About Me

Hello there! I'm Jacqueline Grace. Growing up with my lively and big-hearted family, I embrace the extroverted and ambitious spirit that defines me today. For me, to be creative is to be in love with love. I fell in love with photography when I first touched my mom's tacky, old, silver Canon PowerShot. It was then that I became a visionary. I listen to music and a hazy movie plays along with the lyrics and tones in my head. I watch my niece’s feet swing from her stroller, or my nephew’s dumbfounded face dripping with ice cream, and I stop to record because it’s my way of stopping life’s time. It has always been a lifelong dream to soak life and myself in creative settings as I am thoroughly convinced there is no other place I would rather be.

From 2020 onwards, my focus shifted to documenting love in its various forms—capturing the essence of families, couples, and the enchantment of wedding days. This transition has been a significant blessing, deepening my appreciation for the vast tapestry of our world. My mantra involves living life to the fullest, surrounded by a supportive circle of family and friends who instill in me the courage to pursue my dreams daily. I find contentment in the present while eagerly anticipating the unknown future.

In my pursuit of creative growth, I currently find myself as a student at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. There, I am diligently working towards a degree in Cinema and Media Studies with a minor in Entertainment Industry. The desire to craft stories has been ingrained in me for as long as memory serves—a storyteller and a visionary at heart. I perceive it as a responsibility to share the unique gift I possess. Life through the lens has been my enduring perspective, and now, I stand as an aspiring young creative, embracing life with a determined ambition to capture love in all forms through my photography.
