about me

Hi, I'm Jamie

welcome to jamie v photography

With over a decade of experience and photographing professionally since 2011, my journey began with the drive to capture the images and feel of people, experiences, and landscapes. I am now living my dream, capturing beautiful relationships and locations. 

I was raised on a farm and spent much of my time outdoors. My favorite childhood memories are of family road trips, riding my banana-seat Huffy bike, and playing in our tree house in the woods. Indoors, I read book after book and covered my bedroom walls with magazine-page collages.

The loss of my Dad underscored for me the importance of capturing the people and places that you love now - as the photographs and memories are what remain to remind us how we felt. It is my daily intention to be grateful for every moment and follow the things that bring me joy and curiosity in this beautiful life. 

Known for being optimistic and collaborative, my intention and focus is to bring your photography vision to light.

inspired by love, nature, and travel, I document the beautiful things in life.
