Welcome to Your NC Mountain Memories Adventure
Are you planning a family vacation to the breathtaking North Carolina mountains? Make your trip even more unforgettable with professional family photography that turns your moments into lasting memories.
Why Choose Wayfaring Wanderer?
📷 Connection, Not Perfection: With over 10 years of experience photographing families here in the High Country, I know the NC mountains around Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk inside and out. I'll showcase the natural beauty and the genuine moments of your family, creating a visual narrative of your mountain adventure.
📷 Family First: I understand the importance of family, and my goal is to capture the love, laughter, and connections that make your family unique. Your smiles, your belly laughs, and your happiness are what I cherish capturing the most.
📷 NO FAKING IT: I believe in genuine, unscripted moments. My specialty is natural, candid photography, allowing you to be yourselves while I work magic behind the lens.
"Thank you for capturing our first ever family photos! such a fun photo adventure - I can't thank you enough for making this possible & for capturing us so well!!"
– Mandy southern
I believe that everyone deserves to have their story told with images that will bring them happy memories for years to come! But I know that tight budgets can get in the way of having memories captured, so I want to make it easier for you to do so by allowing you to decide how much you can pay for a photo adventure. That’s right, YOU GET TO CHOOSE!
Capturing YOUR adventurous life is something that I love to do and I want to make sure my services are accessible to those who truly appreciate my work. This isn’t something that I can offer all the time but I like to when I can. It’s my way of giving back to the Boone, NC community that I absolutely LOVE to live in and be a part of!
"We absolutely love them!! you are so talented & thank you for giving us the opportunity to have our pictures with you at a price we could afford."

Family photos are the memory keepers of your personal story. They are reminders of love, laughter, good times, adventures, and traditions. Most of all, they help us reflect and remember a life well lived with our top priority, family.

"I was worried that my kids would have some sort of freak out tantrum last minute and we'd get 0 good pictures. I thought this was almost the reality at the shoot because my 5 yr old seemed to not be able to keep a decent face on for the camera. I was convinced there would be no good shots but of course Jessica worked her magic and got so many precious photos! Jessica gets what we want from a photosession and is so easy to work with. She's great with the kids too and professional always.
She's just the best. She gets you the kind of photos you're proud to share, that really capture who you are." ~SAMANTHA WRIGHT

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ~ALI CONNELL
My biggest fear was that I would hate how I looked in all of the pictures and that the pictures would look unnatural/forced. No, it didn't happen! I actually love how well Jessica captured everyone in our family.
The session was quick and easy. Jessica is super warm and connected. She made the entire process fun!
Our family loved our time with you. ~JESSICA JANC
