I remember my Grandma Myers tending to her plants with such care and they would grown and blossom and I always thought how easy it looked. Well, until I tried it for myself I didn’t realize the time and diligence you have to spend to get a house full of lovely greens. But through Covid […]

Last Friday we celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. And by celebrated, I mean we both opened the ice cream shop and then I drove to PA to photograph a wedding. Several years ago I would have looked at us and felt sad. Sure, a trip to Puerto Rico (our favorite place on the earth) would’ve […]

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.

Eat. Shop. Linger. All three of these things I enjoy doing (well, the shopping is debatable. I get restless and am a power shopper. I’m ready to leave the store in about ten minutes. I do love Amazon though…) and they all come together beautifully at the barn sale. This year could not have been […]

Hi Friends! Here’s another collection of random things I’ve been enjoying lately. If you have anything you want to share with me, I’d love to see them in the comments below. It’s so fun seeing what you all are up to as well. Farmer’s Flame Candles -this time of year I love waking up, starting […]

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 […]
