MEET Jackie
This is me - a curious optimist with a camera, along with a heart for curating + capturing joy-filled moments.
​
Finding my voice as a photographer has involved shaking off a lot of supposed to's, comparisons + the walled off professionalism of being a business owner.
​
​
I am fueled by personal connection + bring that wholeheartedly into my photography relationships.
My focus goes
so much deeper than
creating beautiful images...
my focus is you.
You're choosing a curated, one of a kind experience.
I aim to capture your uniqueness...your beauty...and your spark.
Getting the most out of this experience requires authenticity & vulnerability on both sides of the camera.
​
I'm not necessarily the photographer for everyone - because you're choosing so much more than a photographer.
what i do
I strive to give women the space to celebrate, heal, and see themselves in a new light of empowerment and beauty that they may have never seen before.
These experiences open up a safe place for raw conversation and real impact within relationships and the community.
​
Beyond photos...there is a movement taking place.
LET'S dive deep
boudoir isn't just creating beautiful pictures...
it's healing.
When I started shooting intimate portraits, it felt important and empowering in ways that I couldn't quite put words to.
I was excited to be helping women feel sexy + confident while learning to love what they see in the mirror.
​
- but as I've grown in this niche, I've encountered the truth that these sessions have far less to do with body image than it seems.
It would feel neat + tidy to toss this genre into a box, hash-tagged "body positive" to my heart's content...but that only scratches the surface.
​
Most women have lived having our bodies labeled and defined by others . Being taught that our worth is attached to that label, and yet taking care of it (heaven-forbid loving it) is vain and selfish.
ENOUGH.
I refuse to waste another second of my life believing that I am not already everything I need to be, neglecting the gratitude and praise my body is due.
...how dare we hide our truest selves away from the world, how dare we shove ourselves into ill-fitting boxes hoping to be more palatable.
​
You are enough. As is. Right now.
​
there is a calm, quiet power
that comes with
owning who you are
in all ways.
Portraiture invites vulnerability on all sides and I don't take that trust lightly.
I am here to answer your questions, build you up and welcome real relationship.
