Hi, I am Jacqueline Elliott

The face behind the camera—Hi. My name is Jacqueline. I’m also known as Jackie! I was born in Chicago and moved to Florida as a young girl. I attended the University of South Florida and obtained my Bachelors degree in History and Education. My passion has always been working with children – and I aspired to be an elementary teacher. I met my soulmate, Jesse shortly after graduating and we quickly started our life together. My husband is my biggest cheerleader! We welcomed our daughter, Maddie Belle (6) into our family and I became a stay-at-home mom. I loved capturing pictures of her and quickly discovered my passion for photography. My new hobby quickly turned into something I couldn’t imagine. I started doing mini photo sessions for friends and family. I enjoyed every second of capturing magical memories in my loved ones lives. I knew I needed to follow my dreams. Magical Memories was founded. I love being myself, and photography allows me to be fun and silly. Little ones have my heart – and the giggles during my sessions are truly my favorite. I come from a long line of small business owners with photography and film. My parents were film makers and have always owned their own business. They have motivated and encouraged me every step of the way! Photography has allowed me to meet so many amazing families. I love capturing lifes milestones and giving you the art to love and cherish for years to come. I truly am humbled and grateful for the outporing support of my small business. Because of you, my dreams are my reality.
