Hi, I’m Jess!

Senior, Family, Pet & Wedding Photographer

At Chasing Wildlight Photography, I believe the most meaningful stories live in the quiet, in-between moments. The sun slipping behind the trees, a laugh carried by the wind, a fleeting glance that says everything. My work is grounded in nature, filled with bold color and golden light, and made for those who want to hold onto the now. This is more than photography: it’s an artful record of your wild, beautiful, unforgettable moment in time.

Based in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Chasing Wildlight Photography specializes in senior portraits, couples, families, pets, elopements, and weddings throughout North Carolina and Southwest Virginia. Inspired by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the places we love most, I create heartfelt images that celebrate connection, adventure, and the people who matter most. Whether we're chasing golden light along the Blue Ridge Parkway, exploring a small-town downtown, or documenting a milestone close to home, my goal is simple: to create meaningful photographs you'll treasure for years to come.
