"Working with Jessica has been such a great experience! I really have appreciated her attention to detail, her flexibility, and her patience.  As a teacher, I also appreciate her affordable prices, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.  She was so thorough on our engagement shoot and made us feel at ease with all of our poses.  She truly captured who my fiance and I are as a couple, and I can't wait for her to photograph our big day!!"

About me

Hi, my name is Jessica Howell Waldrop; I am the owner and lead photographer at J. Howell Art Photography.  I am based in South Louisiana, but I love to travel!

​

I have a master's degree in art education, and I teach art at the secondary and collegiate levels. I enjoy all things creative, especially creative portrait photography. 

My husband and I have 2 sweet kids that are our greatest blessings!!  We are also huge animal lovers, and we are eager to spend time outside participating in fun and adventurous activities as a family. I find a lot of my inspiration from the beautiful nature we are surrounded with here in the South.

​

Although I specialize in wedding photography, I capture a variety of major life events for my loyal clients.  From senior portraits to family lifestyle sessions, your life is my canvas.  I even take infant and animal portraits!  Working with fun and adventurous couples and families to capture their unique personalities is my passion!

"Jessica is wonderful to work with and I can't say enough good things about her.  She made our wedding day fun and memorable with her amazing photos she captured. I highly recommend Jessica!"
