Joyful Expressions Photography http://www.www.joyfulexpressionserie.com/ Hello! I have enjoyed photography since I was a young girl and love working with so many different people.

My name is Jessica Crossley and I am honored that you are considering Joyful Expressions to join you on your wedding day or special event. With a truly artistic style of photography, I will work to make sure that your precious moments will be remembered forever. In addition to spending time with you during our session, I also review and edit each photograph individually to ensure that you receive

a photograph of the highest quality. This also allows me to add special effects to some of your photos. I provide high-quality services to my clients at competitive reasonable rates. Feel free to visit my website for additional samples of my work and let me know if you have any questions.

There is just something extra special about in-home newborn sessions. Maybe it is the stack of freshly washed bottles drying next to the sink or the pile of newborn blankets lovingly knitted by friends and family. It could be the family dog running around and attempting to be a part of every shot. Perhaps, it is simply the fact that a little p**p is anticipated and laughed at when it happens. Either way, I love an in-home session and enjoyed my afternoon with this trio. Meet little Matteo! He is an absolute gift. 🍼

I walked around my yard a million times yesterday looking to see if my daffodil spikes grew in the 12 hours of daylight they had. Spring is just around the corner! 🌸

I know it is not an official part of the Punxsutawney Phil forecast, but I do think we are down to only a few more weeks before those ice dunes disintegrate and the lovely beaches of Lake Erie come back! 🦫🌊☀️

(*Although that frigid lake temperature may take awhile to come back up... 🥶)

A wedding toast is a highlight of the wedding day. After having spent several hours with my couples and their family and friends, I start to feel like I really know them, but the wedding toast always offers me a deeper glimpse into the people that they are. The toasts that leave you with tears in your eyes both because of the sentiment being shared and the belly-laughs you have sustained, those are my favorites. 💚

I just forced my husband to watch Ever After. Next up in our movie queue? Predator. I guess we both are feeling nostalgic. 😆

I’m trying to be cheap and sorting through pictures on my phone in an attempt to delete enough so I don’t have to pay Apple more money to save my photos to their iCloud and realizing that there are so many sessions I never posted. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've been married for over 17 years and Valentines Day isn't really a thing these days. You can imagine my surprise yesterday when my husband came home with a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. Later I found out they were leftover from an event at work. Still counts in my book. 😆🍓

Happy Valentines Day to all of you! ❤️

At this point in the winter, I'd be more surprised to hear Alexa announce clear skies and dry roads. I've come to expect her frequent news of incoming blizzards, ice, snow, and sub-zero temperatures. ❄️

When I first began photographing newborns I would bring a big, blue IKEA bag stuffed full of backgrounds, props, posing pillows and all the trendy things. Over the past few years I have found myself settling into a simpler type of newborn session that I have come to love. It's not about props or setups, it is about you and your new little one. It is cozy and sweet and relaxed. I always leave families with a heart overflowing instead of my gigantic IKEA bag. Thank you Gabe & Melissa for allowing me to document these fleeting moments with your precious little man. 💙

I saw grass today. I am convinced that the emotion I experienced was likely very similar to how the pilgrims felt when they saw land for the first time after months at sea. 😆❄️🌿

LAST CALL!! If you were on the fence, tomorrow, January 25th, is the date for Valentine’s Minis! It’s a short and very sweet 10 minute session that ends with around 15 cute images of your cutie-pie kiddos. Cost is only $125! If you want in, message me ASAP! I’d be thrilled to have you. 🥰

Sunshine in the middle of winter is truly a gift. I've been enjoying glimpses of it during these cold, cold days. ✨
