I don't use OSX but if it has rsync.  The following should copy all
files with extension .jpg or .jpeg from a hierarchy under from-folder/
to a new hierarchy under to-folder/

# rsync -aWmrv --include="**/" --include='*.jpg' --include='*.jpeg'
--exclude='**'  from-folder/  to-folder/

-m should prune empty directories so if that wasn't what you intended
remove it.
