Be wild, but stay soft.

Hi! I’m Jazz! I was born and raised in a small town in California and currently live in Vancouver, WA with my husband and our son!
I started my photography journey back in 2015. Blame it on my Youtube/Blogger obsessed self, but there was nothing I loved more than snapping a good photo of myself for the gram. At the time, my world was immersed in the alternate-reality that was social media. When I really dug deeper into my love for self-portraits, I realized it was a way to see myself in a new light. I have always struggled with self-love and acceptance growing up, but through self-portraiture, I felt beautiful, confident, and completely whole.Since then, and since working through my own mental health journey, I’ve found that my ultimate goal is to help others find their light in themselves the same way I found mine.
Becoming a mom has added a profound new layer to my perspective on photography. I've realized just how quickly time flies and how essential it is to capture these fleeting seasons of our lives. This is why I hold a special place in my heart for maternity, family, and motherhood shoots. These moments are so precious and deserve to be preserved in a way that feels authentic and timeless.
While I specialize in wedding photography and portraiture, I also specialize in people. :) So, bring me all the awkwardness. I’ll be an ear to listen, your hype girl in the corner, or an extra hand where you need it (yes- I actually have a package for this!) Bring me you, exactly as you are. When we feel truly ourselves and accepted, our soul shines through.
I can’t wait to meet you.
