Well... this was a fun to wake up to today. ❤️🎅
I'm incredibly honored to be featured by the Springfield Daily Citizen in an article about Santa's 417 Workshop, Holiday Photo Magic, and the journey that brought me here.
Starting out as a photographer, I never imagined that one day I'd build a year-round Christmas studio where families create memories together and Santas from across the country would come to embrace their stories.
Photography has never been just about taking pictures for me. It's about creating experiences, preserving wonder, and capturing stories that families will treasure for generations.
Thank you to Jym Wilson and the Springfield Daily Citizen for taking the time to visit the studio and share the heart behind what we do. Thank you to every Santa, Mrs. Claus, family, and client who has trusted me over the years as each of you have been part of this journey.
Most of all, thank you to everyone who has supported me through the years. This article isn't just about me—it's about a dream that so many people have helped bring to life.
If you'd like to read the story, I've included the link below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed sharing it.
❤️ Jessica
P.S. If one child leaves believing just a little more in kindness, wonder, and the magic of Christmas, then I've done my job.

Being a baby and child photographer was my speciality for nearly 20 years. Although I stepped away for the past decade to pursue other work, it was such a blessing to photograph Ruthie today. Not only did it bring back the joy I have always feel working with babies and children, knowing how these photos will forever embrace this very special time of her babyhood. Especially since I photographed her Mommy when she was a child! Oh the fun we are going to have as we capture this upcoming year for their baby plan and album.

First let me say THANK YOU to those who have donated to me directly and through my GoFundMe. It's literally a blessing to be alive after my accident, and to be recovering so swiftly. My road burns are nearly gone, and last night I was able to roll over to my side for a little bit. I can still feel the fluid buildup and 'pressure burn' in my muscles but it's decreasing. I am able to drive (woo hoo) and my range of motion is slowly returning to my leg. It still hurts but I can feel it getting stronger too. Seriously, I am not a person that asks for help so doing this GoFundMe is completely out of my comfort zone. Yet, every penny has genuinely helped get back on my feet especially at the beginning of the month. It feels so good to return to work, slowly I will get there and looking around I greatly appreciate all the prayers and help. Mucho Love ❤️

Since my accident people have been asking if there is anything they could do for me. Honestly, having a little help making ends meet is the biggest battle I am facing right now. Alec suggested I make a GoFundMe request, although asking for help is not something I would normally do, I see his point. Sometimes people want to help even if it's just sending $20 to lighten my load. I already shared the GoFundMe link, but here is my tip jar that I use at events if you would prefer to send help directly. I'm trying not to let this slow me down, and I am recovering. It simply takes time. Again, thanks for your support and kindness during this time.

I was talking to my son that the next few months are going to be pretty lean as my accident has interrupted my ability to work. He convinced me to start a GoFundMe campaign because it could help us. I am so grateful for all the get well wishes, gifts, and encouragement I have received thus far. This accident albeit painful and unfortunate, I'm simply happy to still be alive as this could have been far far worse. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. Mucho Love! ❤️
