About
Life is too important to be taken seriously.
We never understand the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Photographers are our eyes to the world. I live for freezing those memorable moments in your life! A photograph is a piece of art, the world is the artist and the photographer is just a witness. Black foto will strategically set up your session/event with an attention to detail as if it is your own, resulting in a perfectly executed result.
Photography isn’t just about the money. It’s about capturing those moments that will last a lifetime.

I was amazed at the quality of the photos. She did an excellent job on every pose. Extremely professional and very creative.
She was instrumental in making family memories. In addition, I recieved the proofs the same day.
I will definitely use her again for future family reunions and events.
She is also kid friendly and patient. I have nothing but good things to say about Black foto LLC!

Jessica went above and beyond to get us our perfect engagement photos! She was very helpful and knowledgeable in suggesting shoot locations and extremely patient answering my endless questions. She even went out of her way to provide a prop for some poses and didn’t make us feel rushed at all, making sure that we got all the photos we wanted and that we would be happy with the end results. I cannot say enough great things about working with Jessica!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I often consult or visit with a new customer briefly to get an idea of what they are looking for. As I prep/plan for their event or session I will reach out in order to get to know them a bit better as I have questions. This usually allows for a connection and the ability to feel more comfortable with each other. Photography results are 100 times better when clients are comfortable with the one behind the camera and that is always important to me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We operate a professionally run business, and education and training are very important to us.
We are experts who collaborate and learn from other experts in our field.
Completion of courses, The visual and Performing Arts, Digital Photography, Digital Design, Photographic design, Film and Video
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Photographs are the universal language of our era. Everyone has hundreds, maybe thousands in their pocket. Weightless they turn the scale when the argument is: What happened here? Images don’t age or warp. A great photographers strings never go out of tune. It is for this reason that we need photographers. I love being apart of the group who sorts all the chaos of the world into images.
I shoot because I see. Because I find peace in being a vigorous advocate for a cause. I shoot because if I don’t, I don’t know who will.
