Why we chose Memories by JMF (formerly ‘Weddings by JMF’)

Memories by JMF is a Gainesville-based photography studio run by photographer Jessica, offering a dedicated infants category alongside maternity and first-birthday cake-smash sessions. Jessica's newborn and infant sessions are designed to be slow-paced and low-pressure, typically running about sixty minutes and prioritizing the baby's comfort over rushing through a shot list. Rather than delivering an overwhelming gallery, each infant session is edited down to a curated set of final images, usually around ten frames, so parents receive a focused collection of favorites instead of hundreds of near-duplicates to sort through. Clients get a shareable online album hosted through Mpix, complete with a print release, so families can order professional prints and photo gifts directly without needing to negotiate usage rights separately. A sneak peek from the session typically goes out by text or email within 24 hours, giving new parents a quick first look while they wait for the full gallery. Memories by JMF pairs its infant work with maternity photography, letting families book the same photographer for both the pregnancy and the newborn stage. With a 5.0-star Google rating from 27 reviews, the studio has built a loyal following among Gainesville parents seeking an unhurried, personal approach to newborn portraiture.
