Hello, hello!
I'm Jocelyn, the Lightnotes photographer. A lifelong, and figurative, lightning bug hunter. I'm not the photographer you ask to shoot your wedding. I'm the one you ask to capture Tuesday night family dinner, because I've always seen the sparkles in everyday moments–those are the fireflies I'm out to catch.
This is simple. You invite me into your life for a couple of hours, I show up with my camera, you act like I don't exist, and badabing! ~10 days later you receive photos.
What are you inviting me to? Game night. Moving day. Afternoon of errands and/or chores. Shabbat (please). First day of school. Your regular morning routine. Family field trip. The day your kid gets braces... I don't know, tell me what you have in mind–the world is our oyster! Well, shucks...
Okay, this is where I'll leave ya for now. Please reach out if you're a cool person! I don't shoot for jerks, but am willing to make referrals.
Thanks for stopping by!
