I am a Victoria-based photographer with a strong passion for communicating how it feels to be with people and in a specific place. Working in digital, film, and video, I love documenting the environment and small moments people share in the private and public spheres of their lives.

Mostly recently, I lived and worked in New Zealand as a freelance real estate, interior, lifestyle and architecture photographer and videographer. This work built off of my experiences in Canada, which highlighted the luxurious lifestyle of cottage and lakehouse living in the district of Muskoka while I was shooting multi-million dollar properties.

I love to switch gears between photographing intimate portrait sessions, high energy events and top of the line properties. Photography is a love of mine and I hope this shows through my work. It is a pleasure to share my photographs with you.

Testimonials

  • "Jacqueline swiftly became an invaluable member of our Sotheby's team. Irrespective of the incredible quality of her work, photography and videography, she was just a great person - diligent, kind, honest, hardworking and always reliable. Not only did her quality seamlessly match our brands exceptionally high standards, but as importantly our clients loved her work, and the results, with regard to price achieved would inevitably have influenced the end results."

  • “I met Jacqueline when she contacted us to volunteer for the Wellington International Parade, and did we use her! From taking the amazing photos for our poster team to turning up at auditions to producing promotional videos, we could not have had a more enthusiatic helper. Not only did she turn up to help, but also produced amazing work that promoted the Parade online, on the streets and on electronic bill boards. This promotion lead to the largest ever attendance of 50, 000 people, and of course Jacqueline caught all of this in photos.”

  • "When COVID lockdown hit in March 2020 we had to pivot from a bustling cafe to online sales in a very short period of time. Jacqueline jumped in and undertook the product photography for our website and online store. Jacqueline captured precisely the style we desired and had absolutely lush looking photos ready for us in a snap."

  • "Jacqueline was great to work with! She was very responsive, professional and flexible working with my 1 year old daughter (who also loved her!). She made sure we got all the shots I was hoping for and then some. The pictures she took captured my daughter so well and are so sweet. We will cherish them for years to come. And she had a quick turn around on the photos which was an added bonus. Highly recommend working with her!"

  • "After reviewing Jacqueline's photographic work in the community we knew she would be a great person to have on the team. In both our team meetings and at events she was very proactive, friendly and clearly invested in doing her job to the best of her ability. Jacqueline was given an all-access pass for duration of the festival and always interacted and handled her tasks with a great level of professionalism and poise. She did a wonderful job covering her assigned events including the Dyke March, Church Street, Trans Rally, and a Drag Showcase on the main stage featuring local drag queens and Queen of the North Brooke Lynn Hytes. Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with and executed her role with flying colours."
