Meet Your Photographer

Hi! I’m Jacque! (she/her)

I have always had a deep and profound connection with nature ever since childhood, particularly up in the high mountains. I am also a trauma informed yoga instructor and have studied embodiment and somatic movement as healing tools. I am here you help guide you in your own connective process and capture the intimacy of your raw authentic self.

In 2018, I traveled to Nepal and had the opportunity to trek to Everest Basecamp & that is when everything changed on a fundamental level for me. That connection only grew, & traveling to Nepal really solidified the importance of that connection with nature to me.

In 2022, after the death of a very close friend, I used embodiment and somatic movement as key tools in my grief journey to better connect with my best friend as well as mother nature. As I tried to focus more on that connection, I began to see a major shift in focus in myself, in the outdoors, as well as in my work. My photography began to capture the connection I was having at that moment. I knew it was time to share that profound connection with the world and help cultivate that connection in others!
