Howdy, I'm Jessie!

I’m a film and digital photographer based in Mineral County, Montana where I live with my partner, Jake, and our miniature dachshund, Stevie. Originally from Northern California, I spent the first half of my twenties teaching in Hawaii and Taiwan before planting roots in the mountains.

Why Lady Tangler? The name comes from my endless entanglements on the river—I have a knack for creating the most impressive knots on a fly line. It felt fitting for a brand that embraces the raw, imperfect beauty of adventure.

My photography blends lovers, travels, the outdoors, and lifestyle portraits. I don’t like to put my art in a box, but if I had to, I’d call it whimsical western—a mix of nostalgia, untamed landscapes, and storytelling that feels both dreamy and raw.

Whether it’s an intimate elopement under the Montana sky, a golden-hour family session by the river, or a brand story told through dusty trails and flowing water, I’m here to capture the moments that feel like home. And when it comes to weddings, I believe in documenting love stories as they naturally unfold—wild, free, and filled with the kind of moments you’ll want to relive forever.

Let’s create something timeless together.
