JESSIE ROWAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi! I'm Jessie!

I am an award winning journalistic + lifestyle photographer from sunny South Bay, CA.

My love for photography began in middle school when I picked up my first DSLR. I then was determined to find a school with good waves and a journalism program. I went on to study journalism and multimedia production at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.


I am a huge believer in being natural… gravitating towards golden light, captivating meaningful personal touches and unique details, as well as shooting the raw beauty of an individual or place.


When I am not taking photos, you can most likely find me surfing, camping, running with my crazy Jack Russell, Otto, or hanging out with family and friends.

Some random facts about me:

Where have you lived?

Bucket list locations?

Coffee or tea?

Favorite hobby?

Some random facts about me:

Where have you lived?

So... I grew up in Palos Verdes surfing and playing soccer. Then I decided to go as far away as I could on the map for college, and landed in the oldest city in America...St. Augustine, FL! After college, I lived in Costa Rica for 1 year and worked for a local magazine while conducting photojournalism work!

Bucket list locations?

Does the entire map count? :)
I would have to say these are my top 5:
1. Barbados
2. Japan
3. Galapagos
4. Portugal
5. El Salvador

Coffee or tea?

BOTH. I need both to function.

Favorite hobby?

1. Surfing.
2. Running on the beach (in actuality I am just walking and taking sunset/ocean pics the entire time... does that count? :)

My passion for sharing stories and documenting people and places has led me to photography full-time... and I am loving every minute of it!
