My full name is Jessica Erin but most people just call me Jess.
I grew up in Springfield, MA and graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Isenberg School of Management. I currently live in the Orlando, FL area.
I am an ongoing member of the SPS photo club since 2007 when I purchased my first DSLR and quickly became deeply interested in photography. I have exhibited photos at the Valley Photo Center in Downtown Springfield, MA and recently completed a personal 365 day project wherein I posted a photo every day for one year. But enough of the photographic resume.
How about the real me? Nicknames: Jconn (hence the business name!), J, Spaz, White Tornado, just-don't-call-me-Jessie.
I am: a Mom, a Wife, a Photographer, a Sister, a Daughter, an Aunt… the list goes on, I wear many hats from day to day.
Righty or Leftie: I'm a good old fashioned south paw. Although I can do everything but write with my right hand. I can't catch left-handed though which means I was always picked last for softball because I throw AND catch with my left hand.
If I could have one superpower I would want to be able to fly. Yes, like Superman. Wonderwoman was cool but she had to use a jet. Superman all the way baby.
Best advice ever given to me: You are only as vulnerable as the decisions you make and the company you keep. And to check if there is toilet paper on the roll in the public restrooms before you, ahh… handle your business. Seriously, there's nothing worse than having to ask your stall-neighbor to pass some under the wall when you realize there isn't any on the roll.
I LOVE roller coasters. The faster the better. But dude, don't even try to get me on the spinning teacups unless you want our day to be over.
I cry over the corniest things. Like when my son tells me I'm pretty and my two year old daughter learned to say "I love you mama". But especially when we run out of coffee. I try to balance this with laughing over really immature things.
Current Personal Project: Creating and Executing a "101 goals in 1001 days" list.
