Capturing Love Stories in Nature’s Warmest Light

Laid-back, timeless photographs for nature lovers + animal lovers alike

Hello + Welcome!

I am so glad you made it here.
I am your photographer,

Jess Mumme

A woman with long blonde hair smiling and holding a camera in a pine forest during daytime.

After spending the last 6 years hiking the Colorado mountains and Minnesota pines, I’ve finally landed in Northeast Michigan with my hubby and dogs, ready to explore the Great Lakes. I’ve been photographing love for 12 years, and my happy place is still chasing water and finding quiet, tucked-away spots that feel like the world belongs only to us for a little while.

My biggest goal is that you leave a session relaxed and happy—no stiff poses, just you, the people (and pups) you love most, and photos that feel like home in hopes that you have heirlooms you’ll still love in fifty years. <3

(P.S. If you ever spot a girl rock-hunting on the shores of Lake Huron with an IPA in hand… that’s probably me. Come say hi.)
