"I did my first boudoir shoot with Shay and she was flipping phenomenal! She made me so comfortable and confident and we talked like I’ve known her my whole life. I was able to bring outfits I had and look through her client closet as well. I showed her poses I like and she made them happen. I absolutely love her and her work. Definitely check her out and enjoy the experience that is Shay and her amazing talent. I will be booking many more times with her."

"Shay made our experience better than great! We had a small elopement at the courthouse and somehow she still managed to make everything look and feel magical! And the way she treated my daughter is beyond words. She let my daughter help us pose, click the camera a few times, and was more than patient when my daughter threw her typical toddler tantrum lol. We love Shay! I can’t recommend her enough 🖤"

Mikayla

"Jackie did my very first branding shoot and I couldn’t be happier with the results!!! She is so much fun to work with, very professional, and knows how to capture the very essence of your work and passion through her work. Thank you so much!!!"

Catalina

"I had the pleasure of meeting Jackie at a grand opening event and my gosh- I am glad I did! She is beyond patient, sweet, relatable and truly a talent behind the camera! Definitely will be reaching out to Jackie for a fall family photo session!!"

Caitlin

"Shay was amazing! She did an incredible job of making me feel like we’d been friends for years, which helped me really relax and feel confident! Turn around time was about two weeks and she sent me the entire portfolio from the session to choose from. Picking my faves and downloading was a smooth and easy process. My photos turned out INCREDIBLE, and I couldn’t be happier."

Courtney

"Shay captured some of the MOST beautiful, natural photos of me and my little girl that i will forever cherish. She is super diverse in her photography methods and made me and my daughter feel super comfortable and free to be us the entire time🤍"

Taylor

"Four words…AMAZING, Romantic, Gorgeous and Creative work. My husband and I booked Shay to photograph our big day. Let me tell you we both feel so grateful and blessed to have chosen her to capture our moments! She worked tentatively with us to create a list of all the shots we wanted and then some. Shay was always easy to get ahold of, made us feel very heard and comfortable and listened to every idea we had!

When it came to the day of the wedding Shay was on top of it! This girl was helpful, flexible, understanding, DETAILED, kind and just all around in the zone!

Shay wasted no time in sending us sneak peaks. We received a few photos the very next day and then a few more the following week. When we got all of our photos back I couldn’t believe how beautifully captured every little detail of our big day was!! Shay didn’t miss a beat and her work is just absolutely beautifully done!

Shay we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for how much sweat, time, dedication, creativity and LOVE you put into our photos and our big day! We are beyond obsessed with all of our pictures and will cherish them deeply for the rest of our days ♥️✨

You WILL NOT regret booking her!"
