ABOUT JACKIE PARDUE SCRIPPS
I am a mother of three, wife of my best friend, cold brew aficionado, Texas Standard listener, and book hoarder. I was born in San Antonio and have spent the majority of my life living in Central Texas with some out-of-state jaunts in between.
I earned an MA in International Studies from Texas State University, along with a BA in Anthropology and BA in History. My primary areas of study were Latin America and international relations, and I spent time studying abroad in Belize, Costa Rica, and France. Like most people, I love traveling, and I especially love sharing epic nature adventures with my children.
Growing up, I was always carrying a film camera or camcorder for impromptu. I conducted impromptu photo shoots, made stop motion Lego stories and eventually shot music videos for high school screamo bands. I was a yearbook editor/photographer and newspaper writer/photographer (back when developing in a darkroom was par for the course) at Fredericksburg High School in the Texas Hill Country and have completed multiple classes at the Austin School of Film.
More than anything, I love and cherish my family. They are at the core of everything I do. I know that when they see the honesty, rawness, beauty, uniqueness, and love that my clients exude, and they see the passion and effort that I put into every photo and video and film that they will be inspired to be their true selves and follow their hearts to make meaning and lift others up in their lives and work.
Storytelling and seeing the "bigger picture" have always played an important role in the projects Jackie takes on. She loves exploring culture, fashion, and personal identity through the images she captures. Jackie is passionate about the power of education, the strength of women, and the importance of community. She is an advocate for children and a supporter of the non-profit organization MamaBaby Haiti.
