I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

I’m sooooo excited where my business is going.  And it’s definitely taking a new direction.  I am a dreamer.  The type of person that lays awake at night dreaming of all kinds of places I could be, things I could do, just only if…. The dreams you don’t ever imagine coming true.  Things you “can only dream of.”  That’s who I am.

Recently I told some of my dear friends one of my dreams.  Something I’d love to do (that involved my business) and how amazing it would be if only I could do it.  Their response to me was…. “Well, do it!”  I realized I often spend too much time dreaming and not enough time putting effort into these dreams and taking steps toward them to make them goals rather than dreams.  So I took a risk made some contacts and I’m excited to say that it’s happening.  You’ll have to wait to find out what exactly I’m up to, but I’m excited to make this turn in a new direction and live out a dream.

With that I have to make some changes.  Starting now I am only booking weddings and senior portrait sessions.  I am no longer accepting family or children sessions throughout the year.  AH!  ALTHOUGH!!!! I will be doing 2 family mini-sessions each year in the fall and winter for the holidays.  I know the holidays are a time when everyone needs a new family photo for those great Christmas cards so I’ll be offering the mini-sessions which may be more bang for your buck! 🙂

This years 2 mini-sessions will be held October 22nd and December 3rd.  I wanted to give everyone the option of snow or no snow images 🙂  The mini-session will last 30 minutes and includes 20 images available for you to download to your computer, smartphone, share with family and friends, share on Facebook, etc. And along with that you get a discount of 20% of prints if you are in need of that photo printed and in your hand, cards, or even framed on the wall!  The openings for each day are VERY limited.  December will have even less openings than October as we move a bit slower when it’s colder out!  So if you are interested in booking a mini-session I encourage you do so right away as there aren’t many available!  Even better, the session only costs $85!!!!!  Interested? Contact me!

Can you believe we’re already talking about the holidays?!  Can’t believe September snuck up on us!  Keep checking back as I will continue to share more about my new direction 🙂  If you’re like me and a dreamer, I challenge you to stop dreaming and make it a reality 🙂  Just try it!
