Lucy Jalin Photography

From developing black and white images in the darkroom to capturing day-to-day happenings as photo manager of the high school yearbook, my camera became an extension of me. I wanted to document the moments of the people I cared about - whether mundane or significant - and create something beautiful. Fast forward ten years and I’ve gone on to complete my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and clinical to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. I’ve had a thriving career at UVA Medical Center for the past five years and witnessed firsthand both the value and fragility of human life.

Over the years, I’ve continued to cultivate my photography through graduations, engagements, growing families, and eventually weddings. After much prayer, reflection, and wrestling through fears about becoming a creative entrepreneur, I feel confident that I’m being led to pursue this God-given passion. With each wedding and photoshoot, I am more enthralled with the significance that photography plays in people’s lives. Ten years later, I feel like I’ve finally come home to my first love.
