ABOUT JAMIE
hi! i'm jamie!
i have been taking photos since college [2010 seems like a long time ago] but really started to take my photography seriously beginning in 2022 after i had my second child. the journey began working with bella baby photography, taking photos of newborns and their families in the first days of life in the hospital. from there, i began to expand my work. when my father passed away in december of 2022, i realized how important these memories were to me and made it my goal to provide those memories for other people to hold on to.
i would describe my work as true to color and vibrant. my style is more a natural and simplistic style. my favorite photos to capture are the natural moments where you are being you, without a pose. if you've had a session with me, you've probably heard me say that a million times. i want to capture you in your element and showcase the true emotion you share with me.
for those who pay attention: i am a canon girl tried and true. i use a canon r6. most of the time, you'll probably find a 24-70mm f/2.8 on my camera but my favorite portrait lens is the 85mm f/2. i often use my 35mm f/1.8 as well.
i'm so glad you're here and hope we can work together soon!
