Hi! I'm Jess!
Hendricks
(like the gin, not Jimi)
I'm happiest when I'm behind the camera, turning moments into memories you'll look back on for years to come. Whether it's a milestone, a celebration, or you just want to freeze this chapter of your life, I believe your photo session should feel fun, easy, and completely you!
I'll guide you every step of the way! My goal is simple: create an environment where you can relax, be yourself, and actually enjoy having your picture taken.
At the end of the day, these aren't just photos—they're pieces of your story - and I can't wait to help tell yours!
who i am when i am not behind the lens..
01.
I was born and raised in teeny-tiny town in Pennsylvania, took a fun detour to Chicago for a few years, and eventually found my home in Orlando, FL, where I spent nearly two decades. Recently, I traded palm trees (and unfortunately, my year-round tan) for four seasons and moved to Alexandria, VA to continue doing what I love—working in the performing arts.
Outside of work, life revolves around my two fat cats (who absolutely run the house) and my favorite title yet: Aunt to my three adorable nephews and niece.

I am a theatre NERD 🎭 As a Production Manager and Stage Manager, I love all the behind-the-scenes magic that brings a production to life.
I spent 10 years working at Walt Disney World, where I fell in love with storytelling and immersive experiences. I continued that journey by designing theme park attractions and shows for Universal Creative. Needless to say, I have a pretty deep appreciation for creativity, details, and a little bit of magic!

I’m always off on a new adventure, whether I'm hitting the pavement for a run, finding a new challenge, or at Sunday evening practices! I’m an avid runner and have completed more than 30 half marathons! Since moving to the DMV, I’ve picked up indoor rowing (you can find me there every morning before work) and have recently rediscovered my love for cheerleading. I’m proud to cheer for the local PCA team - Cheer DC!
