When I first launched my business in early 2007, I did so as 'Seedling Images', then rebranded as 'The Memory Jars’. My bread n' butter was portraiture and wedding photography – my tag-line was 'playful portraits, priceless heirlooms.' All these years later, I still consider it the greatest honor to create precious images that your family will cherish for generations to come.
Snapshots and selfies are great for filling Instagram feeds and engaging with your followers, but they won't help you stand out, professionally. You deserve to have promo photos that reflect your best self and make an impressive statement about what you offer. Through my relaxed approach, I'll put you at ease and help you remember how badass and beautiful you are.
From the West coast of the US and Canada to Bali and Costa Rica to the valleys of New Zealand, I've spent the last 7 years archiving cultural events across the globe. I'm known for delivering images that celebrate the softer side of these gatherings, focusing primarily on participant experience. I aim to draw the viewer in – to truly give some visceral sense of how it feels to be there.
Sometimes, our narratives are best expressed through moving imagery. There are integral details that are not so easily conveyed through stills – the way we move through spaces – the pace of our process – the subtle quirks of our unique characters. • Spend an afternoon (or 3!) with me and my camera – invite me in to observe who you are and how you do what you do. I promise – your story is interesting enough and worth sharing.
Thanks for getting in touch! I appreciate your inquiry while acknowledging that life is rather full these days. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Grateful for your generous patience! xo ~ Zippy
