My name is Jaclynn Wilkinson. I am still the most ambitious person you know. (Enneagram 8 Aries, can you tell?) For 7 years my biggest life goal was photographing weddings for the stunning diversity of Washington State. In that time, I photographed nearly 200 weddings.
Today, I am focusing on closer relationships with my partners, kiddos, sisters, friends, and self.
I needed time to reflect and heal from the chaos. The world shifted spring of 2020. I took it like a bad break up.
As of Feb 2023, I'm finally opening The Studio again by taking on a small handful of weddings and as many portrait sessions as feels right month to month!
I'm Jaclynn Wilkinson
What's your deal?
Married Clynn at a FRESH 20 years old. We ran a landscaping company to make ends meet. I went on to try MANY business ventures. Many failures later,...

I launched Sincerely Jaclynn Photography later to be known as Jaclynn Wilkinson Studio & Print Lab. I comitted my heart and soul, EVERY.WAKING.HOUR. Business TOOK OFF & I felt so whole.

The Studio photographed 43 weddings and MANY portrait sessions. I had next to no hired help and edited over 1,850 hours solo. I reached my limit. Feeling half alive, I submitted my final wedding gallery the day before Christmas Eve and immediately began shaking and crying uncontrollably. Rock Bottom Entrepreneur moment number 1. I vowed to never work myself that hard, alone, ever again.

Business was BOOMING and I finally found my entrepreneurial groove! I felt base level "experienced" and invested heavily in my education. I had A LOT of hired help and felt the weight of feeding families. I thrived under the pressure and woke up motivated by 5am nearly every morning. Living the "girl boss" dream.

Rona hit like a bunch of bricks. I watched my dreams shatter as shut downs began, bookings ceased, and my inbox became a place to fear. I became VERY picky about bookings and decided to keep my calendar as clear as possible. Clynn quit his job and we went full rogue.

This is what it really looked like...
it doesn't just happen overnight
Culture can be noisy, chaotic, and asking too much,
go so far you can't hear them anymore
We bought an RV and sought solitude. The world felt toxic so we decided to unsubscribe as much as possible. I believe humans, on an individual level, are absolutely lovely. However, we are entering a hive mind era and people as a collective, are tragic. This is me taking a step back while recording my place in history. I hope to inspire others to take a closer look at what they're doing and WHY. Modern society is out of control while taking hold of yours. I don't want to fight this war. I will not spend my life paving the way for another.
I choose to be selfish with my one life. I am on a journey of self discovery, creation, and passionate love for those I deem worthy of mine.
Writing helps me process. I have been working on this website for nearly a decade. I hope you enjoy reading, diving through the past, and contemplating your reason for doing what you're doing.
