Jessica McHale Photography (original) (raw)

Newport, Rhode Island based photographer documenting businesses, events, weddings, and families since 2004.

Hello! I'm a New England Photographer based in Newport

I absolutely love meeting and photographing people! People in love; growing families; small businesses and creatives putting their work out to the world. Getting to know my clients and producing images that add value to their lives is simply incredible.

I live with my family on Aquidneck Island, just minutes from downtown Newport and a bridge to Bristol. The island is an incredible place to live and work, surrounded by some of the most beautiful historic venues and vibrant small businesses anywhere. I love being able to give my Newport and Bristol clients extra attention - but with strong roots in my childhood hometown of Medfield, MA, and a passion for travel (my family traveled full time in a camper for over a year!), I'm always happy to meet my clients in the place they love.

There are a lot of images to explore on this site. All backed by 20 years of experience and amazing clients. I hope you stick around to browse a bit!

Documentary Wedding Photographer

Experience matters in wedding photography, and with 20 years of it I'll create an incredible wedding image gallery for you! Regardless of rain or snow or scheduling snafus. I have a long history of happy couples who have photographs they love to commemorate their wedding day. My local wedding photography clients often invite me to photograph their families growth and story for years! I am a wedding photographer turned legacy photographer for these clients by doing what I love.

Living near Newport I get the opportunity to photograph:

Candid Family Photographer

A family photographer for 15+ years, I specialize in relaxed, candid family photography. Candid photographs are unscripted, not camera-aware, and often full of energy. But I also photograph in a way that represents the other definition of candid: truthful. In a world where it's easy to fake it, I create images for you that represent your family in a way you will cherish.

Family photography session offerings includes immediate family, newborn photography, extended family photography sessions, and student photography including high school senior portraits.

Business Headshot Photographer

Commercial photography is where I started my professional photography career - my bread and butter! Relaxed business headshots, multi-day conferences and events, and branding projects are all a part of my portfolio. I love the idea that my photography helps another business reach their clients, tell their story, and ultimately their business growth goals.

Commercial Event Photographer

Commercial and business events build so much community within your company. Sharing professional images of your event connects you with your client base. I am here to photograph your company ground breaking, conference, speaker, ribbon cutting, grand opening, fundraiser, silent auction, and more.

Real Estate Photographer

I photograph homes and businesses in a way that captures the best light in the space, attracting more potential buyers to your listing and maximizing value for your sellers. These bookings are accepted on weekday mornings. They include exceptional images of homes, interiors, exteriors, and yards.

Adventure Travel Photographer

My family - husband, three kids, and a dog - traveled as a family full-time for a year and a half. Adventure and travel are a part of my family's fabric and if they are a part of yours too, let's talk about how to incorporate a local photographer and adventure into your event!

Fun fact!

My original studio had two separate names and websites; JLM Studio weddings and ChaosLoved family and portrait photography. In 2019 I brought both of those - and all of my clients - under one umbrella; I am one photographer, one artist, one small business creating an exceptional experience and image collection for you.
