Jackie Shay photography + creative llc

capturing the essence of the human experience.

Welcome!

i'm so glad you're here.


As a native of the vibrant and awe-inspiring Space Coast of Florida, I have had the privilege of witnessing countless precious moments unfold before my lens. I am a professional photographer who is deeply passionate about capturing the magic of life in a storytelling, documentary style.

My greatest joy lies in freezing fleeting moments in time, weaving them together to create visual narratives that will be cherished for generations to come. Whether it's the radiant glow of an expectant mother during a maternity session, the tender + pure innocence of a newborn in their first few days of life, the authentic love + connection within a family's home, the heartfelt exchange of vows on a couple's wedding day, or even capturing the heart + soul of a fellow small-business owner, I am there to preserve those moments with an artist's eye and a storyteller's heart.

Listen to my brand new podcast

"More than just a mom"


timeless.
storytelling.
emotive.
art.

With each session, I aim to create an experience that goes beyond simply taking photographs.

I strive to capture the essence of who you are, your unique story, and the genuine emotions that make your moments so extraordinary.

I had a boudoir session with Shay for my boyfriends birthday gift and I was blown away by the photos! Despite being nervous, She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the whole session. Not only is she diverse in her work (I’ve also gotten family portraits done from her) but she is thorough, and so personable to work with. Will recommend to anyone for any occasion! Love her!
