Jocelyn, THE PHOTOGRAPHER
GET TO KNOW ME
I'm so stoked that you've stopped by! I'm an Alexandria & Northern Virginia family photographer, certified goofball, and chaser of glowy light.
I love taking portraits of all kinds, but I especially cherish photographing growing families and capturing the bonds between parents and their little ones. 💕
TRAVEL-SIZED,
DANCER AT HEART,
JESUS-FOLLOWER.

Jocelyn is a wonderful human being who also happens to take wonderful photos! She was flexible with weather changing as well as locations, and made us feel like we had the most well-behaved children (even when that wasn't quite the case!). Her organized options and help for outfit coordination, her attention to detail, and her overall attitude are what put her in a special category.

Jocelyn was a joy to work with! She has excellent communication throughout the entire process from inquiry, scheduling and beyond. I can't thank her enough for the patience she showed with our rambunctious crew and the incredible memories we now have to cherish forever.

We absolutely loved working with Jocelyn! . . . Her recommendations and style guide were very helpful in helping to select everyone's outfits and be prepared for the day. She also did an AMAZING job overcoming our moody toddler on the day of the photoshoot . . .We will definitely use her again!
