About Me
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” — Wayne Gretzky
Hi, I'm Jessie, a Tampa-based photographer with a passion for capturing memories. I first picked up a camera in high school, and I've been hooked ever since. From the thrill of special events to the beauty of everyday moments, I love freezing time through my lens. Currently studying digital media communication at Saint Leo University, photography isn't just a job to me, it's my lifelong passion. I'm excited to keep exploring and creating memorable images in the years to come.
Experience
Organizations/Events/Clients
USF Hockey
From a photographer's standpoint, I've captured images of all the University of South Florida hockey teams, including D2, D3, and the women's team. College hockey holds a special charm for me with its uniqueness, and attending the games is always a blast.
SLU Hockey
In regard to the Saint Leo hockey team, I genuinely feel like I'm part of one big family. At the start of the season, I captured their media day photos, which inspired me to pursue something I'm truly passionate about. Throughout this past season, I've built numerous friendships, and I eagerly anticipate next season to continue taking photos for them and managing their social media accounts.
Other Sports
During my free time, you'll often find me at Advent, capturing photos for USF or SLU. Additionally, I indulge in photographing baseball, soccer, and football games involving my cousins. My journey with photography began when I picked up a camera while my cousin was playing against my high school team, sparking my passion for capturing moments.
Formal & Grad
I also provide formal and graduation photo services for family friends who require them, and I have gotten feedback saying the results are consistently fantastic. Photography holds a special place in my heart because my grandmother instilled in me the belief that photos are more than just images—they're cherished memories. Whenever you need a reminder of the beautiful moments in life, you can look back on them and treasure the memories created in the past.
