hey, i’m jess

Hey Girl started with one very important girl — my daughter, Luka.

Watching her grow up has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’ve seen her friendships blossom, change, and circle back again — the laughter, the little fallouts, the sleepovers, the whispered secrets, and the quiet ways confidence starts to bloom. It’s such a beautiful, messy, magical part of growing up — girlhood in all its forms.

Somewhere along the way, I realised I didn’t just want to watch those moments pass by — I wanted to help girls see how special they are right now. To help them feel confident, supported, and proud of their friendships and who they’re becoming, with care, intention, and the experience of a professionally trained and accredited photographer behind the lens.

That’s why I created Hey Girl — a space to celebrate girlhood, connection, and confidence at every age. Whether you’re 8 or 48, friendship matters. These are the moments that shape us — the inside jokes, the giggles, the fearless energy that comes from being surrounded by your people.

When I photograph you and your friends, it’s never about perfect poses. It’s about capturing who you really are — relaxed, happy, and completely yourselves. Because one day, you’ll look back at these photos and remember exactly how it felt to belong, to laugh until your cheeks hurt, and to grow up together.

And you’ll be so glad you did.
