I'm the girl behind the camera ready to hype you up. When I am not photographing a session, you can find me in the arena riding or showing horses, working cows at the family ranch, or learning a new hobby. I show in ranch horse and in-hand yearling versatility classes at APHA shows with a handful of different horses that my family has raised. 
The Westlake Ranch name of my business is a nod the cattle operation my grandfather started in the late 1960s in Northern California. I wanted my WR logo to include elements of the original cattle brand that they used to brand the cattle. I am driven to honor and continue the family legacy through my own venture in photography.

i'm Jessi!
