Jamie Street Photography
Jamie Street has had a camera in her hand since junior high. So it's no surprise her family photography business is a one-woman labor of love that brings her happiness every single day. Jamie likes to make her families feel as comfortable as possible, from helping to choose a location meaningful to them and letting them have fun and interact, so they are comfortable in front of the camera. Jeni told us, "I love capturing timeless and classic portraits of families on film, but some of my favorite photos tend to be from documenting all of the dreamy, intimate moments of connection in between the perfectly posed shot." She shoots all over San Diego and even ventures to Los Angeles and other parts of California if needed. Be sure to book your holiday photos as soon as possible to ensure enough processing time for the film. Families can choose from mini or full sessions.
