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.

Smell the Daffodils

 
I love spending Sunday’s with my family. It’s a tradition that we’ve had a hard time keeping up with lately but when we manage to pull it off  we have such a great time together.
 
This Sunday we decided on a last minute outing to La Connor. It’s such a charming town right on the water...

Week Review & Weekend In View

 
Hello friends. Happy Friday to you. This week seemed to go by in a blur but I’m excited to embrace the weekend.
 
On Tuesday I met a brand new baby boy. Our lovely neighbor delivered a healthy 10lb baby after a very long, very hard labor. It was so exciting meeting him at the hospital and...

Family Portraits | Geyer Family Part II

Here’s round two of Kirsten’s family portraits! 
 

 
Coen was getting a little bored with us so I had to work quick and get creative.
 

 
I really can’t remember what was so funny but I think it may have had something to do with boogers.
 

 
Can you feel the full body laughter!? Seeing this shot absolutely made my day!

Family Portraits | Geyer Family

The weather finally cooperated this weekend and I was able to meet up with the fabulous, fun Geyer family in Georgetown for family portraits! They are so easy going, easy to work with and easily amused. That was great news for me since taking pictures of a photographer’s family can be a bit intimidating.

Sing It With Me Now…

Mr. Banks:
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You’re a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
 
Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where...
