JJ, ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER
Born in Northern California, JJ studied Photography, Cinema and Media Arts at Ithaca College's Park School of Communications. There she learned the classical, technical and theoretical aspects of the medium of photography, and graduated cum laude during the big change over in the Photography Industry from film to digital. She has been on the forefront of the digital photography world ever since.
After relocating to New York City, she has worked with a wide array of clients and subject matter—ranging from her tattooed portraits for Rebel and Urban Ink Magazine to the bridal fashion of the Jenny Yoo Collection and Bari Jay Fashions—but soon developed a passion for Wedding Photography.
To JJ there is nothing more personal and beautiful in life than being able to capture and record personal events—life's precious moments, rights of passage, and all of the moments that make up a person's life—and being able to tell a story with her images. To her it is an honor to be that person, to be there for other people and deliver a product that will be looked at for years to come with fondness and joy. Nothing is more fun than experiencing the joy of others.
JJ has a passion for life, and she is one who goes where her heart takes her: be it in the ring as a boxer, shooting weddings on the beaches of Malibu; the coast of Georgia, St. Thomas, or at Old Saint Patrick's Cathedral; or spending a week in the Nevada desert shooting tattoos at Burning Man !
She is open minded, easy going, and always goes the extra mile to capture your day with skill and style—and a smile!
