I love finding the spark in ordinary moments and places and showing you the love and magic that you radiate without even realizing it.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not about what you look at. It’s what you see.” I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people wildly in love.
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.

Jaimie should be at the top of your list! Not only is she extremely talented but she is also very warm and personable. She's creative, responsive, and dependable. Jaimie knows exactly how to get people to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Rather than cueing forced-looking poses, she truly captures the true essence of her clients and how they interact with each other.

"My husband and I are SO happy we went with Jaimie as our wedding photographer! She has an ease about her that made us feel confident and comfortable in her presence. She focused on capturing candid photos of genuine interactions, while still managing to find the most beautiful light. Jaimie was a huge part of making us feel relaxed in that moment. She is obviously super talented, but also has a great ability to connect with her clients. We could't recommend more highly!
Be it the adventure of parenthood, the adventure of marriage, or an actual adventure, I would love to document your story. I shoot in a mixture of digital and film photography. I will not interrupt important moments or disrupt your energy. During portrait time, I will give guidance and basic direction so you can feel comfortable and have incredible portraits to hang in your home, I'm always down for planning something a little out of the ordinary or something a little bit different. I would love to collaborate with you and bounce some ideas around of how we can create something magical together.
