Based on the feelings evoked from passed-down family photos that only become more meaningful as the years go by, Jocelyn’s goal is to create timeless images of everyday life and significant events. 

Classic and candid. Laid back without skipping over thoughtful details. Using film and digital photography to honor the real and emotional aspects of every wedding, family and brand she has the opportunity to photograph. Rooted in storytelling, and intended to last.

We needed someone who was laid back... I loved the light, bright and airy feel of your photography. I made both sets of parents an album for Christmas and they cherish them. [My dad] has shown it to everyone, even the mailman. 


“You were the easy choice. The photos are approachable and classic.”

Betsy, Bride

[I just received] three albums of the wedding photos — and I can’t tell you how great they are. I laughed and smiled and cried. The photos are gorgeous and you caught everything and everyone beautifully. What a gift you have to all of us!


“I laughed and smiled and cried. The photos are gorgeous.”

She completely took my vision for the photography and ran with it, returning the most beautiful, stunning set of photographs from our wedding. It was very important to us that we capture the emotion of the day — not just the staged portraits — and when we look at her pictures, we are filled with sheer joy. As a bride, you don't realize how much time you will be spending with your photography team. Jocelyn and her team were SO much fun to be around, kept us moving, kept us focused....I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about her.


“Do yourself a favor — stop looking anywhere else, save yourself valuable time, and just hire Jocelyn!!!”

Sabrina, Bride

Not only did Jocelyn capture all our special moments but she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. We have hundreds of gorgeous portraits and photos celebrating our day and highlighting the love of all our friends and family. Stop searching the internet, put the phone down, and look no further everyone, Jocelyn is it!


“Everything felt natural, not staged, allowing the beauty and the spark of everyone at our wedding to be imprinted in time.”

Amy and Andrew, Couple

I use both film and digital mediums depending on the needs of the situation (digital is great in low light, for example). I am drawn to film because it’s the most accurate representation of how I view things. 

why do you use film?

I like to let the story of the day unfold naturally with as little influence from me as possible. I do provide direction during portraits, but those are shared to elevate what's there and to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
