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.

The Waiting Game & Graduating

 
“Waiting for a train to go.
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
“Everyone is just waiting.”
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting...

Gimley | West Highland Terrier

He’s a lover. He’s a snuggler. He’s Gimley the lap dog! This is my friend Johanna’s son pup. At two years old he was rescued from the pound and off to his third and final home. He has the sweetest eyes and coolest temperament. It’s baffling why his last two homes didn’t want him. Isn’t he...

Sydney | One Week

My world is full of boys and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen or held a baby girl. I was thrilled to meet little Sydney just ten days after photographing her mama’s maternity session. She was wide awake for most of the shoot despite desperate attempts by mom, dad and grandma to lull...

Weekend Travels | Spring Fair

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I spent mine in Denver visiting one of my best girlfriends. We drank margaritas, went on walks with her adorable dog Gimley, ate mouth watering veg food at WaterCourse downtown, and rewatched most of season five of Sex and the City.
 
I’ll share pictures of Gimley later...
