Hello! I'm Jaymie. I use She/Her pronouns! I am a Mammoth Lakes Photographer living, documenting, and forever exploring in the Eastern Sierra and Zion National Park. I am passionate about helping couples have the wedding experience of their dreams—be it an elopement or traditional wedding. I'll be there to document the honest, beautiful, and perfectly-imperfect moments of your day. Let’s do this!
Meet your Photographer, teammate, & friend—The sassy-sweet redhead behind Desert Paintbrush.
Planning your wedding can feel a lot like being surrounded by seemingly impenetrable mountains. There can be a lot of expectations surrounding what your day is supposed to look like. Your wedding experience should be full of what makes you and your partner come alive. I specialize in handcrafting photo experiences that are stress free and deliver timeless images to last you a lifetime.
Leave those external expectations behind and let’s hit the trail because you deserve photos as stunning and wild as you are.
Are you overwhelmed by a mountain of wedding planning?

Jaymie is beyond talented and give you more than just photos, she helps create moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. We came in looking for a mammoth wedding photographer but we ended up with a friend! Her photos are beyond breathtaking. Jaymie not only took photos of our special day, she added more than we could have ever imagined. I will always recommend Jaymie to anyone looking for moments to be captured and created together!

My fiance and I are getting married in Mammoth Lakes next fall, and wanted to take engagement photos during our annual camping trip to the Mammoth/June Lake area this summer. We booked a session with Jaymie and our experience was beyond amazing. She has such a quick turnaround and her photos are excellent quality. I'm very camera shy but felt comfortable during the session. Her calm and warm nature made it much easier to relax and feel natural. We enjoyed our time with Jaymie so much we would love if she could do our wedding photos as well! It definitely takes patience and a great attitude to try and photograph two cats and a husky at the same time.
Her calm and warm nature made it much easier to relax and feel natural.

Jaymie has expertly captured so many important moments of my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to relive these cherished memories. Planning our shoots was so easy and her work never gets in the way of my authentic experience. I get to just be myself, doing my thing. Most of these photos I didn't even notice her taking. What a gift! Many of the images feel so powerful that I can't even believe they're me! Jaymie has been there, behind a camera to bear witness to some of the proudest moments of my life. I couldn't be more thankful for her work. Book her! You will be so happy you did!

"My husband and I took our first trip to Mammoth Lakes and it was absolutely amazing! A big part of what made the trip so wonderful was Jaymie! We wanted one of a kind photographs of us doing what we love - being in a beautiful landscape, hiking together. Jaymie made our vision come to life! She is so friendly and personable and she knows her way around Mammoth. Not only did we get beautiful and thoughtful pictures, we had so much fun and made a new friend. Thank you Jaymie!!!"

Want the stress free wedding experience of your dreams? Hire a Mammoth Lakes Elopement Photographer! I believe an elopement is for couples who crave an intimate and stress free experience. These are rule free celebrations where the only focus is on this epic commitment two people are making to each other.
