Hi, I'm Jason
Are you looking for a family portrait photographer in Southeast Michigan? You've come to the right place!
I help families, couples, and people of all different types create photographs worthy of being passed from generation to generation. My ultimate goal is to help create a collection of wonderful images to remind you and yours of the here and now.
Want to make some heirlooms, mementos, and treasures together?
You deserve beautiful, timeless photography worthy of passing down to the next generation
It's tough when special times with your family fade away. Sometimes, even the strongest of memories get hazy. Without something solid to hold onto, it feels like parts of your story just slip through your fingers.
I'm here to help. Together, we'll create photographs that let you touch, feel, and relive those times. We'll make simple, clear portraits that show your family's true self. These will be pictures you can keep close, share, and pass down. Let's make memories that last forever.
Do you want see how we can create some lasting photographs and immortalize the here and now of your family story?
I have a feeling this is what you need in a photographer...
You and your family should be top of mind
Family first, clients second, everything else follows in my book. Communication will be swift, you'll get 100% of my effort, and I'll do everything I can to make sure you're happy with what I provide.
Your photos should make you and your family feel great, beautiful, and happy
My goal is to get the authentic you through good posing and composition - not repainting you in post-processing. I'm a firm believer that what we may perceive as flaws are a vital slice of what makes the whole 'you', and we're more beautiful for them!
You need to feel at ease during your session
You should feel comfortable and confident when in front of my camera, and the environment we make pictures in should help encourage that. We can shoot in your home, my home, your favorite downtown spot, the park, or wherever else you feel you "fit".
You shouldn't have to wait forever to see the results
The longest you'll wait for your first look of the finished product is two weeks from your photoshoot and my goal is always to deliver in half that time. To make you wait longer would be the worst!
...and my clients say I fit the bill!
"I didn't know what to expect in a photo session but I was extremely satisfied with Jason. My family was very comfortable with Jason and during the session he made sure to engage everyone and be very willing to "ride the wave" of normal family shenanigans."
-Darius F.
"Jason made my family feel completely comfortable and included our girls in the process. Letting them ask all the questions! He let them check out all the equipment before using it. Which made them feel super included in the process. He answered their questions and just let them be their silly selves."
-Andrea K.
I would love to work with you, too!
Let's get in touch and see what we can create together.
Here's what I deliver
Personalized consultation to nail down every detail
A phone call, video chat, coffee date, or home meetup; whatever you're comfortable with, we'll talk through every nuance of our session together.
Light and natural editing on every delivered photo
Each photo you get will be edited to my natural style, while also ensuring that any temporary blemishes never see the light of day.
An online gallery with all the bells and whistles
Every session gets its very own home on the web that serves as the go-to source for delivery of your brand new photographs.
A starter print credit, every time
You'll receive a print credit right off the bat, so you can grab a couple of wallets or a 5x7 if you want them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How come you don't have a dedicated studio?
I really like the idea of being mobile with my photography. I want to be able to capture what you need in almost any place, whether that be your home, your office, the park, or some local parking lot. I want to photograph you where you want to be. I can always convert my living room into a make-shift studio or rent a space if needed for a specific project with those types of demands.
I really just came here to find your prices, where can I find them?
Pricing for my family photography sessions can be found on the The Photography Experience page.
I'm open to other types of photography as well. It really is best to schedule a call and I'd be happy to spend some time learning about what you need. I'd have a better idea of the costs from there!
Do you do weddings, events, or boudoir?
Though I feel these are things I could do creatively, my focus is much more on "traditional" and "lifestyle" portraiture. Events are very grand and important; the photographer you choose to capture your wedding, 50th birthday, or Quinceañera should really be focused on making that their expertise. And boudoir photography is much the same; with increased vulnerability, care, and equipment/space required. Again, I would encourage you to find a specialist to ensure your photoshoot results are perfect.
I would however, be happy to provide consultation in picking your wedding/event/boudoir photographer should you need the help!
I'm looking for prints with my photoshoot, is that something you offer?
Creating lasting heirlooms, mementos, and generational gifts is exactly where my photographic passions live. I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with every photograph I create that doesn't get the chance to live on in print. If you're interested in creating some wonderful photographs to print for your wall, we should schedule time to chat about it!
Like what you've seen? Why don't we connect and think of what we can create?
No pressure, no obligations. I can answer any questions you might still have and get the ball rolling on a session if you become ready!
