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.

Little Girl

Gentle eyes that see so much,
Paws that have the quiet touch,

Purrs to signal “all is well”
and show more love than words could tell.

Graceful movements touched with pride,
a calming presence by our side.

A friendship that takes time to grow
Small wonder why we love them so.

Those lovely ladies over at Shutter Sisters served up a second dose of Jamie love today!

Ride

 
This is a special bike that’s not very good at listening to excuses,
so it takes you exactly where you really want to go 
 

 
& if you kick & scream it makes you pedal harder
& go up steeper hills until you’re too out of breath to complain
 

 
& after a while, if you’re lucky,
you start to see that it doesn’t really...
