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.

One year later, they asked me to be their photographer and we laughed and played and chased that cute little boy up and down the lawn all in the name of family photos. Friends,...

Meehan Family | Portraits at Home

Last week, I got to hang out with the Meehan Family…twice! On my first visit to the Meehan home I got to hang out with Big Sis while Mommy tried to soothe an angry Little Brother. Big Sis showed me all the fun toys in her room and the great view she has from her...

Shoultz Family | Portraits at the Beach

Working with large groups can be a challenge. I remember my days working for a portrait studio where no one wanted to get stuck with a big family. It’s one thing to try and get a three year old to look at you and smile. It’s another thing to get a three year old, two five...

Baby Will | Newborn & Family Portraits

If you were to ask me what it’s like to be an on location family photographer, I’d tell you it’s a lot like being invited to a party and peeking in the host’s medicine cabinet…but a lot less creepy. I get invited into homes of people I’ve just met. I kick off my shoes and...

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...
