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.

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...

Karen & Nate | Expecting

We were down to the wire when I shot Karen’s maternity pictures last Saturday. Her due date was Wednesday and her sweet baby girl arrived right on time! I can’t wait to take pictures of her newborn angel next week.
 
I absolutely love this couple. They’re the kind of people who seem so down to earth...

Shauna & James | Maternity Photoshoot

 Shauna, pregnancy looks good on you! When she showed up at the park for her session with a bag full of outfit changes and her smiling husband I knew we were going to have a good time. They even brought their awesome dog, Red, to be in some of the pictures.

Maternity Photoshoot

This weekend I had lots of plans for picture taking. I was really looking forward to a family photo-shoot with Kirsten but it snowed then rained and when the sun finally did peek out late in the afternoon the wind gusts were frigid and strong. This also kept me from attending the St. Patrick’s Day...

The Glow

I’m so excited to spend time with this glowing mommy next week for her maternity shoot. Baby Liam isn’t due for another month but he sure is getting excited to meet everyone.

The room was filled with warmth and elation during her shower. You could feel the intensity of affection bouncing off the walls as friends...
