Welcome

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

You’re the memory maker.

The one wiping tears, chasing away monsters, holding it all together.
Your hands are in every corner of your family’s life, but when you look at the photos…
where are you?

You’re the one behind the camera.
Behind the magic.
Behind the rhythm that holds it all.

But your children need more than memories of being loved. 
They need to remember you loving them.

The look in your eyes. The way you laughed. The soft landing and comfort your embrace provided. The way you made even the smallest moment feel like home.

I see you, and I will make sure they do, too.

I’m Jackie, a Seattle-based photographer specializing in motherhood, family, and transformative rewilding sessions.  

I’m also a mother who knows what it’s like to feel invisible in the story you’re writing with your whole heart.

I believe you belong in the frame, not as a perfectly posed portrait, but as the living, breathing soul of the story.

Your presence is the legacy. Let me be the memory keeper, so you can be fully in the memory.

This is your portal to presence

Your Whidbey Island Family Photographer

For the mothers who:

  • Are always taking the photos but rarely in them.              
  • Feel the weight of being everything, everywhere, all at once.
  • Want their children to remember them — not just what they did, but who they were.

This is for you.

It’s time you were seen in the story you are creating.

What you can expect:  

  • Soulful, moment-driven sessions.
  • Images that are visual relics of what your family’s love felt like.
  • A safe space to be seen, held, and honored.

You’ve given your family everything.
Now it’s time to give them you — seen, sacred, and in the frame.

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."
