Hello! I'm josi, a passionate photographer specializing in creating timeless memories.  i met my high school sweetheart, austin back in 2007. we've literally grown up together and have built a beautiful life. we've been married for just over 10 years & are proud parents of four - our fur baby, diesel, an angel baby, lucas, and our two miracle children - henry jackson and abigail jaymes. they are my inspiration behind the name jackson jaymes photography.

both henry and abigail were born premature and spent significant time in the nicu, also facing developmental challenges after discharge. time has flown in our lives as parents, but now that our family is complete i am able to shift some of my focus on my dream - photography. 

every family has unique story, even mine!

Let's be real, the reason I got into photography was to take photos of my kids. They are my inspiration, my muses. During my off season, I love to take courses and try new concepts, so of course my kids are always my subjects. We have fun and I hope they look back at these times as good memories made with me. I also cannot wait to teach them photography when they get a little older.

I BELIEVE IN BEING YOUR TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF

 I VALUE MY ART AND INDUSTRY

I BELIEVE IN CREATING A STRESS-FREE, FUN, & COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT

I AM HERE TO SERVE YOU

listen up friend, i am here to give you the best photography experience EVER! from the moment you book me, you will have my word that i will work my hardest to give you everything you need and more to have a positive and memorable experience for any and all sessions you book me for! i am an incredibly proactive person and make sure that prior to your shoot we are set up for success. i always answer emails, texts and calls from my clients as promptly and thoroughly as possible. i am there to help if you need suggestions on outfits and locations. i work to deliver your final photo gallery in a very timely manner. i listen and take into account all of your wants, needs, and concerns. rest assured, i am here for you.

my job is to show who you are as a person by expressing your genuine vision, emotions, and perspective. It means embracing your unique style, interests, and experiences rather than conforming to external expectations or trends. my hope is that you can trust my photography expertise while staying true to your own vision. This collaboration involves a balance between your personal input and the my creative direction, therefore creating a beautiful representation of who you are as a whole.

just like you, photographers are real people too trying to keep our businesses alive and provide for ourselves. with that being said, my pricing is based off my experience, the time i dedicate to my work, business expenses and what it cost for my family and i to live. i strive to be incredibly transparent right off the bat with my pricing so there are no surprises for anyone later on. i also believe in pricing that values the integrity of not only my art but others in my industry as well so i do not offer discounts or undercharge the industry standard. with all that being said, rest assured if you choose me as your photographer what you invested will reflect my services and your final products!

one of the biggest reasons i love what i do is getting to meet and document so many people's stories from all walks of life. i love celebrating and being around diversity in all forms. i strive as a person to promote love and acceptance for all and will never turn anyone away based off their race, sexuality, politics, religious beliefs, etc. i will never discourage anyone from being who they truly are especially during a shoot when the whole point is to capture the real you! in the words of miranda lambert, "it takes all kinds of kinds."
