About Me
Jessica Alvarez is a Photographer based in Philadelphia.
My love for photography started in the fifth grade, when I got my first point-and-shoot camera. Capturing fleeting moments and turning them into lasting memories quickly became more than a hobby—it became my passion and career goal.
I later moved to Brooklyn to earn my BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute. During that time, I discovered how powerful photography can be as a form of expression. It helped me navigate personal challenges, build confidence, and connect with others in a way that words couldn’t. That experience shaped both my style and my purpose as a photographer.
Since graduating in 2023, I’ve gained experience across many areas of photography—working as an assistant, studio photographer, editor, and second shooter for concerts and weddings. Now that I’ve moved back to my hometown in the Philadelphia area, I primarily work as an in-hospital newborn photographer and a portrait photographer for youth sports teams. Alongside that, I’m focused on growing my own business, offering portraits for individuals, couples, and families. I also photograph small events and will soon be adding newborn and boudoir sessions to my offerings.
My goal is to create sessions that feel comfortable, enjoyable, and true to you. I want every client to walk away with images that capture their personality and tell their story. If you’re ready to book a session or learn more, I’d love to connect and start planning something beautiful together.
