Hey, you.

For those of you who know my work as the owner of Jocelyn Rae Photography (and for those of you who may not know me at all), I’m not just a full-time wedding photographer, I’m also a ceramic artist based in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. And now I have a company through which I can sell my pottery: Sidechick Ceramics

Sidechick came to be after years of spending my spare time on pottery and feeling like, when doing so, I was cheating on my main squeeze (photography).

I’ve loved working with my hands since I can remember. I tap into that love in my personal life by doing things like baking bread and cultivating plants–activities through which I feel a genuine connection to the earth. I also feel that way when I shoot film, which, like pottery, is an imperfect science (one that requires an intimate connection to light in the way that pottery requires an intimate connection to clay, air, and water). Perhaps it’s the desire to remain connected to all the elements–earth (clay), air, water, and fire (light)--that has continued to entice me away from photography these last several years.

Don’t get me wrong, photography is and will always be my main piece. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have an artistic “sidechick”--a girl has needs, after all.  

I’m excited to start this new venture & I hope you’re just as eager to follow along with me.
