Hello, I’m Jay — a photographer, dreamer, and lover of all things natural and nostalgic. With over 15 years behind the camera and two photography studios in my past, I’ve photographed nearly everything: from joyful weddings to styled fine-art portraits, and from quiet, creative moments in the woods to sweeping scenes beside a waterfall. Along the way, photography has become more than just my profession — it’s also been therapy and storytelling for me.

My style is fine art meets storytelling — soft, whimsical, and emotion-filled, sometimes even a little dark, but always with beauty at its core. I love weaving symbolism, flowing fabrics, flowers, and thoughtful props into my sessions, turning them into something that feels timeless, like pages from a storybook.

Now rooted in Missouri, I’m falling in love all over again with the simple magic of creating images that carry both meaning and memory. Whether we’re making magic beneath a willow tree, wandering near a river, or soaking up the quiet poetry of connection, my goal is to create portraits that feel like art — where styled storytelling meets heartfelt expression.
