When I say I'd love to help you pick outfits for your session, I really really mean it!! Hint: pastels, neutrals, and jewel tones are going to be your best friends!
I majored in textiles and apparel in college.
My hubby is an impossible combination of sweet, nerdy, athletic, and totally hunky - I like to call him the unicorn of husbands. ;)
I'm married to the man of my dreams.
My Birkenstock obsession is no joke - I'm all about that molded anatomical footbed and rigid cork goodness!
I have "problem" feet and am always on the lookout for supportive yet cute shoes.
I also lived in Milan for a semester, and the Duomo in Milan is one of my favorite buildings in the world!
I speak three foreign languages (Mandarin Chinese, Italian, and Spanish).

Jocelyn was a dream to work with. She was sweet, funny, and patient—and managed to get a ton of beautiful shots despite the fact that our little one was overtired. She was graciously willing to meet with us very early on a Saturday morning because of our time constraints, and her turnaround was very quick. Our images are everything we wanted, and we will treasure them for a lifetime!

Jocelyn is so talented, easy to get along with, and highly professional. My husband and I had never had our portraits taken before, so we were nervous about a maternity photo session, however, Jocelyn put us both at ease so the process was comfortable and memorable. The photos turned out so beautifully, that we scheduled another family photo session one year later, just before my husband deployed. She is always keeping an eye out to ensure that the photos are taken in prime conditions to produce beautiful works of art.

Jocelyn is the bravest photographer I have ever met. Never afraid to climb, lean, crouch or travel for the perfect shot, her flexible nature allows for you to feel comfortable the entire session. She is the perfect balance of listening to what you want from your session without sacrificing her artistic eye which makes for the most beautiful photos. I always recommend her to my friends wanting photos in the DMV and will continue for as long as Jocelyn is working there!
