My approach to photography centers on the authentic connection between souls. Rather than orchestrating every moment, I create space for your story to unfold naturally, allowing genuine interactions to weave themselves into time. Through a blend of documentary style and thoughtful prompts, each image becomes a true representation of undisturbed moments – capturing not just how things looked, but how they felt.
The foundation of beautiful imagery lies in creating an atmosphere where you feel safe, seen, and inspired. This begins long before I pick up my camera, through intentional conversations where we explore your vision together. Whether we're working in a grand venue or an intimate space, I focus on guiding you through locations that hold meaning, letting the photographs become a natural extension of your story rather than the main event.
Memories
Created distantly
Hold space
That only those
Once there
Can experience
Reminisce
And wish they were
everpresent.
"From the moment we inquired with Jada on her website, it was very clear that she intended on curating a meaningful experience for my fiancé and I. We knew we had a vision for our engagement photos to be raw, to capture us in a location that meant so so much to us, and we hoped to feel super comfortable and authentic behind the camera.
Of course, as a couple we have taken plenty of photos before, but never were we the subject for an artful eye- and certainly never for hours at a time. Jada sat with us to talk about our vision, our hopes for the session, and our fears for what might be uncomfortable in the moment. She heard everything we had to say, and for the entire duration of our engagement shoot, she and her partner exceeded our expectations...
Our real authentic connection to one another- captured through her lens. The moments we had during the session, but also all the memories we've shared in such sacred places to us will be cherished for the rest of our lives thanks to her tangible artwork.
Embelle photo is something special, and we truly believe that anyone who is given the opportunity would feel blessed to get the chance to work with Jada."

"Couple of 4 years here, we’ve never had a photoshoot done so we were very nervous coming in! I booked with Embelle on a whim and I am so so so glad I did! Jada was SO involved and really wanted to get to know us as individuals and as a couple in order to really make the shoot about us! Jada made us feel super comfortable and made the shoot feel so fun! Her energy is so welcoming and she was so communicative throughout the entire process.
The photos made my jaw DROP when I saw them, I couldn’t believe how amazingly Jada captured our love and our story. And we got SO many more photos than I thought as well! And the fact that we got a sneak peak the day of was so awesome, she works hard and FAST! I am so so so happy with the results, we have some of these photos hung up in our living room, and we have already agreed to call Embelle as soon as we need her for an engagement shoot! Our experience was just that great! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!"

"Jada was an excellent photographer for our engagement shoot. We have an absolutely amazing experience with her. This was our first ever photoshoot together (as a couple and otherwise) and we were pretty nervous and were expecting to feel awkward and stiff, but Jada's positive energy and outstanding passion for her work made us quickly relax and feel very confident. She is such a hype-woman. I left our photoshoot just stunned at how much fun it was and how quickly the time went by. That's just the first half. When I got my pictures they were gorgeous!
She really captured my vision in every aspect. It was the first time I ever truly looked at myself in a photo and thought I was beautiful. She also captured such a soft side to my husband, and really highlighted the love we share and how we see it. I'm so grateful to Jada! I have not stopped recommending her to everyone I know!"

"If you have social anxiety or are awkward with taking photos, this is the photographer for you! We traveled from St.Louis to Nashville to shoot with Jada for our engagement shoot. She made us feel like family, had poses in mind and got TONS of “candid” type photos which ended up being my favorite! Our sitter cancelled at the last minute so we ended up bringing our 4 year old daughter.
She was more than understanding, had her fiancé help entertain her & even brought her a cake pop! We got several photos, video clips & even Polaroids to take home that day! We saw sneak peaks before we even got back home, & had the edited photos back within a week. I would have her shoot my entire life if we lived closer. 10/10 recommend,"

in the space between heartbeats
we find the quietest stories
waiting to be told
in the gentle sweep
of afternoon light
and whispered promises
the art of seeing
is the art of holding space
for souls to unfold
to breathe
to be
