About

Growing up, at every family gathering, my mother would pull out shoeboxes full of old photos that spanned the years, and we would all pour over them, laughing and reminiscing. That tradition was my first taste of what a photo can do to bridge the gap, create connection, and preserve moments. Each image told a story from the past that I could feel in my own two hands, and I knew I wanted to create more of it, for myself and for others. Over the years, I’ve clicked my camera’s shutter many times, and now even click it for my own little family— the beginnings of a new shoebox.

Family Sessions are at the root of Howl & Rose, and allow me to help highlight your authenticity and warmth— something I think we all need to be reminded of now and then. I am truly humbled each time I’m invited to click that shutter, and I look forward to creating art with you and for you. Thank you for being here. —Jacky
