About by Darius
Jess Ballerstein
If I had to describe myself in one word it would be eccentric. I do what I want, wear what I want and detest anything that feels fake or forced. Capturing raw candids is the goal behind every image. None of the gimmicks or cookie cutter poses. Aside from being a visual artist, I love climbing, eating and creating bomb ass playlists! I am a huge music junkie! If I could play music on website without it looking like Myspace, I would. I can talk for hours about traveling, plants and why Curb your Enthusiasm is one of the greatest shows of all time. Don’t talk to me about 2020, it’s still a sore topic. Otherwise, say hello! :)
“Just be you and do you" is what I tell all my clients and it honestly never fails. You're the subject, you're the art and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Taking photos isn’t just about hitting the shutter, it’s art! I’m an artist and love is my subject of choice. I capture elopements, weddings, couples and maternities for that reason alone.

Unbelievably Happy!
Jess is not only a talented photographer, she is a wonderful person! Jess has an authentic presence that made us feel relaxed and like we were old friends. Jess was an absolute delight to our wedding guests and contributed in making our day feel special and sacred. Jess exceeded all of our expectations & made the entire "wedding photography" process not only easy, but fun! I plan on using Jess for any and all future photo needs & I suggest if you're reading this to do the same!
