Meet JayCee

Explorer, photographer, knee slapper, Foster and adoptive Mama

I’m a Wyoming girl who married an Idaho boy. Shockingly enough, I’d never seen the breathtaking Grand Tetons until I moved to Idaho and now it’s one of my all time favorite views! I’m in the park 2-3 times every week in the summer!
We became licensed foster parents in 2020 and had the privilege of having Jace in our home for a year before adopting him. We found out about his biological, little sister just 2 weeks before his adoption and were blessed to adopt her just 9 months later. It was a whirlwind! We decided to take a break from fostering to enjoy our little family but hope to open our home up again in a few years.
I’m known for my love of the outdoors and camping, my quirky personality, obsession with board and card games, and showing people how beautiful they are, as they are.

My dad was a major workaholic growing up. It felt like we would go weeks without seeing him with his early mornings and late nights. But the moment my mom started filling the cooler with food for Hobo dinners, and my dad loaded the trailer with the four wheelers, I knew it was camping time. We would drive about two hours out to the mountains in Medicine Bow, Wyoming.

There was no cell service, no paperwork, and no distractions. The mountains are where my relationship with my family grew, but especially my relationship with my father. That quality time in the mountains was something I looked forward to and would savor. It's where my dad taught me to fish, shoot a gun and how to start a campfire. It's where we talked, walked, drove on back trails, ate some of the best food on the planet, and would play games for hours. Life was always good away from real life. My love for the mountains has only grown since I was a child. I believe that there is something special about those quiet moments in the mountains. There is something magical about being on top of the world and being able to see the beauties of nature that God created for us.

This love for nature and the relationships that can flourish freely when we step away from our busy lives is what makes JayCee Photography different. Not only do I want to create beautiful images, but I want to create an evening you'll cherish for the rest of your life. Let's take some time away from the business of your life and head to the quiet of the mountains where quality time can be spent with the one you love and you two can grow closer together as a couple.
