Jessica Simons Photography
Rapid City, South Dakota
Why we ranked them
Why we chose Jessica Simons Photography
Jessica Simons describes her newborn work in specific, tactile detail: unposed babies held in their parents' arms, laid on heirloom quilts, or set against simple white sheets, a description that signals a deliberate lifestyle style rather than heavily staged studio setups with elaborate props. Maternity and family portraiture round out her core services, alongside a separate wedding photography portfolio for couples who want the same photographer across both occasions. Serving Rapid City and the broader Black Hills region, she's positioned to travel to families rather than requiring every session to happen in one fixed studio location. Portrait commissions starting at $550 give prospective clients a concrete price anchor before they even reach out, which is more transparency than many small studios offer upfront. For parents who want an unposed, heirloom-feeling newborn session rather than a color-coordinated prop-heavy shoot, that specific style description is a clear signal of fit before ever booking a consultation.
