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.

Kathleen

 Every girl…everybody deserves a good photograph of themselves. A picture they’re proud to hang on the wall. A picture they want to send to all their friends. A picture that says, “yeah, that’s me! Aren’t I good lookin’?” I was thrilled when I showed up to this shoot and Kathleen told me that in addition...

TGIF | Let’s Watch a Funky Parade

Whew! We made it. Is anyone else excited as me that it’s finally Friday!? This was a rough week for me. I haven’t been sleeping well, the work is piling up and I nearly had a meltdown over laundry. All I want to do right now is sink into a giant tub of hot water,...

Jeanine’s Family Portraits

You may remember several months ago when I blogged about this hot mama and her little Liam who was still cookin’. Now he’s out and about and growing faster than weeds. It’s so fun to see how much he changes from week to week. Jeanine’s mom was in town so she rounded up her family for...

Cora’s big due date is just one week away! Is it a boy? Is it a girl? We won’t know until the birth day as these new parents are waiting to be surprised! Personally, I love it when couples wait to find out the sex. There’s something exciting about doing it the old fashioned way...
