⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a photographer in Lisbon, BOOK JESS!!! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Jess!! My husband and I booked a couples photoshoot during our anniversary trip to Portugal, and it ended up being one of our absolute favorite experiences in Lisbon! From the moment we met her, Jess made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which is saying A LOT considering my husband and I are probably two of the most awkward people you could put in front of a camera! 😂 She made the entire experience feel so natural, fun, and effortless.

It honestly felt more like exploring the beautiful streets of Lisbon with a friend than being at a photoshoot! She knew all the most incredible hidden gems, charming streets, and picture-perfect backdrops that we never would have found on our own. Her eye for photography is AMAZING, and she has such a gift for capturing those genuine, candid moments that truly reflect who you are.

And THE PHOTOS!!! 😍 We were absolutely blown away when we received our gallery. Every single photo was more beautiful than the last, and we genuinely loved SO many of them that we still can’t even choose a favorite!! She captured our love, our personalities, and the magic of Lisbon so perfectly. These are memories we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend Jess enough!

If you’re visiting Lisbon and considering a photoshoot, DO IT, and book with her! We are already looking forward to working with her again the next time we’re in Portugal. Thank you, Jess, for making us feel like naturals in front of the camera (even though we definitely aren’t 😂) and for giving us the most beautiful memories of such a special trip! ❤️🇵🇹

“I've long admired Jess's photography (I mean, have you seen her incredible portfolio!?) and was thrilled to have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet her and do our engagement shoot in Lisbon, Portugal. The photos that Jess captured were absolutely magical and exceeded our expectations. She has an eye like no other photographer and her commitment to her craft shone through in every shot. These photos will be cherished for many years to come. If you have the opportunity to work with Jess, take it! Lastly, she put us at ease and created a relaxed atmosphere, making the process enjoyable and comfortable. That's huge coming from people who don't typically like being in front of the camera.”

“Jess went absolutely above and beyond to photograph my surprise proposal at the Pena Palace in Sintra! I am so appreciative of her generosity, care, humor, patience, and professionalism — to name a few — that made our engagement so special. Not only is Jess an incredible photographer, she also offers a warm and welcoming presence that made us feel comfortable posing in front of the camera. Despite it being a blustery day, she gracefully captured me and my partner in a lovely variety of beautiful shots around the area. Her eye for the perfect angle and setting is unmatched. I would jump at any chance to work with Jess again and feel lucky to have found her to capture our special moment during our trip to Portugal. I recommend her for anyone's photography needs, hands down. (: ”

“Jess was a delight to work with. Responsive, cheerful and engaging, Jess’s photography was of excellent quality. I would definitely engage Jess’s services again. :) “

Andrew & Cara

“I used Jess to help plan a surprise proposal for my now fiancée during our trip in Lisbon. Having never been to Portugal before, I was pretty lost when it came to nailing down a location. Jess was super helpful in finding the perfect spot to ask the question, and had graciously allowed me to call her and figure out our plan. We ended up being over 45 minutes late to the shoot… Jess stayed the entire time and patiently waited for us to arrive to capture the moment. Despite being late and having a dinner reservation coming up she was able to make our photoshoot work and had even offered to stay past our agreed upon time to make sure we got the photos we wanted. I am so thankful I chose Jess for this special moment as her flexibility and professionalism made this a success. Could not recommend her enough!”

Peter & Emma

We hired Jess to photograph our engagement in Oeiras, near Lisbon. Jess was extremely helpful - she scouted locations ahead of time, was responsive during the planning phase, and most importantly, took great photos of us! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Stefan & Elaine

“We had a very particular vision for our engagement shoot, and Jess made it come to life even more beautifully than we imagined it could. We really appreciate how well she not only understood the mood we wanted to create but added to the dreamy effect with her artistic eye and mastery of light. As everyone says, Jess’ relaxed and warm demeanor makes it easy to be yourself on camera. We’re so thrilled to have these photos that capture our love in such an authentic way. It’s truly a treasure!”

"Do you know Jess Keener? Of Jessica Keener Photography? You should. You should know her. Or at least, I mean, her work. Because her work is amazing. Like UH-MAZE-ING. She is relaxed, fun, and inspired. She knows her shit, like lines and lighting and color. But she will also work with you to make tiny adjustments to your stance or your movement or your position that make THE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in your end-result photo. She is professional, both literally and representationally. She will pull you, the real you, out with a lens and lay you on film so that you think she probably cut out a piece of your soul like those 1800's people used to think. But it doesn't hurt. Not at all. In fact, she can keep it, because it's right there whenever you want to look at it, beaming out at everyone you've ever known and making them feel happy. Dang it, it makes YOU feel happy. My first photo shoot and it was an absolute pleasure."

Lee & Heather

“Jess is seriously the absolute best to work with! She is calm and organized and super professional but also really lovely and fun to have around - if you want a photographer who is going to add to the wonderfulness of your day rather than the stress, she's your woman!

It can be hard being in front of a camera, but from the first moment of our engagement shoot, she did an awesome job of keeping us relaxed and enjoying the experience. She is so joyful and she has so many great ideas for shots to keep things fun and creative while still making sure you get those money shots that the family will be looking for!

Her turnaround time is unreal (like.... we're talking days) and the photographs themselves are absolutely stunning. The colors, the framing... so, so good. I can't recommend her enough!”

Chef Bonnie Rae

"I absolutely LOVE working with Jessica! Not only is she punctual, attentive and highly professional, but she photographs my food with impeccable vision and beauty. I have worked with Jessica on multiple shoots and without a doubt she is my "go to" food photographer from here on out. I can't imagine working with anyone else!"

Marlene

"I am absolutely thrilled with the results from my 30-minute shoot with Jessica. Despite the short amount of time, we accomplished so much, and I was amazed at how seamlessly the session flowed. Jessica immediately understood my vision and delivered exactly what I wanted. Her fun, approachable nature, combined with her incredible talent and passion, made the experience truly enjoyable. Although I usually feel a bit uneasy in front of the camera, Jessica's warm and friendly demeanor made me feel confident and comfortable. From the moment we met, we connected effortlessly. The session felt like a delightful walk in the park with a dear friend, who pointed out the best spots to capture beautiful moments. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a professional, enjoyable, and highly successful photo shoot."

Jen & Duy

"Jess is an extremely talented photographer who makes the best of the environment around you to take extremely flattering photos. She did my engagement and wedding photos and they turned out phenomenal...we've received so many compliments on them. This is from somebody who is not very photogenic and does not enjoy having my picture taking. Jess is very professional, funny, responsive via email, and great to work with. I highly recommend her!!!"

Leah

“Jess is truly a remarkable photographer. Her sense of looking for the shot hidden in natural moments is unparalleled. She makes you feel at ease and her experience shines through in the final images. Communication is excellent and Jess was so thoughtful with utilizing backdrops to complement the end product. Highly recommended!”

Stacey

“I hired Jess for a family photo shoot at the Monserrate Gardens in Sintra. She was responsive arranging the appointment. During the session, she was super friendly and had a great eye for spots that would work well. Little did I know that our family photo session would also become an engagement session as my partner proposed while we were in the chapel ruins at Monserrate and Jess captured the most beautiful photos of it all!”
