My name is Jesilyn, and I am the proud owner of Whitetail Collections.

I am also a mom to three young children and have the incredible support of my husband, Tim, who has always been my biggest cheerleader. The journey of Whitetail Collections began one Christmas when my mother-in-law gifted me a DIY candle making kit. Little did I know that this simple gift would ignite my passion for the art of candle making. As I delved deeper into the craft, I became fascinated by the science and research behind creating perfect candles. What started as a hobby quickly grew into something more. I started making candles for myself, then for friends, and eventually decided to showcase them in the small boutique I owned at the time. To my delight, these candles became our hottest-selling items. It was then that I made the heartfelt decision to close the boutique side of my business and fully pursue the world of candle making. With immense gratitude and the unwavering support of all of you, our candles have propelled us to tremendous growth. The fulfillment I feel from crafting beautiful, high-quality candles and the joy and warmth they bring to your homes is beyond words. Each and every day, I am thankful for the opportunity to do what I love and share it with you. So, thank you for being a part of the Whitetail Collections story. Your support and enthusiasm keep me inspired, and I am forever grateful to have you as part of our candle-loving community.


With much love and a grateful heart,

Jesilyn
