About Jess

With a background in photography, art, teaching, fashion & design, and after working as a life skills and art tutor, Jess launched her own wedding and portrait photography venture, later expanding into natural skincare, botanical products and remedies. She also dedicated a year to observing and photographing wild food, a project that deepened her connection to nature.

Jess’ passions have always centred around storytelling, creativity and her connection to nature. Now based in north Sheffield, Jess has a young family, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District. Jess spends her days tending her allotment, exploring the peaks, or getting lost in books about wild adventures and strong female characters. You can find out more about Jess’ work here.
