I'm Jess, the girl behind the lens of Candid Connection Photography. Unlike some photographers who always knew they loved taking pictures, I actually didn't find my passion for photography until a little later in life. I mean, don't get me wrong, as a teenager, I loved a good selfy! But my true passion for capturing moments behind the lens didn't begin until my oldest son was a year old. My husband and he were playing at the park by our house, and as I watched them I just felt inspired! I wanted to remember the look on my son's face, and my husband playing and laughing with him. So I decided to whip out my phone and take some shots. Now, those first shots are not exactly what I would call "portfolio worthy" but every time I look at them I am so happy to have that moment to remember forever. I'll never forget that day. I fell in love with capturing moments and I knew this was something I wanted to be able to give back to others in a big way. I love being able to freeze a memory of emotion in time for couple to look back on for years to come and remember exactly how they felt during one of the happiest times of their lives.
