My HEART & SOUL
From the moment we begin, my goal is to create a calm, comfortable experience where you can be yourselves as I capture what matters most.
Photo sessions are meant to be playful, fun, and engaging. My passion as a photographer is to create photographs that feel beautiful, heartfelt, and meaningful for years to come. Clients feel the images I have created become lifetime heirlooms, and enjoy having custom photo art of their families displayed proudly in their homes.
The greatest invention of all time
is the camera. Photos are a way of
sharing and archiving what matters most to us
Garden
" Finding wonderful locations to photograph in is a fine art in it's self. Jessica Anne is known for her award winning portraits photographed in her San Ramon garden setting. Her talent shows not only in her portrait work, but in her ability to take a small piece of land and make it into one of the most appreciated sites to be photographed in.
The garden is stunning and natural and complimented by a vast array of flowers that bloom from spring to late fall. This delightful setting includes vintage doors from around the world, charming stone pathways, garden benches, vintage wagons and a custom stone cottage! All carefully designed by Jessica for her portrait art."
The experience
Sessions are designed to feel natural and connected, with just enough direction to help everyone settle in. I'll focus on movement, interaction, and genuine moments so your gallery feels both natural and deeply personal. The result is a collection of images that looks beautiful and feels like you.
Artwork
Your photographs deserve to live beyond the screen. From fine art prints to heirloom albums, your images can be preserved in beautiful, tangible ways that bring your memories into everyday life. These are the pieces you’ll reach for years from now and be grateful you kept. In addition to the vast array of fine art print finishes, digital packages are offered to share with family and friends.

The name "Creative Images by Jessica" really DOES do her justice. I love how creative her work is. Not to mention a great, sweet lady...and not only when she's behind the camera! My family has been using Jessica since I had a baby bump. She did an amazing photo shoot with my (then almost 1-year-old) son and my almost bursting baby belly! The tricks she used to get my son to interact with his soon to be baby sister! We've gone back to Jessica throughout the years and my kids are now 13 and 12!

Jessica is a true artist and her photos are beautiful. She has a great way of connecting with her clients and she is great with kids. My very active five year old stayed engaged and interested during our one-hour Mommy and daughter photo shoot. Her personal garden is beautiful and as a result, our photos are lovely.

Jessica has been my professional photographer for over twenty years. She has photographed my wedding, baby photos, family photos on-site in her beautiful backyard garden and off-site on Mount Diablo. I'm so looking forward to her photographing my oldest daughter next year for her senior year. She is super talented, always professional, kind-hearted, and will put in the extra effort to give you that great shot! I highly recommend her!!

I have worked with Creative Images by Jessica for 11+ years now. She has beautifully photographed our pregnancies and my growing children since day one. She is a true artist and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to families who want to capture priceless moments that we continue to treasure everyday. She's even great with pets!

We received a photo shoot with Jessica as a gift and what a gift it turned out to be! Most importantly, the pictures she took were truly phenomenal. Despite her questionable subject material (our little family includes an incredibly active 2 year old and we'd never had our photos professionally taken before), she worked magic and produced an absolutely stunning set of photos. She kept our daughter as engaged as possible and captured her spirit with ease. It's worth noting that her garden is a breathtaking backdrop, and it feels a little bit like wandering into an enchanted forest.
It would be tough to oversell how comfortable she made us, or how accommodating and understanding she was through the entire process - from leading up to the photo shoot, working swiftly during the photo shoot to maximize the light and toddler laughs, and even after when we reviewed and selected the images that were best (with some help and guidance from the expert). Jessica was professional, patient and kind and is clearly a lovely human with lots of talent. If you're looking for a set of family portraits but have never had any taken in the past, you won't be disappointed by Jessica or her work.

My family and I had the pleasure of having Jessica take family/ maternity photos for us. She was absolutely wonderful to work with! Jessica was patient with my children and I truly felt that she connected with us and brought out our personalities in the photographs. Not only is she very talented and her photos are stunning but she takes the time to connect personally with her clients. Jessica won't give up until she gets the right shot! We received our photos in only a couple weeks! We are planning on having her take new born photos when our baby is born. I would highly recommend Jessica! She is a fabulous photographer and it was a pleasure working with her. Becky G
Jessica is amazing! We purchased a sitting/picture package through a local elementary school fundraiser (learned that she gives away her services to many local charities and fundraisers) for an annual family picture. Getting two snarky teens to smile at the same time is not easy. The photos came out fantastic! Her back/side yards are amazing backdrops for a variety of poses. We are repeat customers and come back every year - this year with our two new 'fur-babies' puppies. Again, the pictures were amazing. Not only is she talented...Jessica is an absolute pleasure to work with..very clear on pricing, services. We always purchase both prints (because the quality is great) as well as digital files (sold for a separate fee). Cannot recommend her services enough. An experience you will not regret.

Couldn't be more Happy! Our grown kids were all going to be in town for an event at the same time and I wanted an updated family Portrait since one of our children is moving out of the country. Jessica went out of her way to find a time with just a few weeks notice and fit our family in for a portrait session. I just reviewed the results yesterday and they are FABULOUS! Jessica is very creative and has a wonderful yard setting - there were so many beautiful pictures it was hard to narrow down and choose but she was also very helpful with that too! To me this was very reasonably priced. We had similar portraits done by someone else 8 years ago and Jessica's pricing is right in line. I feel that her style is more like art ( not just a photo) I will treasure this and again am grateful for her making this so easy.
