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.

Impossible Things & Breakfast

“There is no use trying” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
 
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
-Lewis Carroll
 

 
I’ve been thinking a lot about creativity...

ALOHA!!

I’mmm baaaaackkk!! Ahh, Maui was exquisite. That’s truly an understatement considering that by day two Steve and I were already making plans to move there. We didn’t do anything touristy except find a different beach to lay out on each day. We swam in the ocean, took long walks on the beach, and didn’t touch...

Kayden | Toddler Photoshoot

Kayden is a year and a half bundle of energy. During our photo-shoot he enjoyed running up and down hills, climbing stairs, playing chase, and cavorting around the playground. His mom, dad and I simply followed him around and attempted to keep him out of the mud. Such a happy boy! Here’s a sneak peak...

Say Something

 
I came to the realization recently that in my efforts to SEE things better (aka photography) I have somehow forgotten how to SAY things. I used to blog everyday and I would almost always write things about my adventures and the like. When did that change? I don’t really know but today I feel like...
