Jessica, your professional photographer

---

Hi, I am Jessica Ragsdale, I have had a camera in my hand since I was a young child.  I love photography so becoming a professional photographer seemed to come natural. It's a passion of mine to shoot portraits and I hope it shows in my work. I have been married to my best friend, Anthony for 20 years now and I grew up in Pleasant Hope, Missouri.  We settled down in Marshfield Missouri, where my husband is from. We enjoy traveling but I am always very glad to be back here at home. 

Abigail Troy is named after my two oldest children. The last three came along too late to be included in the name.  All five of them have helped me grow in many ways and I use this daily in my sessions. Having them helped me learn patience and to know that the little things in life are what I want to remember. I love interacting with people and getting those real moments.  I am a story teller, not just a photographer. I want to tell your story!

When working at your session I love to do a mix of candid and posed photos.  I mainly use natural light and shoot outdoors, but I do have a full studio and can offer indoor sessions as well.  Of course if you have ideas please tell me,  I would love to work those in for you. I am ready for any type of lighting and situation. 

Your photos are my art work but they're also your memories. By working together we can make sure it's what you have envisioned too.  Having had ATP for 10 years now, on top of years of photography experience, just know you're in good hands! I strive to make sure every session is fun and professional show casing the subjects.
