Jessica Byrum is a naturally posed photographer based in Eagle River, Alaska. What does a naturally posed session look like? It looks like us hanging out together, either in your home or at a location we will discuss before your photoshoot. It looks like planning your picture day together, making sure everyone is happy and comfortable - whether that ends up being a casual in home session with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a snuggle on the couch - a mountainside session with flowy dresses - or everyone throwing on their Xtratufs, grabbing a fishing pole, and heading to the water.

Do we get the “Christmas Card” photo? Absolutely (usually first). After that? Let’s let your session be what it is and savor our time together without stressing about standing still and cheesing at the camera.

Looking for something else? Let’s chat! I book limited amounts of small weddings/elopements and branding sessions each year, and am always happy to discuss other adventures!

    Every wedding day is different and unique to you, and so are the packages I can offer you! From small backyard weddings to all-day-long mountain adventure elopements - please email me via the link below to discuss your wedding day details for more information.

A $200 non-refundable retainer fee (per session) and a signed contract are due at the time of booking (retainer fee for weddings/elopements vary). Your session is not booked until these items have been received - if they are not received within 48 hours, your requested session date/time will be released. Sessions are all-inclusive and typically yield 50-75 custom edited images per session. I recommend ordering prints directly from your gallery, and these are the only prints that I will guarantee. Travel fees apply to any session held 30 miles or more from my home. Prices are subject to change without notice, a signed contract and paid retainer fee guarantee your session pricing.

*returning clients always receive a $100 discount as a thank you for choosing JBP again and again!
