Introduction

Hello! I am so glad you visited my website! My name is Jackie, I am a local photographer in the South Sound/Tacoma area. A little bit about me, I was born and raised here in our beautiful Washington State and I love new adventures so if you know of a good spot for photos be sure to let me know! I am all ears! When I was 7 years old I was given my first camera before we went on a family trip down the Oregon Coast, I learned very quickly this was something I loved! After High School I continued with photography for family and friends, attended a few courses in college, started my own business and never looked back! I love adventures with the family! Whether its a day trip to the ocean, going camping or a drive to get some good food. I love new adventures so if you know of a good spot for photos be sure to let me know! I am all ears! When I am not behind the camera I spend my days with my beautiful family. I met and married my best friend 5 years ago... who knew the answer "sure why not" for a first date would lead to marriage a few months later. We have three amazing children ages 16, 8 and 1. They inspire me to follow my dreams each and everyday.

I wish i could mark every one of these categories. Jackie is amazing to work with. You can tell she really loves what she does. She takes time to get quality shots with good facial expressions. She cares about detail and fun to work with.

This review is long overdue. There were so many positive aspects about our interactions, the products produced, and the individuals invloved but I really want to focus on Jackie's professionalism. I inadvertently put her in an uncomfortable predicament and I didn't realize it until it happened. I purchased a package for someone else. Jackie was very communicative and let me know when it was finished. I asked if I could have a sneak peek at the photos. Turns out the other party wanted to keep it a surprise. So here was poor Jackie stuck between the 1st party, which was purchasing the package and then the other party for whom the pictures were for and both wanting something different. Anyway, the other party reached out, expressed their desires and I conceded. Jackie comes into play because she let me know the other party's wishes, which I was completely oblivious to, instead of just moving one way or the other. I truly appreciate her endeavor to work with everyone and try to make sure that all parties involved are satisfied. Bottom line, Jackie does not make decisions without consulting you first, which is greatly appreciated. Also, pictures are beautiful but I cannot post them because I do not have permission to post pictures of someone else's child.

Jackie was so fun to work with! She was very professional, but was able to keep the mood light and fun! She shot my wedding, and was able to make the groom and myself feel natural behind the camera! She was so great and flexible even during a pandemic! I will be hiring her for sure in the future to take family photos for us! I would 10/10 recommended hiring her!
