Behind The Lens
Pessi
I’ve been told many times by well-meaning people to focus on a more “predictable” career. “There are so many photographers, why choose this path?”
You know what? They’re not wrong. The photography industry is abundant, there are so many photographers, and so many different styles. I have never felt comfortable being a “standard photographer.” I have so many quirky ideas spilling out of me at ALL times, and that… is my special gift. That is what sets me apart. Early in my career, I saw that there was a need for honest photography. Posed photos are great to look at, but I want to capture your family’s playfulness, your children’s childhood, I want to frame feelings.
"Working with Pessi was such a pleasure. She has such a beautiful eye for creating art and a magical way about her. She is so kind, easy to communicate with, and her photos come out breathtaking! I loved the entire experience! “
-Rivky G.
“Pessi is a true artist and has a true gift for capturing the extraordinary minutiae in seemingly ordinary moments. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with her.”
-Leah, Prose by Leah
"I spent the day shooting with Pessi, and we had the best time! She was so easygoing, patient, and very attentive to details. She has a poetic vision which makes her work so unique. I highly recommend booking Pessi!"
-Dina Greher
“Pessi and I worked together on a gorgeous summer photoshoot. The shoot really reflected what I had in mind. As a musician, I don’t always think visually, but Pessi was able to listen to my music and turn my sounds into beautiful photos. Pessi pushed me to model in new ways for me, and I am really happy with our work. “
