{ Teaser • Sarah’s Brooklyn Bridge Bridal Shoot }

{ Great Expectations • Samantha Jane • Newborn Portrait }
It was a Thursday evening. My sister Jennie, her husband Tom, Mike, and I all waited at the diner for THE phone call. My sister and I teased about who would get the call first…you see, we were waiting to hear from my parents about the birth of our first niece or nephew. Jennies’ phone rang as my text ringer chimed….”IT’S A GIRL!” We were all jumping out of our seats! I guess my parents know Jennie and I well, cause they dialed at the exact same time! We immediately paid the check and rushed over to Riverview to congratulate my brother Chris and his beautiful wife Jenn….and to welcome the newest member of the Morrisy Clan! Dearest Samantha Jane.
Words can’t express the feelings that were rushing through all of us that night- all I can say is there was so much love and family pride present. To see my brother, holding his baby girl…was the most amazing thing ever. He looked so humbled by the new life before him. I think we all were- such a miracle.
She is beautiful- and I am not just saying that cause she is my niece! I am simply in love with her. Isn’t her red hair is the cutest?!! Here are some of her newborn portraits…but there will be many more to come!
- Congratulations!! She is downright gorgeous!!
- That first shot is BEAUTIFUL! What a amazingly perfect little one! Great job!

{ Jasmine Star Workshop • Orange County CA }
In November, I attended the fabulous Jasmine Star’s Branding Workshop- which was AH=MAZING! Jasmine and JD put together a truly wonderful day and experience for the photographers who attended…where dreams are possible.
Jasmine took the leap and started her business a few years ago- and has built it into something wonderful. Not only does she have a huge blog following, but is also a super talented photographer. I am not gonna lie- I think all of us attendees were pretty star struck! My boyfriend Mike sat next to her at dinner- and I almost said to him- move so someone who really appreciates her can sit there! Ok that would have been abit overboard but you get the idea. She is a rockstar in the wedding photography world. Oh and by the end of the trip, Mike agreed that Jasmine and JD were rockstars!
Jasmine breaks things down in such a way, that no question is silly, and that everyone is equal and can do what they love. The trick…your heart has to be in it- and YOU are your brand. Everything else will fall into place. I believe that.
Live your dream. As many of you may know- I am also a graphic designer, which has really helped me in so many ways. However, I have recently made the choice to start phasing out my design for my true love and dream. Photography is something that I LOVE beyond words- and I am so lucky to be able to share this with the world. I wouldn’t have it any other way:)
Since the workshop I have thought about my brand- Jessica Leigh Morrisy Photography. What do I want my clients to know about who I am and what my goal is as an artist and a person. I decided…and this was a BIG one for me- to have my blog and branding designed by an outside design company. I think by allowing someone else to see my vision- I might finally get the cohesive brand I have always wanted but couldn’t see for myself. Stayed tuned in the next month or so for my new look! I am jumping out of my seat excited!
So here are some shots taken at the workshop. California sunlight is just spectacular!
xoxo
- Girl, seriously these images rock!!! Love them! Can't wait to see your rebranding :)

- Jess, These are gorgeous!! xo,M
- i agree with everyone, beautiful. i love the softness and prettiness of your photographs. cant wait to see your new branding too jesser!

{ Jasmine Star Workshop • Attendees Portrait Session • Laguna Beach CA }
Sometimes the stars align perfectly, and you meet your soul mate. Well, in this particular case, I met a class full! In November I attended the Jasmine Star Workshop- which has changed my life forever. The workshop was fabulous, but what amazed me most were the friendships that I walked away with. I never imagined that I would meet so many kindred spirits.
It all started over social networking…yes facebook! Where would we be without it. Anyway, we started a group that included everyone from the workshop. We got to know each other before meeting which was wonderful and arranged a get together to shoot some headshots for eachother. (Yes even photographers need their photos taken!) We met in Laguna Beach for portraits and deep dish pizza! The perfect afternoon. My boyfriend Mike and I even had our portraits taken…(poor guy- no pressure or anything!) The following are some portraits I shot of the amazing photographers I had the pleasure of meeting. Check out their websites too!
This first shot shows just how excited we are about the workshop! Woo Hoo!
Michelle Lehmann Ocampo is a girl after my own heart- she loves Anthropologie! Can’t you tell by her super cute outfit!
The Paparazzi!
Anda Marie is such a beautiful person. She has such a lively spirit and fun way!
Keyonna Renea was so stylish and had a contagious smile. Oh yeah- she rocked out her portraits with style:)
Julie Spencer Massie was delightful. She is not only funny, but also spreads her enthusiasm of photography.
Gladys Gem is such an awesome person! She is such a tiny person- but has a huge heart:) She was recently engaged to Chris, affectioantely called Mr Gem, so we took some engagement shots. These two are just the sweetest couple- they had a running countdown till there wedding next year. I am so happy for them both and hope to catch up with them again very soon!
I can’t even express in words how much these people mean to me. It it the best feeling in the world to have such an amazing support group and cheerleading squad. I know we will all keep in touch. Not pictured but also dear to me: Radelle Adam Jenson , Anouschka and Ray from Holland, Cassandra and Alicia Lauren (who I am shooting a destination wedding with in Newport this June:) So psyched!
xoxo

{ Sarah & John • Winter Wonderland Wedding • Portraits • Nyack NY }
These are some of my favorite shots of Sarah and John’s winter wedding. We were really lucky with the storm, snow didn’t arrive till the ceremony started. We are able to get some wintery, vintage shots in front of the fabulous 1930’s antique car- with just a gorgeous dusting of snow! I love the way the car, Sarah’s vintage fur shrug, and John in his long overcoat appear – they remind me of a wintery scene in a classic hollywood movie. LOVE IT!
The reception, held at the Nyack Seaport, overlooks the Hudson and has picturesque views of the tapenzee bridge. Unfortunately, the snow had really started to come down at that point, so we weren’t able to get down by the water- but we made due. Sarah put it perfectly on her blog- we were in our own personal “snow globe.”
Congratulations Sarah and John!
{ Sarah & John • Winter Wonderland Wedding • Ceremony • Nyack NY }
Happy 2010! I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! I must say, 2009 was a great year for me personally and professionally, I am somewhat sad to see it go. I went into 2009 with no expectations, but was delightfully amazed to have one of the best years of my life! I feel so blessed, I can hardly wait to see what 2010 has in store!
I am soooooo grateful for the wonderful clients I have been lucky enough to photograph. It is the most amazing feeling when people welcome you into their lives to document their most special moments. They start off as strangers and end up as friends. My clients truly rock:)
Now with that being said, here are the ceremony shots of Sarah and John’s beautiful winter wedding. As I post this, they are probably on the beach in Hawaii….so hope you guys are having a blast!
Enjoy and Happy New Year!
- Gorgeous!!!! Every detail captured beautifully!! You rock, Jess!!
- Jessica, these are incredible! Thank you so much for sharing them all!
- Gorgeous!!! I love it!
{ Sarah & John • Winter Wonderland Wedding • Preparations • Nyack NY }
I feel so blessed to say- I have the best clients!!! Sarah and John exude love. I mean you can truly feel how much they care about eachother when you are with them. Their family and friends are beaming, beaming because the are so happy for them. It is such a beautiful sight to behold.
Sarah is so incredible…she had everything planned for their day perfectly. She was so amazing at planning, but most importantly, she start a blog to document her wedding planning. What a fabulous idea!! I was able to check regularly to see was important to her on her wedding day, each item that she had taken special care selecting, what was specially made, and how important it was. Every detail had a story. When I arrived, every piece fell into place…and I knew exactly how important it was to them.
The wedding was beautiful- even though the northeast encountered a huge winter storm. No one seemed mind at all- in fact, the storm held off till the ceremony was over, and made for some beautiful winter wedding photos.
Here are the preparation photos- stay tuned for the ceremony and portraits:)
