Jackie has been passionate about photography since her dad gave her a camera in high school. Orchids, hibiscus, and bromeliads at Selby Gardens and wading birds at Lido Beach and Longboat Key became Jackie's favorite subjects. Although her photography has expanded to include weddings and portraiture, she remains an avid floral photographer. Jackie teaches individual and group workshops and also maintains an active online group, Phlorography - Artistic Floral Photography, with thousands of passionate floral photographers from around the world.

Photographing the typically off-limits and unseen parts of civilization, Dave of Freaktography.com is a modern day explorer choosing to seek out the wonders and mysteries of our own backyards through unconventional photography and adventurous Urban Exploring. This presentation takes the audience through 80 minutes of photos, videos, stories, humour and intrigue in a presentation that has been called "the best presentation we have ever had" by many clubs he has presented to over the years. Attendees can expect to be taken into abandoned power plants, metal asylums, prisons and abandoned houses that look as if the prior owners just vanished, leaving all their belongings behind. The work of Freaktography has been featured worldwide in print, online and broadcast appearing in Warner bro's "The Flash" and the major motion picture "Lavender". His work and adventures have been featured on Buzzfeed, The Weather Channel, Canadian Geographic, CTV News, Petapixel, HGTV and more.
