I am Jessica Williams, full time wife, mother, photographer and avid blogger. My husband Jason and I have two little boys, Cruz (4) and Rider (2) who have absolutely changed our lives in all the best ways possible. We live locally in Scottsdale, AZ and love the community here. I am passionate about inspiring people to be all that they were created to be. I love being a working mom and empowering women to work hard to make their dreams come true, even after having babies! You can check out my work as a photographer at Session Nine Photography's website. You can also find me blogging almost daily about my life as a mom, photographer, and other inspiring tid bits on my personal blog, Stellar Day.
