Jessica Sweatt Photography

As a family photographer, my goal is to create more than just pretty pictures — I want to give you an experience that feels effortless, joyful, and true to your story. Whether we’re chasing golden light at the beach a or capturing giggles near a park, I approach every session with patience, creativity, and a genuine love for what I do. I specialize in working with children and families of all ages, and I know how to bring out natural smiles, candid moments, and those quiet in-between looks you’ll treasure forever. From maternity milestones to first birthdays and holiday traditions, I’m here to help you preserve the moments that matter most — beautifully and authentically.

Motherhood Sessions

“Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.” —Robert Browning

Motherhood is one of the most rewarding things you may go through. It is challenging, yet rewarding. It is chaotic, yet peaceful. It is always beautiful.

I would love to have you and your little one(s) by for a session to capture the love and bond of motherhood.

Sessions are located in Duval, Jacksonville

Engagement Sessions

Engagement Sessions are so special to me. I love love. As silly as it sounds it’s true. Being in love is one of the few things in life we get to experience with another person. Finding that right someone is special, so let’s celebrate it!

Let’s celebrate you finding your person with a special engagement session that you have envisioned in your mind. Even if you don’t have any idea what you want to do, I am also here for that too.

Many client’s ask if it is worth doing engagement sessions. The answer is absolutely yes! Once you are married there are very few times you get to celebrate being in love with your person. Might as well capitalize on the moment and go for it.

Engagement sessions are also great to see if you like my work and if our vibes and inspirations mesh well.

Maternity Sessions

These are the most precious moment’s of your journey to motherhood. I would love to capture these time’s with your family. Sessions can take place anywhere you have in mind.

I took these sweet photos of a couple who felt a warm connection to a local nature trail for its beauty and serenity that it brings them. This quiet little trail was the perfect spot for a golden hour session. Little moments like this are easily created in a place you love.

Please feel free to reach out to book a session. Packages are available so I can work with all types of budgets.

Hi, I’m Jessica — a portrait photographer based in Jacksonville, Florida. I specialize in capturing real, heartfelt moments for families, children, and couples. Whether it's the anticipation of a maternity session, the joy of a first birthday, or the cozy magic of holiday portraits, I’m here to help you preserve the seasons of life that matter most.

As a mom and artist, I understand how quickly time moves and how important it is to document the little things — the laughter, the snuggles, the way your child looks at you. My style is relaxed, natural, and full of light, and I strive to create a session experience that feels easy, fun, and authentic to your family.

I photograph sessions throughout the Jacksonville area, including Ponte Vedra, Fruit Cove, and Julington Creek. Whether we're shooting in a sunlit field or a festive seasonal setup, I’ll guide you every step of the way — from planning outfits to helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Thank you for considering me to capture your memories. I’d be honored to tell your story.

Hey there,

Where do shoots take place?

Shoots are done at a local trail right here in Duval Jacksonville! I am open to other destinations if that is desired.

“Jessica was INCREDIBLE! She did a maternity/family shoot for us, and I am in love with the photos! I couldn’t be happier. It was a great experience, she is kind and patient and personable. And, the pictures came out better than I could’ve imagined. I HIGHLY recommend her as a photographer!”
