Meet the Photographer

My name is Jackie, and I am the proud owner of JE Images. Photography is a true passion of mine that started when I was young.  I remember going to school with a disposable camera and taking photos of my friends and me.  I would fill up the film inside with fun, unseen photos and would go and get them developed.  As I grew up, life started to happen, and I found that I was missing in so many photos because I was the only one taking them.  Even worse, most of what I have are pixelated photos from my previous phones and poorly cropped images taken by others. This is why I created JE Images, so I can help others be included in on their beautiful moments.

What is my approach???

There are two important subjects when it comes to photography.


Artistic Approach 

Some photos may be candid, while others are posed. A clean background is essential to avoid clutter. I want to hear your thoughts and share my artistic ideas to create something unique with you. Sometimes, I also enjoy elevating my work by hosting mini-sessions with specific backdrops and props for a limited number of clients. 


Quality

Imagine taking a photo with your phone. Do you at this moment understand what created that photo? Why it is blurry when you are moving around. Do you know how to make specific parts of the photo blurry (also known as bokeh), like the background in the photo you see here? How do you make a group of people stand out in a busy-looking environment? The good thing is you don't have to know the answers, but that is why I would have a professional photographer take my photos. A professional will know how to manipulate the camera to get nice crisp photos of you and your loved ones so you can put them on the wall and cherish them. The best part? These photos will be eye-catching to your friends and family members who you invite into your home.

So, what would it be like to work with us?

The initial conversation and booking.

  1. It will be simple because we all have too many stressors these days. All you need to do is go to my home page at www.JEimages.com and choose a gallery that best describes what you are looking for.
  2. Then click on the link to get the conversation started
  3. Choose your date and time, fill in the basic contact info, and hit submit.
  4. We will reach out to you in the way you requested within 24-48 hrs, and we can get to planning your perfect experience together.

On the day of the photo session:

  1. On the date that the scheduled appointment arrives I will send a reminder email 24-48 hrs prior. We will complete the session as agreed on originally. 
  2. I will advise on poses and hand arrangements during the session and will also work towards candid photos as well. 
  3. I want you to be relaxed and enjoy the photography session because that's the secret of obtaining nice and natural smile(s).




After the photo session:

  1. My typical turnaround for photos is 2-4 weeks, depending on the season we are in. I'll get to work on fixing the color, cropping, and basic editing to create my signature look.
  2. After I am done with editing, I will provide you a gallery link via text or social media messaging.
  3. I can make special edits for an additional cost; please let me know what you're thinking so I can provide you with options. Keep in mind that sometimes, these special edits might take some time to complete.
