Award-Winning Documentary-Style Photographer
working with jaimie
My style is all about capturing real, raw moments—nothing forced or posed. When you work with me, it’s laid-back and fun, like hanging out with an old friend. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly, I’ll let your day unfold naturally so you can focus on being fully present while I document the magic.
Hey, I’m Jaimie—your go-to documentary-style photographer, based in Joshua Tree and the Midwest. I believe that love is love, Black lives matter, and trans rights are human rights.
My mission is to create a safe space for all couples to be themselves, and to document your love story in a way that’s raw, real, and honest. I’m here to capture your most authentic moments while helping you plan a day that’s as unique and badass as you are.
