I'm Jess from Salem, Oregon and owner of Salem Smith Photography. I am a portrait and wedding photographer in Oregon. I specialize in a range of photography including: Engagement Photos, Family Photo Sessions, Wedding Photography, Maternity Photo Sessions, Headshots and more! I love hearing your ideas and bringing them to live in front of the camera.


Welcome

I started this photography journey back in High School. I took a film class where we learned how to use the settings on a camera and even developed our own film and prints. I loved the creative process so much, especially developing film. I can still smell the chemicals! After high school, my family really encouraged me to continue on with my passion and offer sessions to family/friends.

Now, more than 15 years later (GOD AM I THAT OLD?), I'm living my dream and preserving your most treasured memories in the process. I'm even hoping to go back to my roots and start incorporating some film again in the near future, who knows! 

Fun Facts
  • - I love to read!
