Whimsical Maternity + Documentary Newborn and Family Photographer
Appleton Photographer
Your
Story
Told.
Helping you UNPOSE and smile at one another, not at a camera.
Here, the magic of motherhood and the complexities of family are captured with heart, intention, and a little bit of whimsy. I specialize in dreamy maternity photography that celebrates the strength of a mother and nostalgic, cinematic family photography that bottles up the best moments of your life. My style is soft, natural, and storytelling at its core — inspired by earthy tones, golden light, and the quiet in-between moments that make life so beautifully real. I'm here to help you freeze those fleeting seasons in a way that feels comfortable, documentary, and wonderfully you.

I'm Jaime! I'm a Fox Valley mama with 3 little boys, deep in my motherhood era alongside you... with a camera and a sense of humor.

How do I make moments feel like a storybook + look like one, too?
As a former English teacher, crafting a storyline is something I have a knack for. I learn the quirks of each character in your family and select a setting in Appleton or Green Bay that fits your vision. Your gallery will FEEL like you, so when you look at it years later, it will bring you back to moments you will miss most.
my photo-philosophy in 3 steps

3.
I pride myself on providing stress-free photography services to every single person who books me, and I feel that the first step in that process is friendship. I can't tell the true story from multiple angles if I am a complete stranger to you. We begin with an intake questionnaire and collaborate on building your session narrative- from location choices to styling, I will guide you through each step until it's shoot-day!
To create balance between light position, camera settings, angle, and artistic vision (all while prompting clients, controlling chaos, and being flexible) is what marks a true professional photographer. To capture moments with intention... ones you didn't even know were happening all while finding ways to tell your story is what makes someone an artist. The core of my art is to portray motherhood and childhood with an authenticity that makes each family I work with unique.
Imagine having a crystal-clear memory of your baby holding your gaze with sleepy newborn eyes, the way they crinkled their toddler-nose when smelling a flower... even the angry face they make when there is injustice upon them. With a sharp and whimsical approach to shooting and editing, I will capture the finest details of those moments and create a keepsake storyline to bring those memories back to life time and time again.

Calling Appleton home was once just a dream for this California girl...
Yep, you read that right. The first 32 years of my life were spent in Southern California, and nearly every Wisconsin family I have met has a universal reaction... "Why would you move here of all places?!" That is a story for the blog, BUT being an Appleton transplant has given me a special superpower: seeing the Fox Cities with a child's eye. I scout and find the most gorgeous and private local spots for my clients... pockets of Appleton, Green Bay, and Oshkosh that you've probably driven past a million times. I also pride myself on my ability to find unique locations that are reflective of who my clients are. Whether it's a sweeping landscape, historic bookstore, or the comfort of your home, I will craft a storyline that is unique to each family and create visual poetry of your life.

I'm so happy we went with Jaime for our son's newborn photos - she captured all the little details that will remind me of this fleeting chapter.
Jaime was an absolute dream to work with! Not did our photos turned out absolutely beautifully, but the session was so relaxed feeling. She is wonderful with kids - I was a little concerned my 3 year old would be uncooperative for pictures, but Jaime has a special kind of magic that allowed my son to warm up really quickly.

These are photos I will cherish forever, and I can’t recommend her enough to any mama wanting family photos!
We had the most wonderful Mommy & Me session and I honestly couldn’t love our photos more! From the moment we arrived, Jaime made everything feel very relaxed and fun — exactly what you want when you’re taking photos with little ones.
