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.

One Hundred

Today is a good day to celebrate. It’s FRIDAY and this is my 100th post. Today I was also officially hired to shoot a wedding on Maui this April. I’m doing a happy dance and pinching myself. Lets have a virtual beer and toast to a good day.

From the Rocks

Do you remember last Fall when all the leaves were falling and Shutter Sisters gave us the photo challenge to shoot from the leaf’s perspective? There were so many cool shots that people came up with and I really fell in love with this shooting style. When I can’t think of anything else to shoot...

Grass: Not Just a Weed

“There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.” -John Calvin

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature...

Seagulls

We live near the water so these gulls are everywhere. At the beach they pose for pictures and let you get close – but not too close.

On the ferry ride home a passenger supplies a feast for these rats with wings. In a moment dozens of them head our way. Swarming and diving towards the deck...
