I work to capture your authentic selves and send you home timeless photos that are full of warmth and life. I do that by taking the time to genuinely connect with each person I work with. Our time together will not be rushed or forced. We go at your pace and craft photo experiences to remember.

You don't need to have previous experience. You don't need to be models or even comfortable in front of the camera. You just need to come with an openness to trying something new and believe in the process. Something I make easy for you. 

Let's create photos that leave you with a sense of "omg! that's me?!" that you get to cherish for years to come.

I am located in Southern Utah just outside Zion National Park although, in the summers you can find me in the Eastern Sierra photographing weddings in Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Where are you located?

It depends on the shoot—the duration, what we end up doing, etc. These will be edited, high resolution images edited by yours truly and delivered via an online gallery.

How Many Images Are Included?

Have you ever been out on a trail, only to find it completely trashed? Leave No Trace is a set of intentions that, at the heart of it, helps people think about how they can engage in the outdoors while leaving the least impact. 

What is leave no trace?

I accept payments online through Honeybook! You can pay via credit card however as a small business owner, I prefer Bank Transfer.

How Does Payment Work?

The first step is to nail down a date and how much time you want to spend together. Then I'll send over a contract and invoice. Once the non-refundable retainer is paid, we'll begin planning!

How Do I Book You?

SAME HERE! I am a major dork and odd ball myself. And I really love people. You have nothing to prove with getting photos taken. If you're feeling awkward, we'll work together to find something that feels more natural for you.

But we are super awkward...

In order to book your date, I require a non-refundable retainer. If you have to cancel, I will work with you to try and reschedule/find a better time for you that fits my availability!

What If We Cancel/Reschedule Our Date?

I have been a photographer for 14 years–I got started when I discovered my mom's film Minolta and began photographing the life around me. People have always been my favorite subjects to document.

How Long Have You Been A Photographer?

As long as the location allows it, heck yes you can! I love dogs so so much. I just ask you might bring a friend along to help be dog wrangler for when we want a few photos without your perfect fur baby.

Can we bring the doggo?

If there is bad weather where we had planned to go, I'm going to work some magic and find an alternate location for us to shoot at! If that doesn't work then we'll explore other times we could move the shoot to.

What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

First and foremost, I think it's important to wear something that makes you feel most like yourself. The more comfortable you are, the more that will shine through in photos! I do offer a what to wear guide for each specific location we may go to! This will be emailed to you during our planning process

What Do We Wear To Our Photoshoot?

Adventure Sessions are 1-2 hour photo sessions typically used for proposals, engagements, anniversaries, or just because. We pick one or two close locations and hike up to two miles. Note, this package does not fit as an option for elopements — your wild day deserves more time and attention than that!

What is an adventure session?

For any session that isn't a wedding or elopement, the turnaround time is 2 weeks! Elopements and weddings take 10 weeks for the final images to be delivered. However—I will send a sneak peak within a week of our time together!

What Is Your Turnaround?

I do not charge travel fees for any local to Mono/Inyo County/Southern Utah locations—if we create a customized experience that reaches beyond the Eastern Sierra, travel fees will be included in the price!

How Does Travel Expenses Work?

Absolutely. I'm here to help pick the perfect location, recommend vendors, create a time line for your elopement, and SO much more. I love the planning process!

Do You Help In The Planning Process?

I do! I photograph families in Mammoth Lakes, CA and Zion National Park. You can find more of that work on the families page.

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.

The park was doing last minute construction and we had to change the wedding location the morning of. Jaymie showed up an hour early (on her own) to scope out the new location and even emailed the park to see about other locations. That was all before she even met us in person! Her photos speak for themselves, but if you’re looking for someone to make you feel taken care of, beautiful, and to have so much fun on your hikes to your photo spots - she. Is. Your. Girl. Cannot recommend her enough. Thanks so much again, Jaymie, for all you did for us!!

Jaymie is the kind of person you want in your corner on your elopement day.

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!

Our experience with Jaymie was great from the start... Jaymie’s knowledge of Yosemite and her creativity allowed her to elevate our experience and captured images beyond our imagination. When rain washed out our planned sunset hike to Taft Point, she suggested a “Valley Romp” where we could hop out at various spots in the valley. She even offered umbrellas and lots of enthusiasm. That pivot gave us the opportunity to get photos with a rainbow over half dome, which for us was like hitting the lottery. We would give her 100 stars if we could.
