Meet Your Photographer

Hi there! I'm Jonathan Messenger.

I am a photographer who believes that every session should be relaxed, fun and stress-free. Whether it’s your high school senior or your whole family I’ll guide you every step of the way—From the first time we chat to the moment you hold your beautiful photos.

No more feeling awkward in front of the camera.

What clients are saying

"Your session was relaxed, we laughed, we talked, the kids enjoyed the time and location and the photos turned out beautiful!"

- Angela M

"Jonathan took our daughter's senior pictures. His creativity really captured her personality. We highly recommend Mess E Photos."

Session Pricing

My goal is to make every session feel relaxed and enjoyable, capturing the personality of you and your family or senior. I offer a variety of packages to ensure flexibility with options that fit any schedule or budget.

When it comes to prints vs. digital images, I’m all about creating timeless keepsakes. Digital images are great for sharing, but nothing compares to the feeling of having a physical print in your hands or on your wall.

I understand that cost can be a concern which is why I offer payment options to make it easier for you to get the photos you want. Price should never get in the way of making beautiful memories!
