I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
Capturing authentic, beautiful moments of life is one of my greatest passions in life, coupled with connecting with others and meeting new people. I’m fascinated by this experience we call life, and I truly believe photography has the ability to connect the past, present and future, all while telling a gorgeous visual story. This isn’t just about getting the photo, this is about capturing your *life*; all the messy, beautiful, tear-filled memories you’ve lived through. These are the moments I want you to have: the moments that deserve to live forever!
I’m a mama to 3 kids: Jayla, Jaden, and Jemma. My household can be a little crazy and as a mom I’m understanding with chaos. I have a teenager with attitude, yet who’s my girlfriend at the same time, my reserved gamer son, and my youngest toddler, who is incredibly wild, independent but the sweetest soul with a contagious smile. Our favorite family activity is definitely trying new food together! We also have 2 cocker spaniels; Bailey and Brody..
My mission for assisting others fuels me daily, and I connect photography to this passion. I find it’s the visual way to express a similar spectrum of emotion ranging from love to sadness, and the rawness of life. Photography is one of the greatest forms of authenticity, just like our experiences, only it has the ability to last forever.

A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT ME.
#1
I’m both a homebody and an adventurer! When I’m not traveling from city to city to find my next inspiration or meeting new clients, you can often find me at home binge-watching my favorite show with some of my favorite snacks, doing some sort of unnecessary shopping, and planning my next big vacay.
#2
I love Rugrats. Since I was a little girl and even to this day, so much so that I threw my son’s first birthday Rugrats theme! Yes I know my dream birthday haha! You can always catch me wearing or with something Rugrats themed on me. Obsessed!
#3
When I purchased my DSLR camera, I went full throttle; with zero-experience at the time, I thought it would be a walk in the park. Its been a pretty wild ride!
JG Studio
One of the greatest blessings in my life is sharing the journey of photography with my cousin Jessica. Although our businesses are completely separate, we are inseparable. We’ve been close since childhood—fun fact, both our moms are twin sisters, so we’re practically sisters ourselves! We started our photography journeys around the same time, and over the years, our bond has only grown stronger.
We’ve always dreamed of having our own studio, and when the opportunity came, we couldn’t have been more grateful. We found the perfect location in downtown Hanford and opened JG Studio. It’s such a blessing to have a space that we not only get to share with each other but also provide to clients as a place where they can make lasting memories.
We are truly filled with gratitude and are committed to continuing our success for the benefit of our clients, all while remaining present with our families.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

I know, I know! This is the hardest part, but trust me I’m working so hard to get you your galleries as soon as possible. For weddings and elopements delivery time is typically 6 weeks, while for sessions you can expect a gallery within 4 weeks! Don’t worry I’ll send you some sneak peaks to hold you over.
-
This is definitely important, but don’t overthink it! Basically I want you to feel as confident as possible, while still being able to breathe and move! Neutrals and earth tones tend to work best (camel, rust, cream, olive, navy, black) because they’re less distracting which means the photos will be about you guys and not a striped orange shirt. Definitely no logos, neon colors, or obnoxiously large patterns! We want your photos to be about you, not an ad for nike or your favorite football team, you feel me?

I do not. I will pick alllll the best ones, color correct them and add that extra special touch and give them to you in a gallery! Don’t worry I’m not going to hold any hostage that you’d want.

Trust me you’ll get all the good ones and most definitely the silly ones in between!
