Desert Paintbrush

I cannot stress enough how incredible Jaymie is as a photographer and a person in general. My husband and I came up from the Ventura County area to have Jaymie photograph our engagement photos last February. We have always loved the Mammoth area, but being in the middle of February, we weren’t sure where the best backdrop would be. From the moment we booked her, Jaymie was such a dream to work with. She gave us multiple suggestions to choose from with sample pictures from each location. She ultimately recommended a location that was a short hike up one of the Mammoth Mountain ski runs, which ended up being the most amazing backdrop anyone could ask for. Now, my husband and I are far from ‘naturals’ behind the camera. In all honesty, we’re super awkward and warned Jaymie of this before we started, but she managed to capture the most precious candid moments I’ve ever seen of us. She made us feel so comfortable the whole time and managed to prompt us in ways that brought out our best selves behind the camera. She is the most lovely human and even brought a spare set of gloves in case our hands got cold! She turned around our photos so quickly and we loved every single one of them. She is professional, personable, and a true artist. This review is very long overdue, but we truly cannot recommend Jaymie enough! Note: Now I know the idea of exercising a bit and going on a hike before a photoshoot may not sound appealing, but PLEASE do yourself the favor and go with where she recommends. The experience alone of hiking up the ski run after hours was enough to make the entire experience for us!
