We're friends now, call me Jackie
Mom, book lover, and reality-tv addict
I am a 31 year old, natural light photographer, who bounces between my home in the Quad Cities and Chicagoland. Besides freezing moments in time, there's nothing I love more than dance parties with my family, a delicious sandwich, and my incredible clients!
"Her editing is timeless, beautiful and efficient"
Jackie is so talented in so many ways!
1. Obviously she is an amazing photographer. Our photos have consistently turned out amazing - We have received so many compliments from friends & family. Even in a mini session, every single photo she delivers is a beautiful shot. You'll wonder HOW she made you/your family look SO good!
2. Her editing is timeless, beautiful & efficient. You can tell Jackie puts so much love and effort into perfectly editing every photo and yet, she doesn't take months and months to get your pictures back to you.
3. She will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera! Jackie is so warm and inviting during her sessions. You can be yourself and feel totally at home in front of the camera (even if it's not your favorite place to be). When it comes to including kids in pictures, she is a natural! Our family actually has fun during photo shoots and that is evident in the photos you will receive.

"We absolutely look forward to our time with Jackie"
Her warmth and affable personality is evident in how comfortable she makes us feel in front of the camera - especially when there's the added chaos of little children to manage. She is thoughtful, composed, organized, and her editing style is timeless. We've loved every photo she's taken for us.

"Choosing Jackie as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made"
Choosing Jackie as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. Three things in particular stood out.
Flexible: Jackie was extremely flexible whether it was location to take photos, order of taking photos, changing timelines, etc.
Easy to work with: Jackie was so easy to work with regardless of your comfort level being in front of the camera. She made people who typically hate being in front of the camera enjoy taking photos, which can be extremely helpful depending on your bridal party! Also she was great at catching the shots you wanted but she was never in the way or felt like she was hovering.
Talent: I cannot express how much we love our wedding photos. Jackie did such an amazing job with the photos - the coloring and lighting is amazing. The hardest part is going to be not printing out every photo to hang in our home.

"The photos I received back are so beautiful and bright"
I had a great experience! The photos I received back are so beautiful, bright, and captured my family in such a fun and perfect way. My experience with being in front of the camera felt fun and laid back. Jackie was patient with my kids and gave helpful direction as we moved through the session. Highly recommend!!

"She went above and beyond"
Jackie shot our engagement photos and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined! Not only does she have an amazing eye and talent for taking great photos, but she went above and beyond by doing so much research to find us the perfect spot that lined up with our vision and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out! She made the experience so fun and easy for us, and we received our photos very timely. We can't wait for her to shoot our wedding next year and future photos to come!

"Highly recommend her as a photographer and human"
Jackie shot both our engagement and wedding and I could not be happier with the results. I was a pretty Type A DIY bride, and Jackie listened to me and helped with so many random wedding-related questions I had. She was down for all of my ideas and went above and beyond what so many photographers would do for our engagement photos (including several locations and using her dog mom voice to give our fur child an excess of bribery treats.) She made us both, including my very photo-adverse husband, feel so comfortable and happy during all photos. Highly recommend her as a photographer and human!
