Creative Photo Artist & Videographer in
Philadelphia + Scranton
Portraiture for your wedding & portraits that's built on connection, being present, and creating with you.
To capture your most true & expressive self, you need
more than
just a photographer.
This is not worth missing out on because other photographers have made you feel awkward by using their preset ideas, as opposed to taking the time to understand your vision + personality to artistically collaborate together.
For the last 6 years of my life, I dove into what it really means to be a dreamer, and to connect with
people, so that we could find the honest + cinematic nature of a moment together. My goal through this is that we get to creatively convey your human emotional experience in an array of color, light, emotion, nostalgia, & purpose.
If you're looking for an untraditional approach to a photography/videography experience that won't fit in a box...
let's do it.
Meet the girl behind it all
Hi! I'm Justene, but my friends call me Jbaby.
Rebel. Dreamer. Emotional Creature. Creative.
I’m based in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but my heart lives in the raw, unscripted moments that make life feel real. You can call me Justene, but I love going by Jbaby because, to me, you're more than a client—you’re a friend. And the best art? It’s made with friends.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably adventuring with friends, loving on my two fur babies, chasing sunsets, cozying up to a good movie, or getting lost in all things fashion & nature.
At the end of the day, celebrating people—their stories, their quirks, and all the in-between moments—is what life is really about for me. I don’t just capture memories; I feel them. And I’d love to create something that’s unapologetically you.

Springtime Specials
The Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions
designed
for celebrating rebirth & renewal.
It’s that time again: my Cherry Blossom Mini bookings are officially open!
I left my final session last year feeling completely, wholeheartedly alive. There’s nothing like spring—feet in the grass, holding the ones we love, breathing it all in together.
This year, from April 24th-27th, I’ll be offering 4 sessions a day in Pittston, PA. And in honor of my birthday month, I’m giving back—20% of each session will be donated to two *incredible* organizations fighting against human trafficking: A21 & Project GRL (run by Hands of Hope). This cause has meant so much to me for years, and if you want to stand with these organizations, education and awareness are great places to start.
Let’s welcome the season together— renewed, refreshed, relaxed, hopeful, compassionate, and confidence. I can’t wait to see you there!

“Justene made us (two people who are relatively camera shy) incredibly comfortable, and it shows in the photos! She caught our essence with ease.”
“Because of her kindness, professionalism, & organization, I have so many photos from our wedding day that I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. Justene is creative, and directed us into to capturing really amazing portraits. Do yourself a favor and hire her as your photographer; you won’t regret it.”
“Justene's ability to take someone's essence and capture it in a single second is amazing; she truly got to know me and capture that in all my photos.”
