Hi, I’m Jordann.
Midwest-born and raised, but San Diego has been home for quite a while now. I’m a family photographer, a graphic designer and someone who laughs a lot, loves a good adventure and rarely turns down chocolate.
I love photographing families as they really are. The laughter, the chaos and all the little moments in between. I want you to look back at your photos and remember exactly what this time in your lives felt like.
When I’m not photographing families…
By day, I’m the Senior Graphic Designer and Photographer at Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I get to combine two things I love: design and photography. And yes, photographing animals is part of my job, which is pretty cool.
I have a soft spot for our little blue penguins, spiny lumpsuckers and, more recently, axolotls!
Outside of work, I’m usually hiking somewhere beautiful or hanging out with Willow, my mini labradoodle. I love fall weather, a good sunset and planning my next adventure.
The part that’s personal.
I lost my dad when I was 20. The photographs I have of him are some of my most treasured possessions, and they’ve shaped the way I think about photography ever since.
There’s a lot more to that story, and it’s a big part of why I do what I do.
Read why photography matters to me.
Let’s make some photos.
