Jamie Neilsen Photography: The Blog bio picture

Hi, I'm Jamie!

I know you have a choice.  There are a lot of photographers out there – which is a great thing because it keeps pushing me to be better than ever. When you choose me to be your photographer, I do a little happy dance and then I get right to work on creating the perfect portrait experience for you. While my craft is closely tied to gear and gadgets, I know that you are a person and you deserve a personal experience.

I promise to not only take “pretty pictures” but to take pictures that make your heart swell and your toes curl.

I promise to let you be you and photograph what comes naturally.

I promise to be silly, have fun and make you laugh out loud.

I promise to provide plenty of options and guidance so you get exactly what you’re looking for…and then add a cherry on top that you didn’t even ask for.

I promise to deliver high quality heirloom photographs that you can’t wait to hang on your walls…big.

And when it’s all said and done…

I promise to stay in touch well after your session because I value our relationship.

I’m Jamie Neilsen and I’d be honored to be your photographer.

Wanna know more?

I didn’t find photography. Photography found me.
Chewy chocolate brownies are my weakness. No nuts. No frosting.
My husband is my jeweler, personal chef and best friend.
I have nearly a dozen brothers and sisters.
I’m not a morning person.
I adore all things Italian – especially red wine and rich food.
I’m a PC by day and a Mac by night.
I don’t own a TV.
I’d rather dress up than wear jeans and a t-shirt.
I am a lifestyle and portrait photographer.

Thank You.

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” – Buddha 

It’s Thanksgiving so naturally I’m reflecting on all that I’m thankful for. But as I sit here to write this I find myself with more and more questions. Should I write them all down? Should I make a list? How long should the list be? If I only say 10 things will someone think that’s not enough? If I write 20 things will anyone actually read it? If I say the same old cliche things does it mean anything less?

No.

Thankfully, I’m thankful everyday. I thank my baristas for every cup. I thank the bus driver that gets me there. I thank the server that brings my food. I thank my boss and all my co-workers. I thank my husband and family and friends. I thank the guy that lets me go first. I thank the gal who gave me a compliment. I thank my bloggy friends and flickr friends and myspace friends.

I thank you all for all that you’ve done and all that you’ll do.

Thank you! Every day.
