the cost of $450. The reason I charge more for this addition is that I rely heavily on being able to showcase our photos to bring in further work. So without the use of photos, there’s no way others can see the progress and glory of the magic we create.

“Working with Little Green Eyes was an outlet I needed. Jessie has a unique lens and an easy style. I felt comfortable and empowered, without cheerleading. Her work is layered and thoughtful…
READ MOREShe allowed the session to unfold, rather than staging tired concepts. The photos we created are real representations of what pregnancy was for me. Her work is present. She is a true artist of her craft. For me, pregnancy was lonely. A suspension of sensation and a warp of time and space. It was an internal space where I had to transform in tandem with the being inside me. It was vulnerable and exposing, while also being beautiful and awe-inspiring. These photos honor the transition I made into motherhood. I am so grateful to have a photograph that so gracefully captures a deeper reflection of what was a difficult time for me. With these photos I can look back and appreciate the beauty of my transformation. “

“Jessie’s grounded insight always leaves me feeling seen and understood. She has an uncanny ability to identify the core of any conflict or desire that is so valuable when trying to determine what’s really important to you…
READ MOREThis perspective has allowed me to focus on living my life in a way that truly reflects my values. She has helped me to understand and reframe some of my deepest limiting beliefs and is always encouraging me to continue pursuing my dreams. She is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and I would recommend her to anyone seeking to grow and understand themselves on a deeper level.”

“I could not have chosen a better photographer for my album cover art. Not only do I have a collection of exquisite and totally unique photos, after working with Jessie, I also see myself in a brand-new light. I feel more confident, more graceful, and frankly more badass…
READ MOREWhen I was designing my album cover art, I wanted something dreamy, but not cheesy or cliché. I loved everything about working with her—it felt like playing around. I am not a model, or much of a water person, but together we figured out how to move my body, how to push my hair around, how to use the fabric underwater, how to relax my face. All I really needed was one good picture, but I ended up with so many stunning, magical photographs, unlike anything else out there. It was beyond anything I had imagined. What an incredibly special experience. People compliment my album cover all the time, but more importantly, it’s actually the cover I always dreamed of.”

“Nearing the end of this pregnancy, I knew documenting the miracle of my changing body was important--especially since this is the last time I wish to carry…
READ MOREI took an unconventional approach to "maternity photo shoot" and instead of standing in a field, smiling and cradling my bump, I contacted the dear friend of mine, @littlegreeneyes. Jess made the incredibly intimidating idea of jumping in a pool, nude, at 33wks pregnant, a complete joy. She made it fun! She was gentle with my comfort level and coached me when needed. When I was out of breathe, she knew when I needed a break. She was perfectly in tune with my needs. I couldn't imagine a better person to work with. I'm forever grateful she worked her magic to capture this special moment for us. However intimidating it may be to expose my body during this transition, I hope by doing so that other women unashamedly embrace the beauty and wonder of their own.”

“Working with Jessie was a truly beautiful and very liberating experience.She has a very calm and gentle presence about her which was extremely comforting to have when stepping into such a unique experience…
READ MOREShooting with her felt amazingly collaborative, and she was encouraging and supportive as I surrendered to the process. I found that being immersed in water offered a unique kind of protection, as if being held by the water. Despite being naked, I felt as if I was wearing the water, fabric and foliage that moved around me. Any self consciousness almost immediately melted away. The weightless environment created grace and flow that is totally unique to being underwater. You are forced to slow down, let the water move you, and surrender to the elements and environment at play. Having always admired underwater photography, I had never imagined myself to be in front of the lens. The opportunity to dive into this space was really special, allowing me to see myself differently; stripped back, vulnerable and raw. The experience allowed me to admire my own beauty and the stunning images are something I will always treasure and be proud of.”

“I am far from elegant, but you would never know that looking at the final photos that Jessie sent me. I felt more like a manatee than a mermaid as I tried to relax my face and move gracefully through the water but somehow Jessie caught incredible shots...
READ MORE(Though I'm sure the ones she withheld captured some of that awkwardness..) I'd never done an underwater shoot, and the closest I'd come is seeing one on America's Next Top Model circa 2004. I am not a natural in front of the camera either, but immediately felt Jessie's professionalism, expertise, and empathy as she took a few minutes pre-shoot to explain exactly how things would go (including the fact that she was still new to this and didn't know exactly how things would go), a way to keep time (which I appreciated as a client in not being shocked that it was over, but instead having an idea of a countdown!) and our options. Although the pool was a bit chilly, her positive attitude and willingness to be flexible in every way (including an option to ditch the pool and just do photos in a hot tub) made me feel immediately comfortable. I loved that Jessie can work with "normal" people who aren't influencers or models and make the shoot work. I am SO grateful for that and not feeling stupid not knowing where to put my hands or where to look.”
