hello
Hey there!
I’m Jess, a newborn photographer tucked away in Victoria’s gorgeous countryside—think rolling hills, gum trees, and me (at home) in my trusty Crocs (ugly but oh-so-comfy!).
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m chasing good scents—candles are my jam—or wrangling my two kids into their teenage years.
I’m a mum of two, married to Leigh (our resident renovator while I’m on cleanup and painting), and just like you, my family’s my world. I’ve lived the newborn chaos and now tackle the teen stage—I get how wild and precious every moment is!
Introvert? Yep, but with my crew, the extrovert sneaks out—ha! I know we cringe at being in pics (me too!), but focus on love, not the lens, and anxiety melts away.
New-mum me was a mess—blurry shots, cluttered couches, desperate for my girl’s first-year magic. Now, 10+ years on—workshops, 100s of bubs, my own studio—I’ve cracked it with my JJP Method.
I snap pics for local Victoria fams and teach you worldwide with my free masterclass (30-min gold) and online course—phone or DSLR, messy homes, pro Canon tips included.
Whether it’s beautiful images for locals or guiding a global crew to snap cuties, I’m here to make it easy and heaps of fun—turning chaos into treasures, your way!
"Jess is fabulous, so warm and welcoming, a natural with little babies. Her studio is gorgeous, and she knows her stuff when it comes to lighting and positioning, she has lots of different props perfect for any picture/style". ~ Lauren Field
please book early
Reach out to check availability by completing this quick form. With family time being a priority—especially during school holidays and sports—my availability is limited, so booking a few months in advance is highly recommended, especially for newborns.
I know you might feel a bit nervous about getting photos done—99% of my clients feel the same! Don’t worry; I’ll guide you through every step, giving you prompts and directions so you can relax and just enjoy the moment. Life is hectic, but your session will be a chance to slow down and have fun!
I'm Jessica Van Den Berghe, a small-town
Camperdown girl with big dreams.
I'm hooked on Netflix, in-door plants, candles and crispy pork crackling with apple sauce.
