Jessika with a K Studios
Jessika with a K Studios is a woman-owned, disabled-owned small business founded by Jessika (with a K), a photographer and artist with a passion for capturing meaningful moments—whether through the lens or on the page.
Photography has been a constant in Jessika’s life, a way to hold on to memories that her mind can’t always keep. Her love for nature, architecture, and quiet moments shines through in every image she takes. But Jessika’s creative journey took a more structured shape at Ohio University, where she studied in a rigorous, interdisciplinary foundations program designed to ensure every art student develops a strong base in composition, color theory, drawing, design, and critical thinking—no matter their medium. This formal training laid the groundwork for her diverse creative practice today.
While her background is rooted in photography, Jessika’s artistry expanded when she created a hand-drawn portrait of her dad’s beloved dog as a heartfelt gift. That one piece sparked interest from friends and family, and soon she was illustrating custom pet portraits that blended her technical skill with emotional storytelling.
That’s when Jessika with a K Studios truly came to life—blending photography, illustration, and a deep love for meaningful details. What began as a way to capture memories has grown into a full creative studio where visual storytelling takes many forms and continues to evolve.
Inspired by the natural world and nostalgic pop culture, Jessika’s work is always personal, detailed, and filled with heart. Whether you’re commissioning a custom portrait or selecting a print from her latest photo series, you’re getting something created with intention and care.
Sustainability is also central to Jessika’s mission. Every order is shipped in eco-friendly packaging made from post-consumer recycled and compostable materials—so your purchase feels good and does good, too.
Jessika
Hi, I’m Jessika! I run Jessika with a K Studios, where I pour my creativity into all kinds of fun projects.
I’ve been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. My first camera was a yellow 35 mm Kodak film camera, a small, simple camera that opened up a way of seeing the world that I’ve never let go of. In part, photography is my way of remembering. My memory isn’t always reliable, moments blur or slip away entirely. But a photo holds steady. It becomes a visual anchor, helping me recall not just what something looked like, but how it felt to be there. In that way, my camera has always been more than a tool; it’s a kind of memory keeper.
Today, I’m a photographer focused on capturing the quiet beauty of nature, landscapes, and the built environment.
I attended art school at Ohio University with a focus in Photography and Graphic Design. I currently work (and have for the last 10 years) in the healthcare field. Talk about complete opposites!
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me out in nature… hiking, camping, or just soaking in some fresh air. I also love curling up with a good book and drawing whatever pops into my head. I have been creating since I was able to hold a crayon.
My furry family, Daisy (cat) and Delilah (dog), are always by my side, keeping life interesting.
Living with a chronic illnesses can be tough, but I try not to let it define me. My experiences with chronic illness influence my art and have given me some of the best creative ideas I’ve had!
