Hi, I am

The eye, heart, and creative soul behind Jackie Shay Photography + Creative.

I’m a photographer, storyteller, and love-chaser, passionate about capturing the raw, real, and in-between moments that make life beautiful.


Photography is more than just pictures to me—it’s about freezing emotion in time. Whether it’s the tender chaos of motherhood, the way a couple holds onto each other like the world disappears, or the passion that fuels a small business, I believe every story deserves to be told with depth, warmth, and intention.

why I do what i do



As a mother, I know how fast time moves. How fleeting these moments can be. And that’s why I do what I do—because I believe in preserving love in all its forms. With a documentary-style approach and an eye for intimate, storytelling imagery, I create galleries that make you feel. That bring you back. That remind you how deeply you are loved.

Laugh until you snort. Bare feet. Wind blown hair. The beautifully ordinary deserves remembering too.
