Tampas Jessica Photography

Jessica Tampas Photography took photos at our wedding in 2003. I did not order prints and album until 2006. We shot mostly black and white because I feel they are more ‘classic’ but took color shots, too. Most of what we printed were black and whites. I noticed that a black and white print on our piano started to fade/​look purple and took it into a well respected frame shop for advice. The owner said she was very surprised the print had turned purple in less than ten years — a sepia (browning) fading at 30 years is what is common. The quality of the prints was poor, ‘like what you get at the drugstore’ is what frame shop owner told me. Given the importance of the day and expense of the job, a long-​lasting, higher quality product does not seem too much to expect.

Jessica made me look like I belonged in the pages on Vogue when she did my portraits in her studio several years ago. She is wonderful to work with and very creative.
I brought a gown for the photo but was wearing jeans, a little black shirt, and a string a pearls to the session. «Let’s just first try a few shots now, before you put on the gown, just for fun», she said. In fact, some of the most wonderful photos were the natural ones, in my jeans with a brick backdrop in her studio.
Jessica is a true artist… just the best. Raves!

Jessica is truly gifted. She has an uncanny ability to capture the essence of the child or person she is photographing. She managed to get all three of boys to smile and look at the camera in a matter of minutes. She has also taken stunning black and white headshots of each child– they are classics. I heartily recommend her!
