But that's not all...
The stars aligned making me a cancer baby (I'm a complete moonchild). Born in the mid 80’s, grew up through the 90’s, raised on boy bands + grunge rock. An Enneagram 7 - free spirited, enthusiastic, always on the go. Following my gut ‘cause it never lies. And, always ready for dessert + mocktail happy hour, counting down the minutes right now.
preserving your
memories is my superpower
My story is like yours
I have many titles but none is as important as ‘mum’ to my teenagers. I’m a single mom + my life revolves around them, my frenchie (named Bill) + the world we can explore together. I was married once, to my kids dad, but it turned out we weren't perfect for each other,
just absolutely perfect for our kids.
GREAT LOVE DOES EXIST FOR ALL OF US
For the last 11+ years I’ve been in the best relationship with the most incredible Canadian guy, yaaaa we do long distance! So if that’s a part of your relationship I get youuuu! Love doesn’t know borders or follow any “rules.” Thank the heavens for that!
If my story has proved anything, it’s that love flows freely in this life, if we’re just willing to let it in. It can find us in the least expected places, like with the cute

If my story has proved anything, it’s that love flows freely in this life, if we’re just willing to let it in. It can find us in the least expected places,
like with that cute Canadian guy up there that I met at the airport baggage claim.

It can change who we are and how we want to live, like when I became a mum. And sometimes we don’t need to understand the plans love has for our lives,
it can be ‘crazy + stupid.
Cause life really is weird, you know? We don’t have to make sense of it all. It’s actually perfect in its unexpectedness.And, things always really turn out how they’re supposed to I think. So,

I'M jackie
But, this life is also fragile + brief. When I was 12 years old my dad suddenly passed away. It was more than half my life ago + now we know him just through photos + memories. I’m not that old, but even now I don’t really remember all the memories + moments.
They begin to fade.
But the images I have of him let him live on as his personality comes through in each. It’s like I can almost hear him laughing by just looking at a photo of him. Or like I can feel his embrace again. Those photos keep his memory + love fresh in my mind, even as time moves forward. What a gift.
I carry this with me every time I pick up my camera to photograph you, your love, your friends + family. Someday, I hope very far from now, your memories will fade away of this time. What remains are these photos of you, of your story, of these moments. I won’t just leave you with images you think are beautiful.
I want you to feel them.
When you reminisce back to these days + look at the photos you may not remember what happened, where you were exactly, or what was said, but
you’ll lose your breath for a split second as you can FEEL how that moment felt again.
I’m not creating images where every little piece of it is conducted + posed. I just guide you in a way that gets you comfortable + lets you unfold.
unfold.
And, I capture you, your love, your story, just as it is.
All “flaws” included.
Because these flaws, imperfections + quirks are what actually makes you, this love, this story real... so perfect.
