Hi, I'm Jocelyn

Former elementary school music teacher turned brand experience designer and photographer. From teaching music to designing brands, my work has always been about connection. Today, I help brands craft experiences that matter and capture stories through photography.

When I’m not designing or behind the camera, I’m snuggling with my dog Jake or exploring the world with my husband, Keith.

Work With Me

"Jocelyn did an amazing job of understanding the functions I wanted in a website, and in selecting a hosting platform that had all the functionality I needed. I'm excited to see my business grow now that it has a brand new, functional home on the web!"

"Jocelyn has the skill to take a simple idea and elevate it with her artistic vision. I love working with her. It was an honor having her shoot my engagement, elopement, and maternity pictures. You can trust Jocelyn to capture special moments with thoughtfulness and care, and deliver a beautiful, quality product."

Sabrina B.

Portrait Client

"I enlisted Jocelyn's help to create logos for programming in our school district. She did a great job applying notes and feedback to progress the designs into the final product. In art and design, everyone has an expectation for the end result. The work of a good designer is when a product emerges that exceeds what you thought you wanted. I gave Jocelyn a note to simply make one design "untidy and unkempt" and she came back with a really impressive approach that exceeded my original vision and one that I'm very excited to present to our administrators. She'll be an asset to anyone aiming to employ her services."

"I have had so many compliments on the incredible maternity photos that Jocelyn took! She and her assistant were extremely professional, thoughtful about the vision we had for the shoot, and captured our excitement. We would definitely book her again."

Holly M.

Portrait Client

"Jocelyn’s talent is so special that we wish that we would get engaged again just as an opportunity to relive the photoshoot. Not only did she pick the best spots within our chosen location, but her and Keith were beyond attentive with our doggie. The expressions captured were better than we could have ever imagined!"
