Philosophy
I believe that you have milestones in your life that deserve to be captured. It’s important to have the ability to look back on the joy, love, and happiness in your life. I want to provide the storytelling images that you will share with your family and friends for years to come.
Photography Style
My photography style is a blend of natural, intimate, and emotional storytelling. I help clients feel at ease by guiding them through natural looking poses to evoke genuine emotions.
Documenting your love story and capturing life’s candid moments are my favorite parts of my job. It’s so easy to provide a fun and memorable client experience because I’m having fun and truly love what I do!
About Jodie
Like any household in the 2000s, you could always find a disposable camera somewhere. Especially at my grandma’s house. That’s where I got my debut, constantly asking my mom and grandma if I could play with their cameras.
During college, I worked as a social media manager for a bank and was given access to an old Canon camera. I brought it home for about a week to learn how it worked. I was so excited I had friends pose for me in my backyard!
Fast forward to 2023. I tried pursuing the white collar office work for a couple years after graduating college. I was incredibly restless and needed a switch. I decided to purchase my first Canon camera and immediately jumped into weddings and portraits.
It was the best decision I had ever made.
Since then, I have attended several trainings and online programs to expand on my knowledge in the art of photography. Being self-taught is an achievement on its own, but I recognize there is always room to learn from others!
We help brides and moms document their unforgettable memories and milestones, with timeless and natural photography in a documentary style.
Our incredible client experience was carefully designed to make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and seen.
