Harrisburg Newborn & family photographer
Welcome to
Jessica Mae Photography
For the mother who wants heirlooms, not just beautiful photos. Who wants to be in the frame, not just behind it. Who wants her children to one day hold an image and know without question how deeply they were loved from the very beginning.
GET TO KNOW ME
I'm a Harrisburg newborn photographer, a mom of three, a lover of tacos, sourdough, The Office, and coffee that's been reheated at least twice — and I have spent years behind a camera watching people experience some of the most sacred moments of their lives.
I started out photographing weddings, but somewhere along the way — right around the time I became a mother myself — I realized where my heart truly lived. It was in the quiet of a newborn's first days. In the way a mama looks at her baby when she thinks no one is watching. In the ordinary, extraordinary chaos of a family just being together.
That's where I found my purpose. And I've never looked back.
I believe mothers deserve to be seen — truly seen — in the story of their own families. These images aren't just photographs. They're heirlooms. And making them for you is the greatest honor of my work.

When I was 4 months postpartum Jess managed to make me look and feel beautiful when I felt nothing but exhausted, bloated, and haggard. The photos we received blew me away. In a time of my life that felt blurry, Jess saved me. I am so grateful for the pictures she took and how much they mean to me.
