Let me tell you mine

A little about me. I love anything and everything creative. Making things look beautiful is my passion. Photography, fashion, design, art.

My perfect day consists of watching my kids play baseball, then heading to a winery in sunny Carmel Valley.

Hi!

I'm Jamie

BIG SUR WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.

LET'S BE FRIENDS

Hey there! I’m Jamie, the face behind the company. I started this business back in 2017. I was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. If I can't get to Big Sur in less than an hour, I don't want to move there. My parents used to take us camping in Big Sur, then I would go with friends as a teenager, and now my husband and I take our own kids there. It's a magical place, and I love being able to share all of my favorite secret spots with new clients.


I have a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications, Multimedia and Applied Computing and I worked as a Graphic Designer for ten years before I became a photographer, and discovered that I would rather using my creativity creating art out of people! I love a good craft beer, I could eat sushi all day everyday, and most of time is spent with my kids and my two dogs at the beach. I am super organized, always laughing, always down for a good meal, and always up for exploring new places.


So – if you made it this far, and you’re thinking “we should be friends.” Hit me up and let’s chat about your wedding/session!

My philosophy

I want you to have fun during our time together, I want you to forget I am there and just enjoy the people you are with. Whether that is your fiancé, or your family - I am not here for a photoshoot - I am here to capture the intimate moments between you and the ones you love. I want your session to be different. I want to tailor it to your wants, needs, and likes. Do you love to go kayaking? Let's do it! Do you want to play the guitar in the redwoods for your partner? Let's do it! Do you want to go on night hike with lanterns? Let's do it!
