Hey, I’m Jess
Photographer, artist, and the heart behind the lens. I live for creating honest, artful images that tell your story exactly as you are. No fake smiles, no cookie cutter poses, just real emotion and connection.
Whether I’m capturing a senior’s wild creativity, a couple’s unfiltered love, or the self-discovery of a boudoir session, my goal is the same: to create something that feels like you. I thrive on working with the dreamers, the misfits, and the souls who want their photos to have meaning not just perfection.
I’m a wife, mom, and coffee-fueled creative who believes that photography isn’t just about pictures it’s about empowerment, growth, and seeing yourself in a new light. If you’re ready to create something that’s a little wild, a little vulnerable, and totally unforgettable, you’re in the right place.

"Owner & photographer, Jessica , was so amazing throughout our whole wedding experience. She caught every special moment ! Not only does she have an amazing artistic eye but she was so much fun and put my mind at ease from start to finish ! She brought our visions to life and was so easy to work with especially with our "not so traditional" wedding pictures . I definitely recommend Ellivin Photography and will definitely use her again in the future !"

"Jessica has been doing my daughters dance pictures for about 4 years now. And she does fun shoots with my daughter also. They have so much fun and the freedom to be who my daughter is just flows. She also did my youngest newborn pictures. She was so gentle and the pictures always come out so beautiful."

"I always leave feeling like a goddess and when I see my pictures it almost makes me cry how could I ever think I wasn't beautiful. These pictures are for me. I do this for myself. And I AM BEAUTIFUL. Jessica makes the entire experience comfortable and fun. You can just feel there isn't any judgement in the air. She's easy to just be yourself and be free with. 💕"

"We say we just need to lose 5 more pounds or that we need to get our hair done, etc. Accept these for what they are- excuses. Take it from an "old lady", the one thing that you never get back is time. You will never look the same tomorrow. I didn't realize this until a few yrs ago and now I regret it. I hid from every possible picture I could. And now I don't have many with my kids or family. It's all lost to time. Please take the leap of faith and try this. I have never felt more comfortable with anyone."

"I have to tell you this was on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally did it and the comfort, positivity, sexiness, and just all around feel good about myself that Jess made me have that day is indescribable. She was sending me my digital prints and I could not figure out which one was my favorite 🤩 so at 56 years old I finally get to check something off my bucket list and I look forward to doing another shoot !"

"I wanted to take a few minutes to send some love to the awesome & amazing Jessica Engelhardt! I did a session with her recently & it was spectacular! I had been thinking about doing a shoot just to push myself out of my comfort zone some & just said what the hell. Jessica was wonderful at helping me to feel a little more comfortable. I had a great experience & look forward to more in the future."
