ABOUT the Author

I'm Jalisa — imagery-obsessed, legacy-minded, and always tuned into the heartbeat of a good story.

Here, you’ll find stories that linger.
Real wedding days, unfiltered feelings, and the kind of images that hold history.
Shot on digital and film. Crafted with intention. Rooted in presence.
Because this isn’t just photography — it’s memory, legacy, and a little bit of magic.
