ABOUT JESSICA

Jessica Strom is a Canadian-American professional infant photographer based out of the greater Kansas City metro. She was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where she attended Mount Royal University from 2002 – 2004, studying both early childhood development and psychology. In early 2011 after being published in Professional Photographer Magazine featuring her birth photography, Jessica began volunteering her time and resources to photograph families with extremely premature infants still in various NICU units in the Kansas City area. By the end of 2013, Jessica’s NICU work had been published in a large billboard campaign for one of the local NICU units and she was featured in an 8 page article in the Kansas City Star. In 2014, her work was published internationally in numerous countries upon publication on NBC and Huffington Post, upon which she was then filmed for a 5 minute segment for The Today Show. Jessica has since travelled to visit and photograph NICU units in Canada and South Korea with plans to travel to all cultural regions of the globe to document and photograph different approaches to prematurity worldwide. In 2015 she was a guest lecturer at the 28th Annual Gravens Conference on the High-Risk Infant in collaboration with March of Dimes and the University of South Florida and has since worked with various high profile corporate entities for NICU re-branding. She is the leading expert in the field of NICU Photography and her passion for her work in documenting the journey of micro preemies is unparalleled.

 

Between 2016 - 2018, after a 10 year struggle with infertility, Jessica and her husband welcomed their two wonderful children, Charlie & Rachel, into their family.
