About Jessica Montana Ballard
I am a wedding, portrait, and event photographer based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I am a people watcher and an avid observer of the world around me. I suppose this is why I was drawn to the remarkable art form of photography. A photo not only documents people and places but it also documents emotion. In a moment you can capture the tear on new groom's cheek, a mischievous smile, an expecting mother's anticipation, or a lonely footprint in the sand.
The fleeting moments in time are the ones we hope to never forget. They are the ones that when captured in a photo can bring a rush of emotions in remembering that very second in time. This is what I strive to accomplish through my photography. I look for those images that will invoke a sense of memory. A photograph that almost seems alive as though it is holding an essence of the day it was taken.
Now a little more about me. I graduated from Westminster College with my B.A. in Communication and currently work as the Director of Events and Communications for Development at Utah Valley University. I am also pursuing my Master's Degree in Professional Communication. My hobbies include photography, graphic design, acting, and traveling. My ultimate goal is to travel the world taking photos of exotic destinations with my incredible husband, Ben. We even have two maps (one of the U.S. and one of the world) hanging on a wall in our house for us to map our future journeys. So far I have traveled to China, India, Germany, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada. There are still so many places to see and photograph . . .
