I see beauty in life every day. The way the sun hits the morning dew drops on the green blades of grass in my backyard. Elegant steam dancing from my cappuccino cup. A kiss that lasts a lifetime. Pictures trigger memories and emotion, and without them we would have nothing to show our future generations.

Jackie has an intriguing eye and she uses it in anticipation of moments. Moments that you want to freeze in time and show your grandchildren one day. The look of utter and complete happiness on your husband's face as he smiles the biggest smile of his life. Your wife's radiant glow and amazing beauty in her wedding gown. Experiencing pure bliss while you dance your first dance.

Jackie never turns down good Thai food. Ask her to join you on a foreign adventure and she is on the next flight. She enjoys beer made in Belgium and wine made from petite syrah grapes. And yes she is a San Diego native that loves her veggies. She wishes she could live camping for a year, but has a formidable fear of spiders.

Jackie is convinced that life is what you make it. if you work hard enough, and keep a positive outlook you will create endless opportunities. She has lived in Singapore, Cambridge, UK and San Diego, California. "Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
