What People Are Sayin’!

Just sharing some love…

“When I first thought about having our birth photographed, I was hesitant at the idea of having a photographer at the birth of our daughter.  It’s so personal, and I was afraid I might be too embarrassed to have photos of such painful and vulnerable moments.  I have always had natural births, and not all of them were very pretty!  :)  On the flip side, I knew we were planning on this being our last baby, so having beautiful photos to cherish the event would also be very special for our family.
So with some apprehension I made an appointment, and as soon as I met Jessica, I felt instantly at ease!  She showed me samples of her work and they were so moving, as well as tasteful and discreet.  I knew she wouldn’t take any photos that were unbecoming or unnecessary.  And I cried.  She was able to capture such emotional moments that I couldn’t imagine for myself yet, but was dying to experience as our baby was due in just a few short weeks.
When the big day finally arrived, it was Easter morning, and I was filled with excitement and peace all at the same time.  I was going to finally get to meet my baby and see this precious new life on such a special holiday that also celebrates new life!  Jessica met me at the birth center in a matter of minutes and she quietly blended into the scene as my labor progressed.  I honestly didn’t even know where she was much of the time and even my midwife commented afterwards how well it worked out to have her discreetly taking photos of the birth.  She was never “in the way” in any fashion and was remarkably able to capture angles and moments of our beautiful baby girl that I will cherish forever!
I would definitely recommend her without a hesitation to any family who’s wanting to remember this precious event!  Her photography provided us beautiful photos with a superb quality that we wouldn’t have been able to capture in the stressful excitement of this momentous occasion.”

On both occasions when she was taking family pictures, my boys, 5 &3, “acted up” and she still managed to get AMAZING photo’s!! She has taken Larkin’s picture every month and I just love that she loves our girl!! Not only has our family gained an AMAZING photographer, but we have also gained a friend for LIFE!! ♥ ♥ Jessica Strom! You will too I promise!!

Jessica is an AMAZING photographer!! The pictures came out WAY better than my mom and I imagined they would. I was a little worried because my son is very determined once he makes his mind up about something but Jessica was so easy to work with and go with the flow. My husband and I were so honoured when she asked to shoot his 1yr photos, I’d seen her work on facebook and was wishing we’d find a photographer like that!! My one wish is that Jessica lived closer to us. Hopefully next time she comes home for a visit, I’ll be lucky enough to book another photo session with her but this time for the entire family!:)
Thank you Jessica!! xoxoxo

Jessica took family pictures for us. She really made us all feel comfortable and even got my young kids to warm up to her even though this was the first time she met them. She was flexible and relaxed to go with whatever the kids brought to the situation and still managed to capture wonderful family pictures. Jessica does great work!Jessica took family pictures for us.

I was referred to Jessica by a friend for the ‘rock the tutu’ contest! I knew the first time we met and I saw her work, she would be ‘our photographer’!!!!!! I have been so impressed by all of her work and visit her website all of the time to see all of her new work! She is extremely talented and I love how she captures just the right moments! I always look forward to reading the stories she writes about her photos and/or experiences with her clients and friends. You can tell she is so passionate and really builds relationships with her clients. That makes you feel great, like a friend, not just another customer! I have never seen a bad photo. Great locations, great lighting, and colors….such creativity. She really spends quality time with people. I can’t wait to see what she will do with our baby that will be here next month!!!! We look so forward to working with her!

We found out about Jessica Strom Photography from our schools annual auction. She generously donated a session package that we bid on & won. She customized our session to meet our needs, which was a family photo of 7. We first met Jessica and Daniel the day of our session and I can’t tell you how easy they were to work with. Both of them worked wonderfully with our kids; ages 8, 4, 2 & 5 month old twins. Daniel was awesome with my 2 year old who fell in love with him (she was in tears when she didn’t hug him goodbye). He held her, carried her and convinced her to take several pictures. Jessica captured the entire family & my pictures look great in my family room!

She is low pressure, took her time, and always had a smile. All the things we needed!! Her genuine and caring character shine through the pictures she takes. We were blessed to meet her. Thank you Jessica!!

We LOVED our Session!!!! Some how Jessica was able to capture the sweet and sassy side of an 18 month old!! It flew by and we came out with sooo many choices, there are not enough walls in my house to fit all the pics!! My favorite part was the true art in all the photos, Jess just has an eye for natural design. Thanks again!!

Jessica is the best! She was amazing at working with my daughter during our photo shoots. We did a family shoot and then the did two more sessions of just our daughter. The photos are the best i have seen. We will treasure them always. We live in Texas and we miss her greatly! Her husband is her faithful sidekick and he is a wonderful guy! We really miss Jessica and if I could just go to Kansas to continue sessions with her I would! Actually it is very tempting!

The Strom family is just wonderful! Jessica shared a very exciting experience with my family. She took the best pictures of my husband’s homecoming from Afghanistan. I am very blessed to have these photos! They remind me how lucky I am everyday. I wish I could bring Jessica to Germany to capture more moments for me. Thanks Jess! I miss you!

Our family photos are absolutely beautiful! It will be impossible to choose which ones to put on our walls. We are a family of 7, with 7 different personalities, and Jessica managed to capture each one! Daniel and Jessica, together, made our photo session tons of fun as well. Thank You, Jessica!

Jessica did a newborn session with our son while we both lived in Texas and did a wonderful job. The pictures turned out beautifully and she was very patient with a sleeping, pooping, and hungry newborn! We would definitely recommend her!

I can’t say enough about Jessica’s work. I volunteer for Mid America Bully Breed Rescue, and one of my foster dogs had found his forever home. I wanted to have something special, so I could remember this dog. I got in touch with Jessica and asked her if she would be willing to do a photo shoot of him. She willingly agreed.

Jessica picked a great location. Just as the sun was going down. When I got to see the finished pictures, well there are no words I could have used at that moment to describe how I was feeling. The pictures sent a wave of tears, only because she captured this dogs personality like you would not believe. You might say “my god it’s just a dog”, but to those in rescue, they are our world. They are special and Jessica’s personality brought that out in the dog. Not to mention but her husband was there and between the two of them……….what a great team. They compliment each other.

I hope that if you are reading this that you will book an appointment with her, you will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to our next session.

The Spiegel Family would like to personally recommend the services of Jessica Strom Photography. Over the past few years, we have had the incredible pleasure of working with Jessica. We greatly cherish the way she includes emotional intensity in every picture she takes, which allows them to come to life. Especially through candid shots, she brings feelings and relational warmth to her photography, which is what most professional photos can lack. When I look at the pictures she has taken, I truly feel something. Jessica sees and appreciates the most beautiful simple moments, and turns them into emotional, beautiful pictures.

We love the way she is always able to capture the personality and essence of each member of our family, especially our daughter. Over the changing stages of her life, each session with Jessica was new and different, with whole new needs and obstacles. She is always so adaptable, and gets amazing shots every time. Because she knows how to handle all different ages, in all different settings. She is truly such a pleasure to work with, we always leave her sessions feeling on top of the world, after having such a fun day together as a family.

It is not only her abilities and skills as a photographer, but also her accommodating spirit and attention to detail that set her apart. Especially her service, she is so quick to respond to any need, and also marvelous when it comes to retouching and finishing the photos. But, is also helpful and courteous when you need or want something done differently. She is an incredible listener, and truly cares about what we want. Jessica has always gone above and beyond to help us create the exact finished product we were looking for!

These memories will be treasured forever and we look forward to years of continued exceptional service from Jessica Strom Photography.

My Husband and I won a “mini session” with Jessica through her Facebook page. Our session was only supposed to be 30 minutes, but she went waaaaay longer! She had great ideas for poses and was very comfortable to work with. Even my husband who hates to have his picture taken loved our session. Her husband, Daniel, came along and helped Justin come up with some “manly” poses, Daniel even managed to break out the “duck dance” when our smiles were becoming too forced. Jessica was a blast! She’s down to earth and not afraid to get down and dirty to get the right shot! I would recommend her to anyone, in fact, I already have!!

Travis and I met Jessica about a year ago when we found out that she was a photographer. We got in on a “bonus” promotion that she was doing. She catered our session to something Travis and I love….time on the lake! Yes, she came out to the boat to take some pictures of us during a lovely summer sunset! She had SO many creative ideas, and she captured some phenomenal shots!! (My mother in law loved the shots so much that we booked an “extended” family session with Jessica a few months later.) You will get SO MUCH MORE than just your everyday shots when you work with Jessica. She looks for the poses that aren’t cheesy or posed…she finds the beauty in everyday life! Plus, she is super sweet and laid back!! Thanks, Jessica!

This was our family’s first time getting professional pictures taken outside of a store studio and it will not be the last! Jessica made the session so fun from beginning to end and the end results were wonderful. We highly recommend Jessica and cannot wait for another session!

We were very pleased with our experience with Jessica. She had great ideas for outdoor location and interacted well with all of us (including three young children). Her husband Daniel was a great help with the kids during the shoot, too. We feel that her services were a great value, and that the photos we received were an heirloom that we’ll enjoy displaying for many years to come.
