One particular thing I want to work on this year is keeping things cleaned out and to a minimum. We lived in a one bedroom apartment or small rental for years and now that we own a home I am determined to not fill every nook and cranny. I love open and “white” space. It […]

Hello 2020! I can hardly believe it! When I look back on 2019 I realize how much you-my clients-propelled my year forward and made some of my happiest memories.  I have some exciting things planned for Jessica Burdge Photography in the coming year and I hope you stick around for it. My hope is to […]

My friend Liz and I got were sitting at our favorite local coffee shop and she mentioned how fun it would be to go to New York City over Christmas time. I love everything about bustling cities at Christmas and all the lights and told her I was in! We met at Union Station at […]

This year both sides of our family aren’t giving Christmas gifts. I adore giving gifts but it does quickly become so distracting from the real meaning of Christmas. We, of course will get the grandchildren a little something; but in case you need a few last minute gift ideas here are several ideas: Good set […]

Once a summer, I take the children I nanny to Pennsylvania for the day to play at my Mom’s house. We left early in the morning, excitement was running high and we were prepared for the 2 hour trip with lots of snacks and our favorite audio books. (current favorite: The Long Winter) I just […]

It’s been awhile since I shared a few of my favorite things so let’s drive right in! The Open Door Sisterhood, On Photography with Mary Marantz. This was one of my favorite podcasts that I have listened too in a long time. She has such a genuine heart and explains the importance of printing photos […]
