Meet Eric. He is my love, my business partner and a creative genius. He is why Simply Jessie Photography exists. Why you may ask since it is my name in the title? Because he believes in me. He is a dreamer, a visionary and entrepreneur. I know it’s a little weird to talk about our relationship when talking business, but it is with our love story that this business started and why our doors stay open.
Eric is our creative director. He has created everything that you see and appreciate visually. He has done all of our branding, font selection, business cards, teasers, outdoor sign, studio layout, color selection, website development , etc etc… see what I mean? Oh, and did I also mention that he is a fantastic photographer? When we shoot a wedding, he is my wing man, firing off lots of candids and keeping us all on our timeline. He is also our studio photographer. He is an experienced product photographer, well versed in headshots and onto his new and upcoming project “Profiles”. (its coming soon, but I’ll let him do the big unveil)
I know, I know… it leaves you with the question… What in the world do I do?? But that is for another day.
It’s true. He’s a rockstar.

I love rainy day sessions. I know for many a rainy forecast for your session can be a disappointment, but they always end up being so personal and a day to remember. Kristine is so flexible and relaxed so this forecast didn’t even concern her. We hopped in a cab and popped around downtown with … Continue reading

You left out sexy. He’s got that goin for him too.
You left out hairy too.
Eric looks great with a beard, but I think that he would look even better with a mustache. Would you pass that on to him Jessie?
