I'm Jessa Lepinske, owner and sole photographer behind the camera at Jessa Rae Photography. I beautifully and uniquely capture the love and connection that exists in families. I am committed to incorporating beautiful scenery into my images without letting the surroundings overpower the human subjects. Whether you are here because you are planning your wedding or elopement day or you need updated family photos, I am so glad you found me and I can't wait to work with you!
"Jessa was phenomenal to work with. Having a 6 & 3 yr old you never know what your going to get but she was so patient & creative. She really captured the genuine joy we had just having fun in the mountains with her and our family. We will cherish the moments she captured for a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend her."
- Jessica M.

"Jessa is a wonderful mountain photographer that anyone would be lucky to get for their portraits! We did portraits up Brush Creek and it was raining but she made it work and we ended up with beautiful photos of our family and our twin girls! She was very professional, passionate about getting a great shot and wonderful with the kiddos! Highly recommend!"

"Jessa did maternity pictures for my husband and I last month and did an absolutely amazing job. She was very comfortable to be around, which in turn made taking photos so much fun! We are super happy with the photos we got from Jessa, I’d really recommend!" - Madi P.
"We really can’t recommend her enough. We could fill a book with fantastic images of the day including some really unique shots that might as well be in magazines. Thank you Jessa for making our day incredibly special. We’re so grateful to be able to look back on it with your amazing work."
- Dylan M.
"Jessa was great to work with and went above and beyond to make my proposal to my fiancé perfect. She was professional, responded quickly, and helped with ideas for my plan. She scouted the location on Mt Crested Butte twice before the big day and hid in the snow to keep it a surprise. Pictures turned out great also!"- Dan D.
On a recent shoot, a gentleman told me, "This doesn't feel like we are getting photos taken, it just feels like we are going on a hike". I loved that because that is my goal. I want to make our sessions enjoyable and capture people naturally while they are having fun in the mountains.
Whether you're a Colorado native couple eloping on your favorite mountain top, just the two of you and your dog, or you're a family visiting our little corner of Colorado and want to remember the joy and awe that you saw on your children's faces as they explored the mountains and played in the snow for the first time, I am here for it - and everything in between!
I'd love to help you preserve those memories with photos that beautifully capture your unique family and the awe-inspiring beauty of Colorado!
