Nice to Meet you!

Hello, I'm Jackie!

If you've found your way here, perhaps someone recommended my photography, you've enjoyed one of my St. Augustine calendars, or you've discovered an image that caught your eye. However you arrived, welcome!

Originally from Yorkshire, England, I've called St. Augustine, Florida, home since 1988. Even after all these years, I still love discovering the seasonal changes, beautiful light and little details that make the Nation's Oldest City so special.

Through my photography, I hope to share those moments with you, as though you were standing right beside me.

It All Started With a Few Notecards...

My photography business grew from something quite simple. I began printing my St. Augustine photographs on notecards at home and sharing them with people.

They quickly sold out!

Soon, people began asking for photographs of specific places. Then came the question that changed everything:

“Can you make it bigger?”

My answer was YES!

One request led to another, and those homemade notecards gradually grew into a collection of St. Augustine photographic wall art, calendars and gifts.

I've worked professionally as a photographer since 2004, and I still love helping people find just the right image for their home, office or someone special.

A Calendar That Became a Community Connection

In 2015, a client asked me to create a calendar featuring my St. Augustine photographs. That simple request grew into an annual tradition, and my 2027 Views of St. Augustine wall calendar is now in its 12th edition.

The local events listings have their own story.

Friends were always asking me, “What's going on this week in St. Augustine?”

Because I was already involved in the local events community, I thought, why not create something that helps friends, locals and visitors discover more of what makes our city so charming and vibrant?

That's how the calendar became more than a collection of photographs. It became a resource for discovering local festivals, celebrations and community events.

My enthusiasm for connecting people with what's happening around town eventually led to the St. Augustine Events Facebook group, which has grown to nearly 28,000 members.

For me, it all fits together: sharing the beauty of St. Augustine through photography and helping people experience the city I love.
