Meet the Photographer

Hi everyone! 

I am Jessica Stansell, owner of & photographer at Jessica Stansell Photography. I am 32 years young, married to my best friend, Justin, of 12 years & we have two little boys, Jackson (5) and Judson (2). We live on a 70 acre farm here in the beautiful Mt. Pleasant, Texas where we have 3 dogs (Pink, Jake, Sissy), 2 cats (Kitty Nuts and Cheeto Puff), 17 hens, 2 roosters and 1 pot belly pig (Rosie). That is what happens when you wanted to have 5 children but you settled with the hubby for 2. Hahaha! 

When I am not taking pictures of the most beautiful clients ever, you will find me outside taking care of the herd or on Isle 3 at Target or perhaps lost in the home decor section of TJ Maxx. I also love to cruise Lake Bob Sandlin with the boys and ride the golf cart around our fabulous, country neighborhood seeing who is outside to chat. Before I began my photography career you would have found me in a rainbow colored kinder classroom doing what I was previously so passionate about, teaching the next generation. Now I am capturing their moments and memories!   

Things I love: 

Jesus, Justin, Jack and Juddy, my family, leaving for vacation and the smell of home when you return, Diet Coke, red wine,  dark chocolate salted caramels from Sweet Shop, Nardello's Jimmy Salad, baby lotion, puppy breath, bulldog wrinkles, Sissy's freckle ear, Crossfit TiCo, Angel perfume by Thierry Mugler, neutral nail polish, bubble baths, hearing my children and my husband pray, North Park, laughing until I snort, cooking, baking, home decor, my job.....

What I love most about my job is the ability to express my feelings and emotions through creating beautiful images with my camera and turning them into works of art on my computer.

Each image you receive from me has my name on it in the work that goes into each and every image. I am a hand editor meaning I spend A LOT of time on each image I deliver and place into your gallery. 

What kind of photographer am I?  maternity, newborn, milestone, cake smash, senior, family and just about anything in-between! I hope you have enjoyed getting to know a little more about me, and I cannot wait to meet and get to know YOU!
