If I’ve only had a handful of pinch me moments before… but this is definitely one of them. Before I ever even started photography, Style Me Pretty was one of my very favorite wedding publications. I loved scrolling their blog and seeing all the beautiful pictures of happy couples and their gorgeous, detail-filled, wedding days. […]

    I BOUGHT A FIGGY!!!!!! I have dreamed of having a Figaro ever since I saw one cruising through the streets of London back in 2019, but I could never seem to justify purchasing one for myself… until this past January. I’d seen so many figgys popping up throughout towns in the southeast that were […]

I have dreamed of having a print shop for years… and this past week, I finally stopped and asked myself “Jacqueline, why haven’t you just launched it already?” If you know me in real life, you probably know what a perfectionist I am. I’m forever tweaking and “fixing” things that don’t really need it, but […]

I’ve been working on switching to a new gallery service these last few weeks and it’s been so fun to go through all the past weddings, portraits, and editorials I’ve gotten to do over the years! I didn’t realize that I hadn’t shared much from this beautiful workshop I got to attend back in 2020… […]

Can anyone else believe it’s already November?!?! (or as I like to call it… Mashed Potato Month) I feel like I blinked and 2021 is almost over! If you don’t already know this- Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I feel EXTREMELY passionate about not putting up the Christmas tree, playing Christmas music, or doing […]

Alexis is officially Mrs. Carnes!! This means I can FINALLY share her bridal session!!! I have had so much fun getting to know Alexis and Shawn over the past few months. They are just such sweet, genuine, and kind people. We went to Charleston for their engagement session this spring and the night before their […]

I miss Haley. And I miss Boston- but mostly Haley. Fun story- I actually, kinda, stole her job this summer. She has been interning with my friend Micaela and has been her 2nd shooter all year… until I showed up at the end of July! I didn’t think I would get to meet her, but […]

“Then I examined my own heart. And there you were. Never, I fear, to be removed.” – Jane Austen Finally getting around to blogging this gorgeous shoot!! And I’m so proud to have had it featured on The White Wren!! I still look back on all my pictures from England and have to pinch myself […]

One of my favorite parts of my trip to New England was how many new friends I made while I was there. DeAngela and Jeff got married last year during the pandemic and one of my best friends, Micaela, photographed their wedding!! They found out soon after that they were expecting a little boy- and […]

Right after my couples book me, I send a little get to know you questionnaire. It goes over lots of basics- mailing address, important anniversaries, and what is their favorite thing about the other person? I LOVE reading the answers to that last question because my couples always write the sweetest things about each other- […]
