hiya, i'm jaye!

MY CAMERA IS MY FREEZE-RAY.
I USE IT FOR GOOD.

I love adventures with my family – at our home in Pelham, at our place by the beach in Queens, and around the world. My four kids are the ones who taught me how beautiful life can be and how the little things are the big things and how FAST it all can move and how HARD it is to remember. They’ve inspired every aspect of my business. (Have I mentioned that I LOVE what I do?) I also love food and reading and live music.

other things i'm passionate about?

I am super enthusiastic about this, and about the process I’ve spent over a decade developing to make the whole experience easy (and even fun!) for you.

I freeze the things that you most want to remember about your life right now and turn them into beautiful and tangible products that will long outlive this fleeting time.

People say I write just like I talk, so if you want to get more of a sense of who I am, you can really just poke around the various pages and blog posts on this site. (No AI here - it’s all me!)

Everything I write is from the heart. (Except for those few BRAGGY blog posts - those are just me awkwardly sharing the recognition my work and business have gotten so that there’s no chance of you thinking that I’m the only one who’s excited about all of this.

my memories live in photographs

And I know my kids (and someday, grandkids) will have them forever too.

these are the moments i know i'll remember

I CAN HELP YOUR MEMORIES FIND A HOME

I live in Southern Westchester and spend my days photographing families in towns like Pelham, New Rochelle, Larchmont, Bronxville, Scarsdale, Mamaroneck, Rye, Harrison, White Plains, and Greenwich, Connecticut. I also travel to NYC and Southern Connecticut for a nominal fee. Live outside those areas? By all means drop me a line to talk about my travel sessions.

I love to travel. Let’s talk about adding your home town to my ever-growing list of adventures!

Through all the chaos of a full and busy life, when it’s SO hard to slow down and pay attention …my photos help me (and can help you!) …

“Thank you for coming on Saturday! The girls want to have a playdate with you … lol. It was so much fun and the sneak peeks are so beautiful. What an amazing job! You really captured the girls’ personalities. I can’t wait to see everything!”

“I am not a big spender … However, I have no problem opening my wallet when it comes to quality items. I am positive that my decision to commission Jaye to photograph my family is one of the best I’ve made since becoming a mom.”
