In-House Photographer

Hey y’all! I’m Jessica, of Jessica Peoples Photography. I am located in Southport, Florida (or Panama City depending on who you ask,) but I serve all of Bay County and beyond! I happen to be a proud Military Spouse. My husband Kevin is a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force. We have been married for nearly ten years, and together we have three beautiful children: Chase, Marilynn, and Pierson. We also have two dogs, and six ducks! My children are who inspired me to pick up the camera, and I quickly learned that it was something I loved and wanted to pursue full time! 

In addition to owning my own portrait business, I also do freelance work for GoDaddy. My work consists of just about every genre of photography from product photography, fashion/editorial, families & children, maternity & newborn, sports, couples, and even weddings! That being said, my passion and my heart lies in my work with families and children. As a mom of three, I know the importance of documenting milestones, because children only stay small for so long. As bittersweet as it may be, they don’t just stop growing because we want them to. Before you know it, they are learning to drive, and working their first job. I have captured newborns fresh in the hospital, Senior Portraits, and every milestone in between. I have captured surprise engagements and wedding vows, which lead to new maternity and newborn sessions. I love capturing the cycle of life! I am honored to be considered the “family photographer” of many local families! In fact, many of my clients are like family to me. 

I am a nature lover, and prefer to be outside as much as possible! Gardening is a main hobby of mine, and I have become obsessed with plants and flowers in recent years, which I believe is evident in my work. I teach my children to respect all forms of life, from the plants to the animals, down to the insects. We purchased a separate piece of property last year where we have started an orchard, and planted a variety of plants from flowers to vegetables. We are learning the amount of hard work it takes to grow and maintain our own plants, so we have major respect for farmers across the board! Gardening is a way for us to spend time with our children outside while teaching them valuable skills they will use the rest of their lives. Some of my favorite (and even award winning) images are images I have taken featuring my children and their friends in the garden picking blueberries and vegetables, smelling flowers, running free, and living life to the fullest. That is why I am so thrilled to officially announce that I am now the In-House Photographer at Southern Grace Lavender Farm! I am excited to partner with Jason and Kari to give that same photo opportunity to other families! 

So come on over to the farm and let’s make some beautiful memories you will cherish forever! Life is short, stop and smell the…. Lavender!
