"The days go by with so many little things that don't seem to matter until they're no longer there and suddenly, they're all that ever mattered. "

Remember your last family photo shoot? The one where you had to bribe your kid to smile for an hour straight? The stress of picking the perfect outfits, the stiff poses, the endless cycle of “walk, pose, smile” on repeat?

Yeah, this isn’t that.

When you look back at your photos, I want you to feel something real. The way your child’s face lights up when you walk through the door. The way they push their food around when you tell them to take just one more bite. The spilled milk, the belly laughs, the mischievous grins, the sleepy snuggles at bedtime.

The hilarious. The chaotic. The beautifully imperfect.

Because this is what matters.

Say no to the staged. Say yes to the story.

I love & adore Jamie. She’s the whole package. She delivers breathtaking photos every time but she makes it the best experience while capturing them. She’s so down to earth, easy to work with and so much fun!
She is the best of the best. Jamie has been capturing my life for almost 11 years now and I don’t plan on ever using anybody else but her! She’s worth every penny!!
