Owner
Photography has always been a big part of my life. In high school, I enrolled in film photography and my love for this craft intensified. Fast forward to the digital shift and here I am with instant (sort of) photos. The rest is pretty much history as they say.
Creativity is a big part of my life and I strive to work and live creatively. The photos I take reflect my creative personality. When you hire me you are not only allowing me to capture these moments for you but your actually living them. I'm just providing you with the memory for you to relive years after.

So happy with Yesenia and her work! Not only were the pictures gorgeous, but she was amazing to work with. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I'm the third friend in our group to have her photograph their wedding and I'll continue to recommend her to anyone else.

The best thing that ever happened was finding Jessra Photography on Instagram! From her photos, you can see the care that she takes when taking photos and even feel like you know the couple and are sharing in the emotions they are feeling. From our initial call to text messages after the event, Yesenia felt like an old friend I had lost touch with. My now husband HATES taking photos, but during our engagement shoot, she was able to get him to naturally smile, by just being her calming and funny self. Again, it didn't feel like we were taking pictures, but that we were catching up with a friend! And then we got our final galleries for both our engagement and our wedding and I honestly, just find myself going back and looking at the pictures at the most random times because they are gorgeous! I can't recommend her (&Marissa) enough! We trusted her vision and got the most STUNNING photos of our amazing days. I just told a friend, I'm sad we have decided not to have kids, because she would have been doing maternity shoots and family photos. Will definitely find another reason and life event for Yesenia to capture in her amazing way!!!!

I can’t say enough positive things! Yesenia was so great to work with from start to finish! She was so easy to communicate with, and she brought me back down when I was stressing. I trusted in her completely, and she delivered. I recommend her 10000x over. Wouldn’t have done anything differently

We met Yesenia through a very close friend who recommended her and we are so, so glad we did! Between engagement photos and our wedding, we are beyond grateful for the work she did and the time she spent with us! Not only is she an AMAZING photographer, but she is an amazing friend who was there for all the things on our wedding day. She helped with flowers, saved the day by removing a hornet from my wedding dress, coordinated with all the family for photos, asked us if we needed water and was so happy and kind with our family. Our entire family adores her!! We even had assistance helping our groomsmen with boutonnières from her second shooter. Yesenia is extremely flexible and made changes to our schedule seamless when we were running behind on wedding day getting ready!
Yesenia’s entire personality and demeanor was exactly what a nervous bride needed on her wedding day!! She made taking photos for two camera shy people a very fun and highly enjoyable experience!
On top of being such a wonderful person, her photos are absolutely stunning!! We were completely blown away when we received our wedding album. We really had a chance to relive the day again together as we looked through our photos. The way she captured every special moment through the day is incredible. Yesenia is a true professional in every way! We highly recommend Jessra Photography and can’t wait to work with her again for all our photo needs in the future!!

Yesenia was an amazing photographer to work with! She made the entire experience stress free, fun and all around wonderful. The photos from our wedding couldn’t be any better. Added bonus, her turn around for getting them back out was very quick. If we had to get married again tomorrow, we would pick Yesenia to photograph our wedding again. It was truly the best working with her!

Yesenia is truly the BEST!!! My husband and I are so lucky to have booked her for our beach wedding. Yesenia is a true professional, and we could clearly see that she put a lot of care into documenting our happiest day. Throughout the night, she was bursting with new ideas for unique, fun, and beautiful pictures, all of which turned out absolutely lovely! On top of that, she also has an amazing and warm personality, and made us feel comfortable and confident for all our photos.
Additionally, Yesenia did a really amazing job of capturing every aspect of the night. With all the excitement, I didn’t get a chance to fully take in some of the evening’s smaller details, such as the flowers, food displays, and table decor. Thankfully, Yesenia was on top of everything, and gave us gorgeous photos of every single detail.
We are so grateful for Yesenia and her ability to fully capture all of the happiness and love we felt that night. I can’t recommend her enough!

Do not hesitate and book with Jessra Photography!! I have been apart of many event celebrations, including other weddings, so I have been around my fair share of photographers. This is hands down by far the best photography team money can buy. Not only is Jessi and her team super professional but they are also so kind and show their human side and really connect with their clients. The creativity is through the roof and there was not one single photo I did not like. Beautiful experience, 10/10.

When I considered capturing the magic of our surprise proposal, I knew we needed a photographer and a storyteller. Yesenia was that and so much more. Her ability to blend into the moment, ensuring a natural and authentic capture of our emotions, was magical. Her photographs tell a story far beyond what words could describe.
Yesenia’s professionalism and warmth made us feel at ease amidst the nerves and excitement of the proposal. She was not only punctual and well-prepared but also brought with her a calming presence that was invaluable on such an important day. Her suggestions for poses and settings were inspired, showcasing her experience and creativity. Yet, she was always open to our ideas and preferences, making it a truly collaborative experience.
The quality of Yesenia’s work speaks volumes. Every photograph is a work of art, capturing the light, the setting, and our emotions in perfect harmony. Looking through the photos, we relive the magic of that day, each picture evoking the emotions and love shared.
Choosing Yesenia as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our proposal. She delivered a gallery of images that exceeded our wildest dreams, each a cherished memory that we will treasure forever. Yesenia comes with our highest recommendation for anyone looking to capture the essence of their special moments. Her work is not just photography; it’s a gateway to reliving your most precious memories time and time again.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Yesenia for our engagement and wedding photoshoot. She is a true professional who is not only incredibly talented but also incredibly kind and helpful. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and she captured some truly magical moments that we will cherish forever.
One of the things I loved most about Yesenia is her eye for detail. She was able to capture some of the smallest and most precious moments that I would have otherwise missed. Looking back at our family and friends laugh and have fun at our wedding has been a blast.
Yesenia was also incredibly helpful with providing guidance throughout the photoshoot. She helped us choose the perfect location, and she gave us some great tips on how to pose and relax in front of the camera. Her guidance made the entire experience so much more enjoyable, and it really shows in the final photos.
I cannot recommend Yesenia highly enough. If you are looking for a talented, professional, and kind photographer, she is the perfect person for you. You will not be disappointed!

Your photographer search ends here - Yesenia is the absolute BEST. She is spectacularly talented and goes above and beyond to capture and deliver photos that will leave your jaw on the floor. My (now) husband and I felt immediately comfortable with Yesenia after our initial phone conversation. During the engagement photoshoot, Yesenia spent extra time with us so we didn’t feel rushed and ensured we went to all the locations we hoped for. After our wedding, Yesenia returned our full gallery to us with a record fast turn around time! My family was left screaming with joy at how gorgeous the pictures were. We were so pleased with Yesenia’s work that we hired her to photograph another family event. Then my dad asked me for her contact information to book her for yet another event! I can guarantee you that you will be beyond satisfied with moving forward with Yesenia.. but if you have any doubts take a look at her photographs yourself and let her work speak for itself. Photography is one of the most important vendors at your wedding (or other event) and you will have no regrets with Yesenia!

There just aren’t enough words to describe how amazing our experience was with Yesenia. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and of course expressions. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed during what can be a stressful time. She was very organized and professional throughout the entire process. Our engagement and wedding photos are above and beyond what we imagined they would be!

Yesenia did a FANTASTIC job photographing our wedding. We planned our wedding in 27 days. We were very stressed that we weren't going to find a photographer in time that had a great style of pictures. From start to finish Yesenia communicated well with us. She captured all of the photos that we asked for plus so much more. Her fun and sweet personality makes you forget about the stress and anxiety you could be going through on your special day. We are so overly thankful that we found Jessra Photography!

Yesenia was the best to work with! She captured so many memorable moments form our wedding that we can revisit again and again. She made us feel so comfortable behind the camera so we could get beautiful, natural looking portraits. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful, she had us laughing and enjoying our wedding day before we even got to the alter. Oh and the engagement pictures she shot are also gorgeous! We’ve gotten so many compliments on all of our pictures. I would 100% recommend working with Yesenia, we fall in love with our wedding and engagement pictures every time we go through them.

Yesenia! Yesenia! Yesenia!
We knew after our first conversation that she was the ONE & there was no regret with our choice. From her travel to CT to Florida for our wedding, we would absolutely do it all over again with Yesenia at the top of our list!
When revisiting our photos months after our wedding, we can hear her laughter and her gasping saying, ‘Yes that’s so good’! We cannot put into words how grateful we were then and how appreciative we are to have had the opportunity to be captured by Yesenia!
Absolute Professional & such a JOY to have capture our wedding day! Yesenia is not only a gifted photographer but an amazing artist! It rained all morning and afternoon but when we said, ‘I Do’, her infectious smile and great energy kept our spirits lifted! As soon as the rain stopped even more magic happened! Thank you!!!!!!!!
If in doubt, don’t be! Yesenia is the very best!

I honestly cannot thank Yesenia enough for everything she did for our special day! Her & Dale were the absolute best team my husband and I could have ever had. We both felt like we had our life long friends at our wedding with the two of them.
With all of the stress of finding vendors for the wedding, Yesenia was the easiest ones to talk to. I felt like I was talking to someone I've known forever. We started getting inside jokes and laughing for hours with our initial conversation.
If you're looking for someone that makes you feel like you've known them forever & everything is just easy. Look no further!! #thebrownbread

Yesenia was hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and is a true professional. We were both nervous having a camera follow us around all day and it felt like one of our best friends were taking our photo. Yesenia made us feel so comfortable. And let’s not forget to mention the photos- amazing and delivered way sooner than we expected. We will for sure be calling Yesenia for any more big events we have in the future.
Thanks Yesenia!

Yesenia was the most amazing photographer!! From the first email, I could tell how excited she was about the location we were having our ceremony. Her enthusiasm made me so happy, and this was all before our big day!!! At our wedding, Yesenia was fully immersed in all of the beautiful scenery and where we could get the best shots. She made sure to capture every possible photo! Even after the wedding, she mentioned to me how she could not stop talking/thinking about our wedding!! We had a super small, intimate wedding, which made the day even more special because it was less chaotic and stressful than a traditionally large wedding. There was a magic in the air that day that we all felt and appreciated!! Thank you again, for everything!

Hiring Jessra Photos to capture our day was definitely one of the best decisions we made. Yesenia is an absolute joy to be around. From first meeting at our engagement shoot to spending all day together for our wedding day, it felt like she was not only our photographer, but also a great friend. She is so kind and loves love, and we could tell throughout the entire planning process that she wanted nothing more than to make sure we felt so special and so loved on our wedding day and beyond. The incredible photos her and her co-photographer, Dale, captured have allowed us to relive the best day of our lives over and over again and we couldn't be any more grateful. And even more incredible, she delivered our gallery to us in under two weeks! Everyone was so shocked at how quickly we got our photos back! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with Jessra Photography and we highly recommend to all future couples to book her ASAP, you won't regret it!! Thank you Yesenia and Dale!!

Our elopement would not have been as magical without Yesenia! Yesenia is an amazing photographer with a genuine desire to see her couples' dreams realized on their special day. My husband and I planned to elope with our children, who all had ideas for our celebration as well. From the moment we booked with her, Yesenia shared in our excitement and helped us navigate through, and combine, all our ideas into the perfect itinerary for the day. As we got closer to our elopement date, the weather forecast called for rain—but that didn't deter Yesenia. She was there with experience and advice to help ensure the rain didn't ruin anything. When our day arrived, she was ready to brave the storm with us—literally! She was able to capture all the important and intimate details of the day with the professionalism, grace, and humor that only a true professional and genuine individual can possess.

I am obsessed with the pictures that Yesenia captured of our big day. I keep going back to look at them and am so happy every time I do. They are GORGEOUS. It took me hours to narrow down some of my favorites to share with friends & family because I loved so many of them. Did I mention she turned around the final album in less than 2 weeks?!?! I know people who wait months all the way up to a year for their pictures. Furthermore, she and her assistant were so pleasant to work with and made us feel comfortable and relaxed while shooting. Before the big day Yesenia was so prompt at responding and everything went so smoothly. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Where to begin. Jessra just did everything right. I was very overwhelmed with the whole planning process but every time I talked to her she was so excited that it brought everything into prospective and made me excited. I shopped around for photographers and Jessra had the best quality for a very reasonable price. Plus the engagement session was included, which was really nice for us since we are not comfortable with pictures and could get used to being photographed before the wedding. Then at the wedding, when a bit of chaos ensued, Jessra made sure that I still got all the pictures I wanted before she left. She made sure to keep referencing all the notes we had put together during our detailed meetings and when the pictures came back (in less than 2 weeks!), we were in love. I could not have found a better or more supportive photographer to capture our big day.

If you need photos.. Jessra Photography is the only choice. I’ll start from the beginning. I called Yesenia from a personal recommendation and immediately we hit it off. She was warm and sweet and had all the answers. I booked a basic package with her which was not only more than reasonably priced but included an engagement shoot. I wouldn’t have booked that otherwise and I’m so glad we were able to do it! The engagement shoot gave me and my fiancé an opportunity to meet Yesenia in person and get comfortable with taking professional photos. Those photos were phenomenal and such a great sneak peak into what our wedding photos would be like. Then leading up to the wedding Yesenia was always available to me and she was wildly organized with payment information and wedding day details. She brought along another utterly talented assistant photographer, Dale, whom also was a videographer. Dale filmed our ceremony and special dances and was fabulous! Yesenia showed up early on our wedding day, looked so cute and professional and also brought her naturally warm personality. She made not just me and my now husband comfortable but she made our family and friends feel that way too. I could go on and on! Only a couple of short weeks later we’ve received our photos and they are perfection. We got married on a rainy day and she still made us glow. So grateful to have met this gem. Much gratitude and love for Jessra Photography!

My husband and I had an absolute pleasure of working with Yessenia last year. We hired her to do our wedding photos and just could not believe how amazing she was to work with. She was very professional, responsive, accommodating, and creative - everything you should expect from a five star wedding photographer. But she was more than that - her personality and friendliness made our engagement and wedding photo sessions so much fun!! They way she learned about us and our bodies and the way she positioned us has made such a difference in our wedding photos. She took her time and care to ensure that every shot is perfect and that we looked our best. Our wedding party and family were also very impressed as she was so easy to work with. She captured so many beautiful moments and gave us memories to cherish for the rest of our lives. I am so sorry that this review is so late but I will be forever grateful to you for making our wedding day that more special! Thank you so so much!!!

When you hire Yesenia, you don't only get an amazing photographer who pays close attention to detail, listens to her couples and delivers above and beyond expectations; you get a kind and genuine soul who is down to earth, funny, always smiling and just an overall bright spirit. We enjoyed every moment we shared with her (engagement shoot and wedding shoot) and could not have asked for a better photographer to be a part of this special moment with us. We plan to have Yesenia as a continued part of our journey (can't wait for those first home and baby bump sessions!) because she is GREAT at what she does. Book her now. I promise you won't regret it.

I was so fortunate to find Yesenia on Instagram just 3 or so months before my wedding once it kicked up again post COVID. Leading up to the big day Yesenia was so helpful with providing vendor recommendations and answering all our possible questions. She is a Connecticut based and we are from New Jersey and we were able to communicate flawlessly and for our Engagement session she met us halfway in New York and helped us find the perfect location.
On the day of the wedding, she was a boss! As soon as she arrive the day started and she had command of the room since the pictures really is a full-day process. My husband and I really appreciate the effort and you can see it in the beautiful way that she captured our day. She's organized and quick thinking. No wedding day goes on with out something going wrong. For us, our videographer did not arrive on time and missed the ceremony. Quickly Yesenia's assistant switched over to video on his camera and was able to capture the full ceremony, and we are so grateful. Finally, out of the many photographers quotes that I received she had the best price for her package and was able to explain and answer all the questions we had in the booking process.

We go through our wedding photos all the time and are just so happy with how they came out. Yesenia has the best personality and wants to know everything about your wedding to make your special day perfect. She was always readily available to answer our questions and the whole process with her was very seamless. It was great being able to have 2 photographers as well. We also got our wedding photos back super quick. She’s the best and made our day so memorable!

She is AMAZING! SUPER talented, down to earth, flexible, friendly, and a cool person. You're gonna spend a big part of your day with your photographer and for us having a person we liked who was real with us was important. She's THE WHOLE PACKAGE!! She sent our wedding pictures back in under 3 weeks, every single one STUNNING. So professional, capable, and easy to work with. BOOK WITH HER TODAY!! Did I mention her pricing is SUPER REASONABLE? (and in wedding world that's RARE). If two awkward introverts absolutely loved her you will too. Not an awkward shot in the 900 we got!!!

Yesenia was and is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I originally booked her for our engagement and wedding photos after falling in love with her work that we found on her Instagram page @jessra_photos. I must also mention, her prices are amazing. We didn’t even have a venue at the time of booking with her. After touring what felt like a thousand wedding venues, I reached out to Yesenia and asked her if she suggested any. We fell in love with one of her suggestions and booked it right away. On top of that, we also found a lovely florist through her. Needless to say, she is more than a wedding photographer. Thanks to her encompassing experience, you can count on her for more than just photographs. She takes the effort to learn what is important to you and she makes sure she captures the moments that are dear to your heart. Talking with Yesenia is super easy and fun too. You feel like friends with her the moment you begin to chat. And shall I mention the photo sessions?! She brings so much fun and joy, my husband even enjoyed taking photos. If you are reading this review, chances are you care deeply about getting your event captured perfectly. Yesenia saved all of the emotions, memories and more. She is now booked to photograph my Sister-in-laws upcoming wedding. Needless to say, I am thrilled to be able to work again with Yesenia again.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Yesenia for a photoshoot in February. Although the weather was very cold that day, she was able to capture awesome photos of us! She is very easy to get along with and truly cares about you.
Yesenia actually took engagement photos of our close friends, and they were absolutely beautiful. We were so excited to have photos taken by her as well, after we saw her amazing work. My husband and I just attended that friend's wedding, and Yesenia and her assistant were there to capture photos for their wedding day as well. The preview photos look wonderful, and we're so excited to see the full album soon!
She is also capturing that friend's sister's wedding in a couple months, so you know how great her photography is if it's being referred to by the whole family! We highly recommend Yesenia for your photography needs, you won't regret it!

She was amazing! She made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed. Every single picture turned out absolutely perfect. She had so many great ideas for poses and detail photos. I will recommend her to anyone I know getting engaged.

Stop searching…book her IMMEDIATELY! 😊 I literally could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was. Yesenia photographed our tiny covid wedding right when the world was totally shutting down and she was endlessly supportive and flexible. I was thankful we had her to photograph our ceremony that day. Her photos really let us relive that memory of our intimate, romantic wedding! We finally we able to have our big wedding celebration in June and the pictures she has delivered are absolutely gorgeous. She captured every moment beautifully and really encapsulated the feeling and emotions of the whole day. I love how she makes you feel completely natural and comfortable while she does her work – my husband and I feel as though our silliness and happiness was pictured so well throughout the day. Her photos really show who you both are as a couple, which was the most important to us! She just is SO easy to work with. She is such a professional, but she still felt like part of the family after the whole process. She cares so much about her work and her clients, and you absolutely know she is putting in all her effort into your photographs. Our friends and family have just gushed to us about how lovely she was. I cannot imagine finding a better photographer than Yesenia; we are beyond happy we found her for our wedding!

Yesenia did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding day! She did exactly what we had discussed in previous conversations and made everything seamless from start to finish. She was very professional and brought a second shooter to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. Our photos were ready within a month of our wedding and they all came out beautifully. I would recommend her to anyone getting married or looking to have any professional photos done. Thank you thank you!!!

Yesenia did an amazing job for our wedding! She is professional, creative, enthusiastic and one can see she really cares for each project she takes on. We were so lucky to have her capture our wedding on film and returned the images (edited) so fast! So glad she will be doing my sister's wedding this year as well. I highly recommend booking her if she has availability for your special day; she will make sure you remember it forever.

Where do I even start???? Yesenia is nothing short of amazing and can literally do anything. I don’t know how I would have gotten through wedding planning without her and that goes beyond just photography. You know when a person just gives you a good feeling right from the very start and you immediately trust everything about them? Yeah, that’s the feeling I got when speaking with Yesenia for the very first time. I told my husband all about her and we set up a meeting. Meeting her in person solidified it for me and my husband agreed. We loved her and still do LOVE her. She is talented, honest, personable, creative, and wears any hat that she can. You can tell she loves what she does. You can tell she is genuine. You can see it in her work, in all of her client’s faces, in their body language. You can feel it when you speak with her. Yesenia offered to come shoot our backyard wedding for free when we had to postpone the big bash due to Covid and that really says something. She didn’t just do that for us either. She did that for all of her clients who were going through the chaotic mess that the pandemic brought on. That is selfless right there and I will forever remember that day, not just because it was the day we officially said “I do” but because the pictures and the story they tell of me and my husband by Yesenia are so obvious, it’s just beyond explanation. You can’t help but feel comfortable around Yesenia and like you’ve known her for years. Leading up to the BIG BIG bash, she was always there for me, always there to talk out ideas, hear my plans, and give me her ideas and suggestions. When things got stressful, she called me and we talked through it! When I saw it was going to be a complete washout on my wedding day, she calmed me down, talked me through and assured me that it was going to be PERFECT. Why would I even doubt that? Hearing that from her made me calm and I felt relieved. Morning of my wedding and I am still calm. Yesenia shows up to my house and her second shooter shows up to the hotel. Everything is perfect. All of my girls adore her, I adore her, my mom adores her, my DOGS adore her. We are so thankful that Yesenia shot not just one of our weddings but BOTH. She was there as more than just our photographer but as our friend. We are so thrilled with the sneak peaks and we CANNOT WAIT TO SEE ALL OF THE SHOTS. We know they’re going to be fabulous. Book her!!!!! Just trust me! You want Yesenia on your big day and for the lead up <3

Yesenia was so great! We can't talk highly about her enough. She made my husband and I feel comfortable. The time we spent taking photos we felt like Yesenia was a close friend. She's so personable , down to earth and understanding.
"Pivot" became our mantra. It was so great getting to know her, and have her shoot the photos of our weddings.
Yesenia is like the queen of candids. We have a lifetime of memories thanks to her.
Thank you & HIRE HER. She's amazing in every way.

To have worked with Yesina three times for my sisters wedding, my engagement photos, and my own wedding has been an absolute pleasure and joy!!! Yesina is not only extremely talented but a full on natural behind the camera. She will make you feel completely comfortable with each pose, she talks with you every step of the way, and makes sure you are having fun. I am beyond grateful to have worked with her on my special day. My photos came out even better then what I expected. I was blown away at what she was able to capture for my husband and I, now we can look back in awe at our beautiful day forever. Thank you again and again!! She is NEVER a disappointment.

Yesenia is AMAZING. My husband and I cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day on such notice due to a family illness.
We were so nervous to pick a photographer since we're not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, however, Yesenia has the most calming and welcoming personality- we truly felt that we had been friends for years. She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during our engagement shoot (which was a month before the wedding!!). She knew all of the poses and tips to make sure we looked great in every photo.
Her accommodating us for our engagement shoot, just days after speaking with her for the first time, allowed us to build a relationship with her before the wedding.
Yesenia arrived early in the morning for our brunch wedding to capture the bridal party getting ready and traveled to our venue. She kept note of everything we asked for and made sure to make it happen. We just received our photos and we're in awe.
Yesenia went above and beyond her description of a photographer. If you're looking for a professional photographer for your big day that truly does not miss a detail, Yesenia is your girl.

Yesenia is absolutely amazing!! She takes pride in her work. She asked me all the right questions so she had all the little details before the wedding and was completely on top of her game. She showed genuine excitement for me and my wedding day and for meeting my family. She made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera even though I am camera shy. She showed me how beautiful the pictures were coming out along the way and instilled my confidence. My pictures are just stunning and I am getting so many compliments on them! She honestly felt like family by the end of the day and I am so happy I found her!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better engagement shoot experience. Yesenia was SO amazing and patient throughout the entire yearlong process (YES, 1-YEAR!). We discovered Yesenia through her Instagram in early-summer 2019, and after a consultation call, we booked her to take our engagement pictures. Yesenia gives off great girlfriend/ best friend vibes, that instantly makes you want to be her friend for life. She made us feel comfortable, and was genuinely excited about capturing our love through pictures. Our shoot was originally scheduled for November 2019, but was rescheduled three times due to weather and then COVID-19. Yesenia’s upbeat personality and reassurance eased our tension due to our lack of control over the situation. She was completely flexible, which made us feel so loved, which we truly appreciated.
Yesenia took our pictures in the early evening of June 2020 on the Trinity College campus. Yesenia’s energy and eagerness were unmatched. As soon as she got on campus, she had tons of ideas, and immediately got to work. She (literally) jumped through hoops to get the right shots - and she certainly delivered. Yesenia went above and beyond! Tirelessly snapping away. We finished the shoot later than expected, but Yesenia still had the same amazing bubbly energy at the end of the day.
The next morning, I woke up to the most beautiful sneak peek of our shoot, and was blown away that Yesenia was able to drive an hour plus home, have a life, and edit one of our pictures. I was floored! 9 days after our shoot, Yesenia delivered about 200 perfectly edited pictures to our inbox. We loved everything! Yesenia took so many great photos that it was really hard to pick a photo for our save the dates; however, these pictures will be plastered all over our wedding website and printed for family.
Yesenia is truly passionate and talented at what she does. I am so happy and proud to have worked with her. She’s a class act, and will definitely work with her again in the near future. You won’t go wrong when working with Yesenia!

I cannot say enough good things about Yesenia, everyone should hire her for any event immediately!! We originally set our wedding date for 3/28/20. From the very first meeting she was absolutely amazing about listening to our vision and working with us on every detail. Our engagement shoot was gorgeous, I was so impressed and I suggest you take advantage of an engagement session with her. She made us feel so at ease, and captured our true personalities. My husband and I as well as our family and friends were blown away by her vision and quality of photos. When our large wedding had to be postponed she was so flexible, accommodating, and most importantly kept me calm! She still came for our smaller intimate ceremony and captured shots we will treasure forever. When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding I knew I wanted someone confident, competent, creative and easy to get along with. I needed someone to feel comfortable with. Yesenia fits the bill! Everyone at our wedding raved at how wonderful she was. I will be hiring her for all my future important life moments that will need to be captured :)

Yesenia recently did a family/maternity photo shoot for my family. We absolutely loved both her and her work. Yesenia’s approach of just blending in with our family and capturing our family’s special moments was exactly what we were looking for.
The photo shoot consisted of absolutely beautiful shots that show our daughters personality and her true beauty along with intimate family moments! We will treasure these photos forever!
In person, Yesenia is really kind and friendly, and our daughter was immediately comfortable around her and very natural during the time of capturing the photos.
Yesenia is also unbelievably easy to work with, both in setting up the time and date for the shoot, the day of the event, and when she delivered the gorgeous images. She is extremely quick with responding over text and email, and provided our photos way sooner than we expected.
Over all, we couldn’t have had a better experience nor have we ever seen a better set of family photos. We HIGHLY recommend Yesenia!
