Jessica Cernat Photography

Born and raised in Florida where catfish is always on the menu and the girls are as sweet as the oranges, I became a photographer because I love to watch people bloom with confidence.
When I started my business, I had this idea that I would focus on family photography and see where it led me. I love kids, so it felt like a fun place to start. I had so much fun in putting families at ease – making kids laugh, making Mom and Dad feeling confident in front of the lens – that the whole thing grew and grew until I became something of a staple feature within the families who hired me. Now, I tend to be there with my families for every important milestone: from proposals to maternity shoots and beyond. It’s a fantastic feeling to be trusted to be a family’s go-to snapper and one that I absolutely treasure.
The key sentiment that my clients take away from my shoots seems to be “Wow, that was so much fun!” I think it’s because lots of people dread having their photo taken and, while they love the idea, are nervous about actually being in front of my camera. I go above and beyond to ensure that you love every minute of our time together, and I promise it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat at every single special chapter in your family’s story.
