Hey Friend, I'm

Jessica Rice

I

whole-heartedly believe in 4 hour dinners, planning parties so epic people talk about them for years. Going way over the top on gifts, dancing all of my stress away and raising our kids to live out love and kindness that can change the world. 

A Southern Girl living in San Diego’s Endless Summer! I left dental career path to travel the world with just a camera in hand and spent a year capturing the world’s greatest beauty. I’m a deep believer in waking up at 5 am to own my day, rocking every jumpsuit, losing track of time dining with friends and drinking tea until it fills my veins. I traveled the world in search of life’s greatest adventure and found it in my arms as I held my children. I’m here for you. Here for your adventure and here to share everything I’ve learned along the way.

I didn’t grow up with a garden in my back yard and thriving plants in my room. In fact I grew up thinking food grew in plastic packages and that green boxed chocolate cookies were a health food item.

The day couldn’t have been any more beautiful. Paradise Falls was glowing in the afternoon light, and their lush tropical gardens truly made it feel like paradise. Much like Alabama, where they met at school, the “winter” weather of Southern California made a perfect day for a wedding.
