my life
I’m Jamie - a wife & mama of 2, lover of sunshine, wine & singing songs I most likely don’t know the words to. My favorite place to be is at the lake with my family, sipping on boat drinks & listening to good music in the warm summer sun….and after writing that I really wish I was there now. I’ve been taking photos of others for over 10 years now & although I’ve photographed lots of different subjects, in 2020 I made the move to photograph what speaks to my mama heart….and turns out, it’s other mamas & their babes. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to the editing process but love to go with the flow during sessions. I have a ton of patience when it comes to littles & for me…the more laughter & chaos during a session, the better. I’m a talker & an open book…so don’t ever worry about feeling awkward in from of me. I’ve literally said, done & saw it all during sessions. Chances are I’ll leave thinking I probably talked too much & then laugh it off because I know we had a great time & I got amazing photos of your family. I leave every session on a high. I’m good at what I do, I love what I do & I feel so blessed to live this life.
my story
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2015...just days after my oldest, Ellie {now 9} took her first steps. I was devastated. I needed something to keep my mind occupied...a passion, a purpose, something I could give to others. That's when I registered my business & my journey with photography began. My cancer diagnosis continues to be part of my everyday & to show my gratitude for all the research that's been done to get me where I am today, I donate a portion of every session fee toward cancer research.

"Jamie did both maternity photos and a family session for me. I could not be happier with the photos she took. Jamie is super easy to work with and fun! She did a great job instructing and posing us. We ended up with a large variety of poses and backgrounds. I loved how much positive energy she brings to the session. She also give you tons of help and guidance for getting ready including outfit planning and suggestions. She even has dresses for you to borrow. I am so happy to have found Jamie!"
