JLMay Photography bio picture
  • hi.

    i'm jessica.

    i have a passion for photography and an endless supply of inspiration. i love shooting sessions during the gorgeous sundrenched hour before sunset, whether that's in an over run feild with heirloom quilts or your favorite spot in the city. i also have a love for shooting families in their truest element. lifestyle photography is quickly becoming another love. there is something so special to me about watching a family's love and capturing those precious moments together.

    i love to combine both modern portraiture and lifestyle moments into every session to give my the best of everything. i have found that it is often the little in-between-moments that are sometimes the the most special.

L is Turning 2 | Tomball, TX Children’s Photographer

I met L’s mom a little over three months ago when I began my student teaching assignment. We worked alongside one another for three whole months and she taught me everything I know about being a teacher. The first time we met and discovered that our daughters were the same age, we said that they would be best friends. They have hung out twice now, and yes, they are totally BFFs. But who wouldn’t want to hang out with this cutie?!

Miss you already Jen!

Custom iPhone Case | Houston, TX Photographer

I love offering custom iPhone cases to my clients!  I have one on my phone with a picture of my daughter and I cannot even begin to tell you how many comments I get on this thing.  I have people showing off MY iPhone case to THEIR friends.  I tell you, people go crazy over these!  I was pretty happy with the cases I was previously offering until I found an awesome new case to offer that provides the kind of protection that the other cases did not.  I’m embarrassed to admit how often my phone gets dropped daily.

And because I want YOU to have an awesome, customized, and protective case on your phone too, I am offering a limited time promotion on custom iPhone cases to all of my lovely clients!  From today until Friday April 25, 2013 you can get your customized iPhone case for only $60!! (regularly $90)

Custom iPhone Case
$90 $60

These custom iPhone cases are available in all sizes from the ancient iPhone 3 all the way to the new iPhone 5!  You can choose from one of my 6 templates or choose to have your gorgeous image take up the entire back of your case.

I am so excited about these new cases that I am offering this limited time price to everyone, not just past clients!  To order your custom iPhone case, leave a comment on this post telling me which case you would like.  The name and number will be above each case.  Then, email me high resolution image which you purchased from me; this is the easiest way for me to ensure that I create your case with the image you want.  If you did not purchase your images email me and I will help you with your design!

If you have NOT had a session with me, do not worry, you can still take advantage of this deal!  If you are interested in one of these super cute cases, simply purchase one of the cases just like a past client would and we will book your session and you can choose the image for your case at your session premiere!  Anyone who books a session with the purchase of a custom iPhone case will receive $100 off their session fee!  (Offer available Apr. 23- Apr. 25)

MJ | Texas Bluebonnet Photographer

It’s a Texas tradition.  Every spring people search for the bluest and fullest fields.  The highways are flooded with our state flower and moms and photographers alike trying to get the perfect picture of their kids.  I am no exception.

Molly is a march baby.  Born in the midst of bluebonnet season.  The first picture her outside of the hospital was in a bluebonnet field.  I kid you not.  We literally stopped in a neighborhood on the way home from the hospital that we knew had a good and safe field.  She was in her car seat the entire time, bundled up and warm.  You can barely see her.  But I have that first bluebonnet picture and I will take her kicking and screaming for each annual picture for life if I have to.  I’m a crazy Texan that way.

Thankfully she had a lot of fun this year!  We made a date of it: invited a friend, drove out to Chapel Hill, and ended the day with bluebell ice cream.  It was a good Sunday.


I rarely do any bluebonnet pictures in black and white….but I LOVE the mood in this one!

xoxo,
Jessica
