Jo was absolutely amazing to work with for our engagement photos. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which made the whole session enjo...
yable and stress free. She was punctual, flexible with our schedule, and always communicative, which gave us so much peace of mind. The photos exceeded all of our expectations, they are truly stunning and more beautiful than we ever imagined. On top of that, Jo delivered them with such a quick turnaround time. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and could not recommend her enough.
Jo was so, so wonderful! My fiancé and I were really nervous and not particularly comfortable in front of the camera (1000% did not know how to pose), but Jo put us at ease and ma...
de us laugh the whole time! The photos came out beautifully, but maybe more importantly my fiancé and I got a chance to really drink each other in and start our wedding journey on the right foot! Also, I've never had a vendor be so responsive or work so fast: she literally had our photos back to us the next day, edited and all. Cannot reccommend or thank her enough!

I absolutely love the pictures she's done for me, solo and with a group. I couldn't be happier to have the momentos I do, thanks to her.
JoJo is seriously the sweetest photographer I’ve ever worked with! She goes out of her way to research poses beforehand so that they work with your body type and physical capabilit...
ies. She came prepared with dozens of pose ideas and knew exactly how to achieve the right shot every single time. Her creative eye is so precise and delivers her the most amazingly artistic photos. Jo is kind, polite, professional, and hilarious enough to have you feeling comfortable and stress-free. She is seriously a gem and everyone should work with Jo at least once in their life!
Jo will always be at the top of my list for professional photographers, on account of her flexibility, photo quality, and dedication.
Jo is an incredibly professional and talented photographer. She is open to hearing your vision and takes the creative lead to make it a reality. She gave direction on poses, facial...
expressions, and big picture vibes when I wasn't sure what to do. Very clear and concise communication as well. The final product did not cease to amaze me, and I would absolutely work with Jo again.
