Radiant images that stand the test of time
If you ask me what the best part of my job is, the answer is always going to be the people. The connections I capture that showcase the most authentic versions of the people in them are always going to be the reason I ferociously love what I do.
My Approach
My approach to every wedding day is to get to know every couple on a personal and intimate level, and to get to know you as well as I know my closest friends. Through open communication, honest conversations, and collaboration, every couple is able to step into this experience as their most authentic selves.
My SERVICES
Meet Jayde
Capturing love stories since 2018
Those who love me say my most endearing quality is my innate ability to make any and every person feel seen, heard, accepted, and included in whatever environment we both share. I strive to take that strength and apply it to how I serve all of the people I'm lucky enough to cross paths with.
Photography, to me, is about connection and service. Connecting to others and serving them on their happiest days brings me more joy than I could've ever imagined.
After starting this business in my small hometown focusing primarily on portraiture, I transitioned into photographing in and specializing in love stories with weddings and couples in 2018, eventually making this my full time career in 2021. I relocated my life and my business here to Chicago shortly after in 2022, and I have not looked back since. When I'm not photographing and fangirling over my clients, you can find me on a walk by the lake, at a Broadway in Chicago show, spending time with my friends, trying to find the best Caesar wrap in the city, or listening to the newest Taylor Swift album.
"Hands down the BEST photographer we could've asked for."
"She went above and beyond to capture my husband and I’s entire wedding day and engagement photos. Jayde so naturally got every photo and detail, all while keeping us organized with our large families and bridal party. My husband and I both tend to be a little tense and awkward in pictures, but Jayde was able to get us feeling comfortable and relaxed, and it truly shows in our pictures."
