                  Jessy has been intrigued                         by photography since a very

                  early age taking photos with                    disposable cameras. In high                      school she got her first                        35mm camera and wouldn't                        leave the darkroom. Through                    her photography class she                      learned of a tech school up                      in Massachusetts. After completing that program Jessy traveled around the US working at different photo labs and continuing to take photos on her own. When Jessy was getting close to 30, college finally called to her. She enrolled at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. Four years later she graduated with high honors and her BFA. She took all she learned there, headed out to California and got a gig at a high-volume portrait studio. Just after one year there Jessy discovered she had another super power. Teaching and training. Jessy wrote up training manuals and taught new hires. She was having fun but something was missing. She was homesick. She missed New York. So... she came back home. 

Once she got settled, Jessy went back to "corporate life" so to speak and worked at a national photography studio for the holidays. It started off as a part time seasonal gig then turned into a management position. That is where she learned gained more knowledge on marketing and sales. After a few years, Jessy decided to take all she learned and go out on her own. she wanted to be her own boss. 


So, Jessy Dunn has returned to her own studio, Shot By Jessy Photography Studio. She is super excited to spread her wings and find out just how wide they span!
