Why I Love Photography!
You're here! Thank you so much again for visiting!
Originally a bay area girl from Cali, I actually began my art journey as a painter! After attending UCLA, I moved to NYC to attain my BFA in photography. I've been in NYC for almost 2 decades which is crazy! Arts (and crafts) have always been a passion of mine, and my favorite part of joining your journey is getting to know you and your partner and capturing gorgeous images. I have now been photographing professionally for over 13 years and have experience with ALL different types of venues.
Having your photos taken is by no means easy and can be very awkward; my goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible to be your true selves. I always suggest an engagement shoot or a meet up so you can get to me and feel at ease when a camera is on you. Many clients have mentioned that sessions feel just like spending time with an old friend (which is a big compliment, so thank you!).
Photos are so essential, so capturing gorgeous images of your love is so vital. Whether your photos end up on the wall, on your desk, or in a beautiful album (which we do offer), you'll visit your images time and time again and have those wonderful memories return.

About Jacq AKA Eve
I'd like to warn you that if you have a pet, in particular a dog (or a rabbit!), you may end up with a catalog of 2000 dog images (I'm kidding, but hopefully you get my point!) I absolutely love animals and am excited to partner with certain shelters to help their animals find their forever home.
Besides painting which I mentioned above, I find such joy in cooking, music, sewing, and pretty much anything crafty. This includes making MANY custom bridal hangers for clients and other brides via my Etsy shop. (If you're interested, please ask!) Currently I live with my husky labrador named Amelie aka Melly (12 years old!), and my tripod tuxedo kitty cat named Harley (16 years old!) in upper Manhattan.
My life dream is to be able to start an animal sanctuary someday, where animals ranging from raccoons to foxes and beyond can call HOME. A short list of creatures I'm in love with (besides the above): sloths, otters, manatees, beavers, pandas...the list goes on and on.
Please don't hesitate to tell me if you have a furry creature of your own; I will ALWAYS bring treats!
