{ modern lifestyle and boudoir photography with vintage flair }
Bonjour! My name is Jessica Leigh Morrisy, I am a photographer and graphic designer from the Jersey Shore specializing in lifestyle portraiture: weddings, portraits, Goddess/boudoir, and children's portraits- you name it. When I don't have my camera in hand, I am working as a graphic designer... creating logos, branding, packaging, etc... Both of my interests keep me buzzing, so this blog is a place to keep clients and potential clients posted on my recent happenings as well as giving some insight into who I am as an artist.
I feel blessed to say I love what I do. This profession enables me to incorporate all that I love, art, style, design, travel, love, relationships, and people. It is truly a joy.
Thanks for stopping by...please sign up for my mailing list! I'd love to hear from you!
My second family, recently launched their new vintage store…Perfectly Vintage. I am so happy for my dear friends, and I know they are going to have the best jewelry and accessories! Trust me these girls are super stylish.
I think Courtney and John’s meeting was kismet…they fell in love and they rest was history. I’m so happy for them and wish them so much happiness for their future together. Our engagement shoot was hilarious…Court and I were positive we had gained an additional hour of light from daylight savings, but in fact, we had lost an hour of light! We made the best of the sunset and will be continuing our shoot on the beach. The location they chose was close to their hearts, Red Bank’s Marina Park is where Courtney’s father proposed to her mother over 25 years ago…so cute!
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who walked for The Cure this weekend! The turn out was amazing…there were men, women, children, even dogs out to show their support. Next year we will start the team earlier, but all in all I think it was a success. I also want to give Randi a shout out for her determination to kick cancer’s butt. Whoo hoo, thanks team Pretty in Pink:)
xoxo,
Jess
As many of you may already know, I disagree with the way society looks at the female form. The media’s perception of beauty is unrealistic and unhealthy because real women cannot be satisfied with their appearance according to current standards. The typical women is NOT 5’10”, 110 pounds, but for some reason artist’s since ancient Greece have been elongating the body to enhance beauty. While I do think some of this art is beautiful, when will the public realize that natural is still beautiful and truly embrace real women?
I found this on youtube, a promotional piece put out by Dove. My view, as a photographer, is to enhance the natural beauty that I see in my subjects…not to distort it into something unreal, unhealthy, and fallacious.
