I'm JAMIE.
I have always been fascinated with portraits people. When I was a little, I would comb through books, magazines, and family photo albums for hours looking at pictures. The closer I could see them, the better. People and their idiosyncrasies intrigue me. It's a gift to me to be able to have someone sit or stand or jump in front of me while situated in the most exquisite lighting and to press the shutter button, saving that moment in time.
I've tried for the life of me to convey what sets me apart from other photographers and the answer isn't me, it's you. My clients are my muse. Your uniqueness and movements are what set me apart from other photographers. You are my difference.
Fine Art, luxury, timeless, high end, bold, authentic, quirky- those are the feelings in my work. Whether it's corraling four rambunctious brothers in a field or situating a chic couple eating pizza on the lobby floor of a most luxurious hotel, I'm capturing moments for you.
Thank you for trusting me.
Little crumbs: Houston, TX is home. I love my family. My husband Myrick is my knight in shining armor. Adrian and Bailey are my greatest gifts. Georgiana Darling, our Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier brings me much joy. Her fur comforts me and reminds me of a vintage teddy bear from 1973. They say my home looks like a museum because it's filled with crystal chandeliers, a taxidermy zebra mount, and a vintage 1960's pink sofa. I adore everything opulent.
FELIS LEOPARDUS
At first I didn't want a picture accompanying my logo. I changed my mind. Why the leopardess? Her prowess, keen eye, and hunting qualities represent me as a photographer. I'm constantly hunting the best locations, lighting, and angles for each photo. Quietly and at the speed of light, I study the surroundings for the perfect kill/outcome of the image. Rather than finding a ravishingly sultry cat portrait, I rather like this one. She is perfectly imperfect, a little quirky, and she can't change her spots. It is in her unique plan to serenely flow with them, make the best of them, and enjoy each distinct one along the way. Aren't we all in the process of gifting one another with our distinctness?
