“We found Jamie while searching for queer-affirming wedding photographers. As a gay couple, we knew we needed a professional who is comfortable capturing expressions of love across a broad spectrum. As Jamie’s portfolio proves, she is well practiced at this. Jamie is a committed ally to our community who does her research and ensures that she does business only with venues and vendors who do not discriminate against queer clients. Beyond that, here’s what makes her an excellent photographer: (1) she is warm and deeply kind, which is crucial to putting her clients at ease and eliciting natural displays of love in an inherently unnatural situation (i.e., cuddling and smooching on cue); (2) she gives direction with a great sense of humor—we will never forget some of her hilariously memorable tips (e.g., watch out for “T-Rex arms”); (3) she is willing to take charge, which is necessary for corralling and posing groups of family and friends while sticking to a schedule; and (4) she is an artist with great care for her craft—she captured our space beautifully and absolutely nailed the blended look of modern and traditional we were going for. We will recommend her to everyone we know who needs to commemorate life’s milestones with a professional photographer, and whenever we have another milestone to commemorate, she is the first person we’ll call. In the meantime, we hope to see her again at the finish line of the Houston Marathon!”
