Birth stories! >> Utah birth Photographer

I was so thrilled to have the opportunity today to discuss birth photography on KSL studio 5! Thanks to everyone who tuned in, and for everyone who missed it, I will post the segment on my blog as soon as it's available online. For those of you who are interested in having your birth photographed, I now have package info available on my website www.jessicakettle.com. Please excuse my wonky site- I'm under construction right now! ;)

2011/2012 schedule

 * just a teeny sneak peek from barrett and amy's wedding in st. george earlier this month. swoon!*

Thank you for all of your inquiries regarding winter 2011 and 2012 weddings! A few notes on my upcoming schedule...

*My last day of shooting before my maternity leave will be October 7th. I will resume shooting in February 2012. 


*At this time, I am booking weddings and limited birth stories only. Ultimately, this is what i love the most and feel is my strength as an artist and feel so lucky to focus on wedding photography! I may eventually return to portrait photography, but for now I'm keeping it simple. Please feel free to contact me with unique or exciting projects, who knows, i may just go for it! ;)

* As always, get the basic information and contact me via MY WEBSITE (which although is under construction and in desperate need of attention, at least now has my contact/pricing info) or directly at jesslkettle@yahoo.com.

tanya + eric, engaged

tanya and eric were absolutely a BLAST to photograph. i had so much fun collaborating with them and i can't WAIT to share their bridals and wedding too! i love the "date" shoot with engagements mixed with portraits, such a fun twist. this may have been my favorite e-session of the year...
