Welcome! My name is Jackie.

My passion for photography began at a young age. I got my first DSLR in high school, spending countless hours capturing photos of my friends and travels, simply loving the act of documenting the world around me.

Originally from New Jersey, I made the bold decision to move across the country to attend the University of California, Santa Barbara—a dream come true. In my junior year, I studied abroad in Prague and took my first digital photography class. After years of hesitating to take my passion seriously, I finally started to realize my potential. Upon returning to Santa Barbara, I worked tirelessly to save up for my first professional mirrorless camera, and that investment truly changed the game. Since then, photography has been my constant—shooting, editing, and refining my craft every day.

I graduated with a degree in Film & Media and Economics in 2024 (to ease my parents' concerns, of course). Now, I'm pursuing a career in entertainment alongside growing my photography business—and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead!
