Jacquei Essex discovered the joys of photography in 2008 with her first digital camera. To gain more creativity through photography, she subsequently replaced it with her constant companion: a Fuji FinePix S5700.
Meeting artists and photographers as a member of several creative websites encouraged Jacquei to explore other creative media. She now writes poetry and hopes to publish a book in the future. She also enjoys portrait sketching
Jacquei is a genealogist who has researched her lineage to 1650. Her family history can be found online at Bennett & Essex Genealogy. She also accepts research requests from anyone seeking to trace their own lineage.
