Portrait
Step Into the Spotlight
When it comes to portraiture, my job as a photographer is never simply to just shoot.
My job is first and foremost, to make you feel confident, comfortable, and seen. Whether you’re a client, an experienced model, an expecting mom, or an artist, my passion is to create a safe, judgement-free zone where you can put your absolute best self forward. I'm here to create an environment where you are free to express your most authentic self.
"I'm not sure how to pose. I'm awkward in front of the camera. I don't know what to do with my hands." Leave it up to me.
"I don't know what look will work best for me." I've got this.
I’m here to guide you every step of the way with pristine focus on capturing your essence, because portraits should reflect who you are, not who you think you’re supposed to be. Let's show the world the authentic, real YOU.

Client Testimonials
Jason made our maternity shoot easy and comfortable. He communicated beforehand about desired colors, themes, clothes, poses, etc so day-of there wasn’t wasted time. He even came prepared with toys/distractions for our toddler!
Jason has an excellent eye and always works hard to bring my vision to life. He has the skill and patience to capture the essence of my music in a photo or video, all while staying laid back and making the experience fun. Highly recommend!
Jason was amazing to work with. He took our son's fall baseball pictures and did an amazing job. He not only listened to my son's ideas, he also had an attention to detail that was unmatched in previous baseball photo experiences we've had. We're definitely going to continue using him for our sports photos, we're working on booking something for spring soccer and baseball already.
I reached out to Jason just two weeks before giving birth to my son, and thankfully he was able to fit us in! He perfectly recreated my inspiration photos while keeping the look authentic to me, and I even got my pictures back before the baby arrived!
Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with during our photoshoot for our alt-rock/metal band, The Estes Method. From the start, he communicated clearly and collaborated with us on ideas to bring our vision to life.
He created two distinct setups that perfectly captured the essence and style of our band. Throughout the shoot, Jason made the experience comfortable, relaxed, and fun, which helped us feel confident in front of the camera.
We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Jason to any band or artist looking for high-quality promotional photos.
Highly recommend Jason if you’re getting headshots for the first time or just need updated ones!
Jason did headshots for my husband and I, we had such a great experience. Booking was easy, the session felt relaxed and professional, Jason was also great at making it comfortable to ask for lighting or pose adjustments and even had someone assisting who helped coach us on angles while he captured the shots, she was super sweet.
It was my first time getting headshots and I was a little nervous, but he made the whole process enjoyable. Being able to review the photos before leaving was a huge bonus. Thank you so much, you did such an amazing job!
