about
I'm an elopement photographer based in the Midwest. (I don't stay here much) I grew up with many passions, dance, art, music, and of course photography. Through my work I combine my love for traveling and photographing genuine connections to create the elopement day you've been dreaming of.
My style is a mix of warm nostalgia, and timeless editorial. I love to create photos you will look back on in 20 years and remember exactly how you felt in that moment. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me with my son at our favorite coffee shop, sitting by a window waiting for a thunderstorm, taking my dogs to the creek to play, or starting a new DIY project that will take entirely too long to finish.
I strive to make your elopement day or lifestyle session as smooth as it can be. I take all the planning head on and guide you every step of the way.
so nice to meet you! I'm jade, fall obsessed, momma + visual storyteller.
hey!
Meet Jade
When I was little my grandma always had a camera in her hands, my passion started from modeling for her, and evolved into being intrigued by the camera myself. I spent the first 5 years of my life living in the log cabin my granddad built by hand, cozy fires, 100 acres, endless time outdoors. I truly believe that's where my love for nature stemmed. After me and my mom moved about 30 minutes from there, I still spent every weekend with them, seeing my granddad run his own successful business, eating my grandmas warm soup, listening to the best music, and watching tv shows from England in front of a roaring fire. The best times of my life. My whole family is eccentric, I think that's why I enjoy traveling so much, seeing different people and places, getting to capture different landscapes and ways of life. I met my fiance in 2019, and in 2023 we had our sweet baby boy, our red headed, highly empathetic, and fiery Phoenix. In 2024 I bought my sprinter van and decided I was going to take on the country with my camera in my hand. We have been turning it into a living space, and plan to use it as transportation to all my lovely elopements. I have a deep passion for photography, stories, and nostalgia. There is no better feeling than freezing a moment in time that will be cherished forever. I love fall, thunderstorms, New England charm, coastal air, authentic love, being a mother, traveling, and capturing fleeting moments.

"Jade is an amazing photographer and made the entire process so much fun, and that comes from someone who hates having their photo taken. Out of all the stressful things that come with wedding planning, not once did we ever have to stress about the photos and we appreciate that so so much!"
