HI, I’M JAIMIELLA

My journey with photography began in childhood, after I won a digital camera in a colouring competition. I would follow my siblings around, capturing our family trips and day-to-day activities. Documentation through image has always been a part of my world, and something I deeply cherish. I look back fondly at the tangible photo albums my parents created, and the moments captured in time - some that I only recall through seeing the photographs themselves.

I’m passionate about creating candid, light-filled lifestyle imagery. I care about capturing the fleeting moments and quiet beauty of real life. My work is shaped by a deep love for people, meaningful connection, and celebrating life’s milestones — big and small. I photograph the day as it naturally unfolds, with a focus on genuine moments, connection, and the little details. With a calm and unobtrusive approach, I am there to support and serve you on your day, offering gentle guidance when helpful. My goal is to keep the day relaxed, peaceful, and full of joy, while making sure every meaningful memory is beautifully preserved.

Alongside photography, I am a counsellor and an active part of my local community. I love to bake and make music with my husband and am currently learning to play the piano. Together, we love to camp, host board game nights and gather loved ones around the table.

In the likeness is a reflection of my life and my values. I appreciate beauty and actively seek ways in my daily life to experience, display and value this. Every story I photograph is guided by a commitment to excellence, ensuring each image is crafted with care, attention and detail. I want the images to reflect you, your story, your people, and a moment in time worth celebrating and preserving. Moments to treasure and look back on fondly for years to come.

Honesty and integrity is at the foundation of my approach. It shapes every relationship and decision, and guides my practice. My photography approach is calm, gentle, and unobtrusive so that moments can unfold naturally. Connection and community are at the heart of every moment, and honouring the people and relationships that make each day meaningful. I’m here to serve you and celebrate you.

“From the moment we met Jaimiella, we knew we were in the best hands. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine excitement for our day instantly put us at ease, even in front of the camera! Throughout the day, Jaimi and Josh captured every moment with such care and creativity. The whole process was effortless and fun and the photos and video they delivered turned out exactly how we wished.
