Our Story
I am Jessica Lapp, a Charlottesville-based photographer, and artist at heart. Growing up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, I was raised to value hard work, community, and connection. My journey as a photographer began with music, painting, and drawing. As I picked up a camera at 16, I found my true passion. Wedding photography soon became my heart and soul. Living in Central Virginia, I draw inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding me. My family, including my husband, Steve, and our daughter, Evelyn, bring me joy and fulfillment.
