Summer. Crazy. Fun.

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. 

hey hey

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.

It’s Friday. June 29th.  Um what-the-french happened to June? It’s like summer is 1/3 of the way over, sorta. I have signed myself up for a crazy ride over the next few months. Honestly I’m really pumped about it.  It all starts this time next week. I’ll be franticly pulling out my bag, rolling clothes, double checking that I’ve packed every piece of camera gear I need.  Then I’m hopping on a plane.

The next week I’ll be in L.A. for a crazy intense business workshop with Jeff Jochum. Jeff is a genius, f’real. I’m really excited. The craziest part of it is that it will all be streamed LIVE on the internet. So if you’re interested in some wisdom from Jeff, tune in.  Then the last day all of us attendees pitch our business to Jeff and YOU and YOU get to vote on a winner! It’s like reality game show for photographers. Here’s more info on that! 

The next day is Showit’s Global SHARE meetup! So if you are a showiteer make sure you get together with your SHARE group, or another showiteer and tune in on July 12th!  Guests this month are the incredibly talented photographer Trevor Dayley, Jeff Jochum, and myself!  Trevor and I will be giving you all the dirt on Jeff! No not really, but we will be talking about Fight Club the craziness and amazingness around it and all about specializing your business!

And the next morning I’m on a plane again to my FAVORITE place, Vancouver, British Columbia. I am SOOOO excited to be headed back there!  See some friends, catch up with brides, shoot a gorgeous wedding with my Justine Russo and then finishing the trip with Justine helping me at a wedding. I’m SO excited!

Then it’s back home to my family, 4 portrait sessions a wedding and then off to Idaho for another wedding. And during all of this Joe and I are trying to buy a house. CRAZY!!!!!!!!  But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And don’t worry I’ll be bloggin and instagramming through all of it!!! WOOHOO!!!

We’re waiting to hear back about an offer we put in on a house today and my anxiety level is through the roof! I’m off to get more coffee, of course! Happy Friday!!!!! Cross your fingers, say a prayer, send good vibes, or all of the above that we get this house!!

Today’s project! Senior twins!  Senior mini-sessions will be announced soon!
