Jessica Haydahl Richardson grew up in Canada and always had a fondness for the water. Her father worked as a tugboat captain, so being on and around the water was always part of her life. Jessica could be found running boats, sailing and fishing around the Pacific Northwest. As she grew a fondness for photography, Jessica began to capture life unfolding in front of her lens. Throughout her career she has photographed a wide range of subjects including the Vancouver Canucks. She also spent time working with Getty Images but really found her niche photographing all aspects of the fishing world. Jessica’s work has appeared in numerous issues of Anglers Journal. Her images have also appeared on several covers. She has an incredible eye and style that she’s honed over the years. Listen in as she talks about the craft, the changes over the years and how she makes a living doing something she loves, shooting photos. Jessica currently resides in the Bitterroot Mountains in Montana.
