Portraits

I've always believed that the best photos are those that are hard to look away from. The kind that catch your eye and make you want to study every tiny pixel. And when you think you've seen it all, you have to look back just once more to make sure you didn't miss anything. Those are the kinds of photos I strive to take every single day at J & A Creations. Photos that are engaging, compelling and worthy of displaying proudly in your home.

People are so interesting and I love capturing their spirit; my goal is convey their feelings, thoughts and emotions and preserve them forever in a photograph.

You know what I'm talking about. That twinkle of deep affection in a father's eye when he looks over to his wife holding their first born. The calm serenity that overcomes an expecting woman as she gently touches her swollen belly. The heat between a newly engaged couple who can't seem to stop staring at each other. The commanding presence of a high school senior who's posing with enough confidence for their entire graduating class. Or that ounce of mischief in a brother's sly grin as he looks up at his older sister.

To me, portrait photography is all about capturing emotions, personalities and the dynamics of various relationships. And when I photograph you and your loved ones, that's always my goal. Yes, I've owned many cameras since my first and I've certainly grown as a photographer. And though my cameras have changed and skills have grown, one fact remains a constant: my inherent fascination and appetite for portrait photography. Let me share my passion with you, won't you?

Yours,

JD
