Hello! I'm Jessica Benes, a commercial, portrait and wedding photographer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For the majority of my career, my business was known as Jessica Quist Photography. As I rebrand, I look back on the years my business was known as Jessica Quist Photograpy with gratitude. Establishing and running my own business has been an amazing adventure. Think of everything that goes into creating art for others, all along perfecting your own style? The moments I've shared photographing my clients are pictured here in my galleries. Why do I love this work? I feel alive when I'm creating, and new experiences inspire me. The photographs I take for my clients remind them that life is pretty amazing and so are the people around them. As each project unfolds through my lens, my photography's beautiful, imaginative, and fun!
After graduating from Columbia with a degree in Fine Art Photography, I moved to Milwaukee to start a career in fashion photography, traveling and working with Bon Ton's Fashion Photography Studio. I learned how to effectively collaborate with a variety of diverse personalities working alongside fashion photographers, art directors, stylists, and professional models on set. My endless supply of creativity is a strength of mine, whether it's lighting my subjects, suggesting poses, or finding new locations for my clients. '
In 2004, I went freeleance and opened Jessica Quist Photography full time. Twenty years later, in 2024, and after hundreds of happy clients, we're rebranding. Everything I've learned, shared with my clients and taught my assistants, is right in my back pocket.
Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood is my home. and my favorite place in the universe. Most of my free time is spent with my familty at the lake, out exploring the city, scouting new venues or cheering inside of hockey rinks. Let's GO SHAW!
