Hi, I'm Jaclyn! An Arizona native, wife, mama, iced coffee and Target lover.  We have two children- Michael (7 years old) & Charlotte (6 years old) & one baby in Heaven- Brooklyn (she passed at 21 weeks in December 2020).  

Fun Facts About Me!:
I have a twin sister named Jessica!  Even though I graduated from Arizona State University, I went to University of Arizona my first year of college and shared a dorm with my sister and I absolutely loved it, just missed home! Iced coffee's are my jam.  My first car was a 2005 Toyota Corolla and I had it for 12 years! I am a huge fan of Friends, Schitts Creek, The Office, Golden Girls, and This Is Us.  Growing up we were a big Disney family- we had a dog named Aladdin, a bird named Mickey, and a hamster named Jasmine! Oh, and a minivan named- you guessed it, Minnie!



I'm so glad you're here!

Hi there, I'm Jaclyn!

MY STYLE
I love creating classic and timeless images that my clients will cherish for years. My goal for all my Family, Maternity and Newborn sessions is to connect with my clients and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I know taking photos can be stressful and not-so-enjoyable for some, so I really try to make it as stress-free and fun as possible. I love photos that have an authentic and natural feel to them.  I typically shoot within the last 90 minutes of sunset, where the light is the softest, most flattering light.  

THE EXPERIENCE
If it sounds like we are a good fit and you book a session with me, we will work together closely on finalizing a location for your session.  I also send all my clients a questionnaire so that I can get to know you better and what you want most out of your session!  I will be in contact with you prior to your session with tips to help you be prepared prior as well.  After your session you can expect your online gallery within 3 weeks!

CLIENT CLOSET
Did you know I offer a client closet for my Maternity and Newborn clients?  That's right!  As part of booking your Maternity and/or Newborn sessions with me I offer exclusive access to choose from 35+ dresses for your sessions that you can wear!
