We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn’t mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It’s a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.
- Donald Miller, “A Million Miles In A Thousand Years”
When we first started Session Nine Photographers, we knew that we had a deep infatuation with great art in photography. The way light is captured still in an image. Great composition that draws the viewer in to the picture. Color and contrast. Subject and style. But what we didn’t realize at the time was the unbridled power of STORY that would inherently come with sharing people’s lives through pictures.
That’s where we truly fell in love.
We believe that sharing stories is the real heartbeat behind Session Nine. We long to share light, fun, fashionable moments alongside powerful, emotional moments. All intertwined. Real. Needless to say, we’re extremely excited about people, life, love, art, and story….if you’re here, it’s probably safe to say you are too.
We have been hubby and wifey for 8 years now and have two of the most adorable boys in the world named Cruz and Rider. What can we say, we’re biased. We have a dog named Audio and a cat named Louie, but no white picket fence. And Scottsdale Arizona is our landing pad, aka home. But most important of all, we are filled with hope and rescued in grace because of Jesus Christ’s great love for us and our faith in Him.
Truth of the matter is, we could write up a whole bunch of funny, quirky, endearing things about each one of us here, but we really believe in the power of conversation. We’d love to trade stories and laughs with you. Let’s hook up for some evening coffee soon. Don’t worry, it’s on us. Contact Jay & Jess HERE.
