International wedding and portrait photographer

{ 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!

{ Counting My Blessings }

Posted in Personal

This Thanksgivings was one of the best yet. Thinking about it reminds me of the song “Count your blessings” from the movie White Christmas. It is a beautiful reminder of all the things we have to be grateful for…

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS (Instead of Sheep)

(Irving Berlin)
from the 1954 movie “White Christmas”.

When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings

This year I am so thankful. Here are just some of the things I am thankful for:

I have the most wonderful family and friends. I don’t think I would be the woman I am today without the love and support of these people. Mom, Dad, Jennie, Jenn, Chris, and Tom…you guys rock! Oh and a special shout out to Jenn Y…she is the best pseudo big sister a girl could ask for!

I am so excited that I am going to be an aunt twice this year! My best friend since grammar school Michelle had her beautiful baby girl Ava two weeks ago, and my sister in law Jenn is expecting too! I am beyond thrilled!

I also have the most incredible boyfriend Mike who reminds me everyday how amazing love can be. I don’t know how I got so lucky…

I have the BEST woofers. Spencer and Noah make each day special.

I am so grateful to do what I love. Each day I get to meet and share special moments with my wonderful clients. I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Lastly, I am super grateful for the wonderful adventures I have had this year. I got to meet the most amazing kindred spirits, who also share my love for photography at the Jasmine Star workshop and also the The Boudoir Divas workshop. Being surrounded by these people has been so inspiring, it kind of gives me butterflies!

Thank you for sharing my blessings:) Happy Thanksgiving!!!

{ Sarah & Mike • Manasquan NJ • Pumpkin Patch Engagement }

Posted in Engagement Session, Manasquan NJ, Photography

The second I first heard Sarah’s email voice, I knew we were immediately going to hit it off. She has such a likable way, it even translates into her emails! When we first met…it was like speaking with a friend I’ve had for years. Sarah wore cowboy boots to our consultation…which are totally awesome! When it came time to pick a location for the engagement session, it was easy…

THE PUMPKIN PATCH!

Sarah and Mike were so cute when they retold the story of their engagement. Sarah was coming home from a business trip- hoping he’d pick her up from the airport. Mike did not offer to pick her up at the airport. She was bewildered he had not offered… What was he up to? As she arrived in the driveway he was holding a sign that read “Marry Me.” At that point she got over the ride situation:)

Sarah and Mike are such sweet people. They are so warm and caring with each other and their “furry kids”…and fun! They know how to have a good time. The “thinker” pose was all them..I was cracking up.

Thank you Sarah and Mike for including me in your special memories- I can’t wait to shoot your wedding next fall!

{ Bridal Boutique }

Posted in Bridal Tips, Photography

Happy Friday! I have so much to share…I am just jumping with excitement!

In the meantime, here is an awesome resource for those stylish brides out there. Wedding Chicks has a boutique where fashion forward brides can purchase everything from wedding signs to bridal party tees. I can speak from experience, their line is beautiful. I purchased tees for my sisters wedding last June, and now when I wear my bridesmaid tee with my pj’s, it reminds me of that wonderful memory. The tees and banners also make for wonderful details in your wedding photos, and they are super cute! Check them out:)
