personal
Welcome to my personal gallery! I believe that photographing my daily life plays a huge roll in my growth as a lifestyle photographer. I often consider myself an observer of life capturing magic in the, sometimes, mundaneness of daily life.
Let's Connect
So I am pretty sure I have never introduced myself on Instagram with images. I am kind of weird about sharing images of myself but since I finally got some updated headshots and I am moving to a new area, maybe now is a good time to share a bit.
Heeeyyyy….
I’m Jamie. Mother to 4. Ages, 28, 17, 15, and 8. Currently experiencing all stages of life. LOL! I was born and raised in San Diego, California but moved to Las Vegas when I got married and planted our roots here for 22 years. Now, we are moving on to new adventures in Tyler, Texas and I am really looking forward to this new chapter and all that it will bring.
I am celebrating 14 years in business as a family photographer this month! Kind of wild. I’ve done it all from teaching classes, hosting workshops, and even being a second shooter at a few weddings. But what really brings me joy in all of it, is maintaining a more quiet, very low key presence in the photography community. I love my business, but I also love my family and don’t want to miss out on the memories that we make.
I quit teaching so I could homeschool my kids and be more present and I couldn’t be happier. Now we are headed to Texas in hopes to really embrace the simpler life with a little bit of land, a garden and maybe some chickens in our future. Stay tuned!

Had a gorgeous session up on the mountain last night. Thank goodness because we are hitting 100’s this week now consistently, but it was beautiful perfect weather on the mountain.
Little man really just wanted to play in the dirt. So of course we captured a lot of that with his dirty face and all! He made us all work but that cute little face was worth it.
As a reminder, I have a big announcement coming end of day so stay tuned!

I haven’t been to this location in so long, but it will forever be etched in my mind as one of the most magical places outside of Las Vegas.

Let’s play a game of how many images can I fit into one IG post?
Seriously though, this session was such a dream! The location, the wardrobe choices, the stormy and rainy skies, and magic light! All of it worked in our favor. Thank God because we did have lightening striking literally directly above our heads at one point.
This beautiful couple came from out of town and wanted an epic desert session while they were here for their maternity images. So that is exactly what I gave them and the timing of getting to shoot this session here what so perfect for me!
Thank you to the team at @desertgracebeauty_lv for the amazing hair and makeup that really held up through the 40mph gusty winds.

This is what a session with a grumpy toddler looks like…
Doesn’t look like it… huh? Grumpy toddlers just mean we have to work a little harder at making moments. Good thing I brought some bubbles. It worked for a bit along with A LOT of exploration and a Mom who was totally committed to getting some good moments!

Pretty sure I am experiencing all 557 emotions today and I can’t talk about it yet, but I will be able to very soon!
On another note, I am also feeling crazy excited because I get to go shoot at a location that I have ALWAYS wanted to shoot at but couldn’t really without knowing someone who knows someone. Well, I finally have that client and it could not have been more perfect timing.
So we are headed to a gorgeous ranch this evening and spending two hours roaming around the grounds to shoot their family session. I won’t be able to share it on social media, but I do have permission to share it on my website so stay tuned for a blog post on this one!!!

I know it’s Sunday and I shouldn’t post, but I don’t care. I couldn’t wait. Last night turned out to be SO incredible. The most epic maternity session. I was so worried because it was CRAZY windy. We had 40mph gusts, but my client was from out of town and there was no option to reschedule so we both decided to just go for it.
It rained on us. We also watched lighting striking in the sky above our heads but we somehow we still managed to make the most magical images. The sky and location did not disappoint.
Also HUGE shoutout to the team at @desertgracebeauty_lv for hooking it up with hair and makeup because despite the winds, my clients hair hung in there and she looked beautiful! Can’t wait to share this whole session.
