poetic, embodied, & soulful storytelling FOR EARTH & SOUL CONNECTED HUMANS

Welcome

“Attention Is The Beginning Of Devotion.”
– Mary Oliver

I’m Jackie, a Seattle family and rewilding photographer who lives to cultivate connection and presence while creating art from the human experience.

Society tells us that we should look, act, and be a certain way. But we know there’s more to the human experience than the “should’s” imposed on us by others, and we’re longing to explore the edges of what’s truly possible…in our relationships, our families, and the depths of our own soul.

More than anything we are longing to reconnect.

This isn’t just a photo session, it’s an invitation to peel back and strip away what doesn’t matter and get to the essence of what does.

You won’t receive a collection of poses, because it’s the moments that do matter. The raw, messy, quiet, chaotic, beautiful, embodied, soulful, real moments that make up the fabric of your human experience.

Let’s marvel together, creating art that feels as wild, sweet, and true as your journey.

This Is Your Portal To Presence.

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR Connection

Your Family is Poetry

Your Bellingham Family Photographer

Your connection with your partner is sacred. You have chosen to live life with this person and to carry each other when needed during the journey. There is music in your baby’s laughter and your toddler lives life with their whole body. Your children love you as you are in the moment, not as you think you should be. Theirs is an unwavering and pure love that exists outside the realm of society’s and our own unforgiving expectations.

This is not about posed perfection; this is a journey into connection—a celebration of the wild, sacred rhythm of your everyday life.

Your only job is to love the way you already do, be who you already are, connect in all the ways that are you, and let me do the rest. Come to me as you are and I’ll show you that you are enough.

Your family is a beautiful poem. It’s time you heard the poetry.

THESE AREN’T JUST PHOTOS, THEY ARE YOUR MOMENTs – snippets of your experience that build your big, beautiful, precious life

Your highest self is calling to you to Rewild

We all feel it, this distance from our intuition, our own trust and voice. We long to get back, to find a day where life isn’t so mundane, so overwhelming, where the “should’s” aren’t ruling over us anymore. We crave our own power and purpose, our own howl, and in the midst of feeling like it’s lost forever or gone for good, we can give up.

But we don’t need to. We can return. We can come home and connect with our higher selves. With each other and with Mother Earth. We can invite magic and mystery back into our lives.

We can rewild.

FEATURED STORIES

“Wow! First, I just really loved being with Jackleen. Her presence with the kids and ease of how the photos unfold made me feel really comfortable and able to just be present without feeling “on camera”. Second, our photos are just so beautiful! Her photos really capture the spirit of my family and the love we all share. They feel so real, capturing us loving on each other and exploring nature. The colors are beautiful and the style is perfect. Definitely recommend! Love love.”
- Ashley Anderson
“We did a family adventure session at one of our local hikes and I will treasure those pictures forever. Jackleen’s ability to capture artistic and detailed moments like my oldest drawing in the sand to our youngest reaching to touch flowers was great paired with the natural and relaxed family photos of us all laughing together and in our element hiking in the desert. The photographs were intimate, elegant, and earthy which I absolutely loved. She was wonderful to work with in so many ways, but I was mostly impressed by her friendliness, positivity, and patience with kids.”
- Ashleigh Clancy
"Our photo shoot with Jackleen was nothing short of magical. It's so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of raising a young family and Jackleen was able to create and capture special moments that reminded us all of the deep love we have for each other. It was such a natural and organic experience filled with laughter and joy. Jackleen has an eye for lighting and the photos came out beautifully. There is no question they will serve as a warm reminder of our family's connection for many years to come."
