jaime + camera = happy.

i take pictures and i tell stories. life couldn’t be better and i can’t imagine doing anything else.
after college i embarked on a career in journalism and fell quickly in love with the world and its people. documenting life is a privilege and an honor, and a challenge i am thrilled to take on.
i began my career in photography covering political news in washington, dc. i also photographed red carpet events, star-studded parties, and black tie affairs with dc socialites for local magazines. however, my passion for people led me away from capitol hill and posh neighborhoods and into the lives of everyday people. driven by the desire to capture true personality, intense emotion, inspiring love, and the fleeting moments that make up our lives i decided to focus on wedding and lifestyle photography.
i have had the privilege of traveling to many awe-inspiring countries on many different continents, and observing life as it unfolds in many cultures. i’ve called many places home, from the east coast of the united states to the west, from the bustling streets of london to the remote regions of the amazon – and i loved them all.
when i’m not shooting pictures or writing stories, i find great satisfaction in volunteering with organizations that i believe in. educational initiatives and programs that inspire and motivate individuals are closest to my heart. i believe strongly in education, art, and communication: through these three efforts i am convinced we can change and shape our world for the better.
i also believe in love at first sight, that candid photography is an art form, and that i can change the world.
my ideal subjects are people who are in love with life, with each other, and with the world around them.

Hi Jaime,
This is Rebecca’s mom. Rebecca and I had a very long conversation the other night and she was telling me about all the wonderful things you have been doing. Since I’ve been hanging out in a hospital for a few days,I thought I would check out your website while I was here.
I loved reading about you and seeing your great photography. I’m so glad you did her wedding pictures and wish you lived closer because you were wonderful.
So,just wanted to tell you that you have a great website, great talent, and I am thrilled to hear that things are going so well for you. I can certainly relate to doing what you love to do.
Keep up your terrific work.
Take care,
