My name is Jocilyn, but my friends know me as Jocie! I am a natural light, lifestyle photographer based out of Snowflake Arizona. I love to enjoy life with my husband and our three little kids, Aaron, Ellie & Rosie.
My passions include family, photography, singing, chocolate, making new friends, and spending time with old ones.
I started photographing people in 2012 & haven't looked back. I love to capture emotion and tell a story with images. Life is beautiful and I find joy capturing yours through my camera.
I'd love to meet you and take your photos! If you think we're a good fit, fill out the contact form below & I'll be in touch.
Thanks for visiting Jocilyn McCleve Photography!

She makes everything beautiful and natural. No cheesy poses. She was great working with my little kids (ages 3 and 1) and made the whole process so easy! Thank you Jocilyn!!"

"We took a family road trip from Phoenix to Pinetop and reached out to Jocilyn about some family photos. The entire process was fun and laidback. Our 2 year old daughter warmed up to Jocilyn right away and was her new bff by the time the session ended. We got our photos back quickly and absolutely love them!"

"Life can get extremely difficult at times to where you feel as if you could just give up. But with my pictures from Jocilyn, she is able to capture the perfection in life that we all seem to forget about. In her pictures I can again find the love that my husband and I have for each other and the pure joy my children have brought to our lives.
