Her work can also be seen on screens, in print, as well as digitally and she considers herself extremely lucky to be a part of the House Of Cards team that has received an Emmy Nomination and back to back Costume Designers Guild Award Nominations. Jessicas tenure in the film industry opened her eyes to just how terribly exclusive the fashion industry was. She was appalled at lack of representation of all women in products, advertisements, choices- so she new she could do better. With the help of a local fashion incubator in Arizona, Jessica was able to launch Naked Rebellion in six short months. Naked Rebellion is an inclusive lingerie line with 9 shades of nude- a nude shade for EVERY woman on earth.

Owner of Élan Photographie Studio and Hosting Blogger- I founded my photography company in 2008. It’s created opportunity for some of my greatest successes and has equally sharpened my problem-solving reflexes. For a few years, it carried me to New York City to work for a high-end wedding photography studio underneath some of the most renowned wedding photographers in the city. I decided to re-plant in Colorado Springs during 2015. Since I’ve grown my own team and opened a physical studio in our downtown that served as a rentable space for other creatives. While my company was rooted in portraiture work originally, I’ve transitioned my work into primarily working alongside companies and other business owners, documenting what they’re creating both digital and print assets. And while now having two very little humans at home- I’ve learned that all of this is less about balance and much more a really busy juggling act.
As a marketing arm of my photography company in 2017 I built a lifestyle blog and Instagram, Fortitude and Finn. It’s provided wonderful space for curating beautiful community dinners, space to work with companies in new ways, telling more full stories, and also getting to provide photo assets with a more global reach. I’m so looking forward to taking what I’ve learned and sharing it with this wonderful group of women, all of the while, learning from the ones gathering within the Foundress.
