hey there!
I'm Jackie

I have had my photography business now for over 12 years but have been taking photos for much longer. I have always been known for my creativity and artistic side and I truly love creating art for my clients that also captures special moments in their lives. Many years ago when asked what I wanted to accomplish I answered something along the lines of creating art that others would want to display in their homes. Although at the time I was thinking more of drawing or painting, in the end I feel that I did accomplish that goal through photography. Making photography into a business kind of fell into my lap but I ran with it and it has been such a blessing in so many ways. Using my creative eye and photography skills to capture connection or document phases in your life that you can display, treasure as your children change and grow, and pass down for generations is such an honor. I feel so grateful to be able to call this my job, to have the privilege to meet so many wonderful people and to be a part of capturing so many special moments. 

My husband Tim and I have two boys and our doodle Duke. During the summer we love to spend time outdoors.. camping, nature walks, kayaking, biking, backyard movies by the fire, or living that pool life. Last year we went on one camping trip every month May-Oct and had so much fun! During the colder months I do my best to balance my work schedule with homeschooling our boys which keeps me on the go constantly it seems. 

Thanks for being here!
What it's like to work with me

It is my goal to make your experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible. I help you to feel relaxed in front of the camera. I have a more natural approach to posing and consider it more lifestyle, really capturing you interacting or looking at each other. I give prompts or guidance and make adjustments (angling your face or placing your hands, etc) to help you look your best and fulfill my artistic vision. Of course, I always grab some photos of you looking and smiling at the camera as well. My editing style is warm and moody. I am self taught but have also invested in mentoring and courses over the years. I am continually learning and growing. I have over 12 years of sessions under my belt providing me with lots of experience! If you have any questions for or would like to work together, I would love to hear from you!

" Jackie has been my go-to photographer since my second son was born and I wish I had discovered her sooner! Her sessions are so relaxed, yet you can tell she has a vision for the outcome and she's very patient, even when kids are just being kids and not wanting to cooperate. I look forward to every session with her because I know she will capture the most beautiful moments and make us all feel at ease, even my husband who doesn't enjoy having his picture taken."
