Careful considerations of composition, light, and color make up the elements of a beautiful and compelling photograph and often, they align in a blink of an eye. This documentary style approach is what I aim for when capturing the love between two humans, but also understanding what that moment and that photograph mean to a couple in the context of a lifetime.
All variations of a wedding day, couples session, family session, motherhood, portraiture, and brand photos are beautiful, personal, and worthy of being documented.
There is no doubt that being behind the camera is my artistic home space.
I've been taking photographs since I was about 12 years old, and I've been seriously engaged in photographic art since my early 20's, when I took a darkroom photography class at a studio in Portland, Oregon. That's where I realized that I loved the entire process--not just shooting, but also developing, scanning, and editing.
I collaborate best with couples and people who appreciate the candid moments that unfold through connecting with one another; people who feel nostalgic for the present moment; people who strive to be present with their friends and family; and people that trust me to discover what's honestly beautiful about themselves & in their lives.
"Jocelyn is AMAZING! She photographed our wedding in March and perfectly captured every moment and emotion of our day. Our wedding gallery literally felt like we got to relive our whole wedding day. We also LOVE our super 8 video that feels like we stepped back in time. Jocelyn was also SO communicative and such a hype woman!
"Jocelyn was amazing to have at our wedding, capturing our big day. She is so creative and has such an eye for capturing these special moments. Not only was she on it with the pictures, she was so nice and fun- we just adored her and her personality. My entire family and all of my friends are in love with the pictures, and we are too. If you are looking for someone to shoot pictures of your wedding or really any types of events she offers, PLEASE book her. You wont regret it."
"We LOVE Jocelyn!! We absolutely loved loved loved working with her. She did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. She totally got our vibe and vision, and she took the time to really get to know us. She's up for anything and when stuff didn't go as planned, she adapted, no problem. She really got our personalities and understood what was important to us. Jocelyn is so authentic, she loves what she does and that makes all the difference. It did for us! As a super self conscious bride, she helped me feel my best by being so supportive and made everything fun! Booking her was definitely the BEST decision we made. We're so happy to have a new friend in Jocelyn."
"Jocelyn is the one! She shot our wedding this past May and let me tell you she captured EVERY moment PERFECTLY!!! ALL of our pictures are our favorite! They all look AMAZING we cannot pick just one! Naturally it can be a bit of a stressful day but Jocelyn has a way of making you feel safe, connected and even forget what was stress is in the first place! Anyone can take pictures but Jocelyn captures the energy, love and happiness with her cameras ."
