About JACLYN
YOUR MEMORY KEEPER
Creating photographs that transport you back to this fleeting season and make you feel every laugh, every embrace, every beautiful moment as vividly alive as right now.
"I always leave thinking there’s no way the little hellions we’re smiling in any of these and somehow she captures their smiles and little personalities perfectly."
— Megan
"My toddler was on the verge of a meltdown the whole time, and Jaclyn was able to make her laugh and capture some beautiful photos."

My Style
My photography style is all about capturing real, heartfelt moments, the ones that naturally unfold when you’re just being together. I keep sessions light, playful, and full of laughter so nothing ever feels forced. And yes, I’ll do whatever it takes to get a genuine smile... silly dance moves, animal noises, and a little chaos included.
My Story
I never imagined I’d end up here. I went to school for engineering, thinking my life would follow a logical path but instead, I became mom to three of the coolest, craziest little humans and built a photography business that fills my soul. Somewhere between diapers, sports practices, and endless snack requests, I found my true creative outlet.. capturing real moments, telling stories, and making families laugh. For the past 10 years, I’ve helped families relax, have fun, and walk away with portraits they’ll treasure forever.
My Method
Family photos don’t have to be stressful. Great images happen when you feel comfortable being yourself, so I guide you gently every step of the way.. watching light, adjusting angles, and letting natural interactions lead. Whether it’s in your home, park, or in the studio, I create an experience that feels effortless, playful, and fun, leaving families with genuine portraits.
BEHIND
the LENS
I'm jaclyn..
photographer, wife, mom of 3, wisconsin accent
Behind the lens, I bring everything I am.. photographer, mom, and problem-solver into every session. For the past 10 years, I’ve been helping families capture real connection, from adorable newborns and camera-shy toddlers to busy parents juggling it all. What looks effortless on the outside comes from experience, intuition, and a lot of creativity.
I pay attention to every detail... the light, the angles, the little interactions, while guiding you in a way that never feels forced. I’ll do whatever it takes to get genuine smiles; silly dance moves, animal noises, or simply letting moments unfold naturally. My goal is for each session to feel relaxed, playful, and full of connection, so you can focus on your people while I capture it all.
Every session is intentional, balancing technical precision with heartfelt storytelling. My analytical side, honed from years in engineering, blends seamlessly with my creative eye, letting me orchestrate sessions that feel effortless while honoring your family’s unique story.
I don’t just take photos.. I preserve memories, turn fleeting moments into timeless images, and create portraits families will treasure forever.
"I am absolutely blown away! We left our session amazed by how well Jaclyn worked with our two (very active and young) boys!
