ABOUT THE ARTIST
BEHIND THE LENS
I’m Jared, a Waco family photographer.
I’ve loved photography from my very first exposure, and that love led me to Baylor University, where I received my BFA in Studio Art Photography. After graduation, I immediately began my photography career and have enjoyed every moment working with the families who entrust their memories to me.
When I was a boy, my mom told me that if she had to choose to save one thing from our home, it would be our family photo albums. “They’re the only thing that can’t be replaced,” she said. So I grew up knowing how precious photos are, and that belief has only grown stronger over the years.
I operate from a philosophy that photography is an act of remembrance. When looking at a portrait, you can see not just an expression, but a moment suspended in time. There’s something intensely magical about that. In my work, I chase the perfect combination of light, expression, and feeling, and I combine them to create art that my clients will love and enjoy for generations.
ABOUT THE PROCESS
1. CONSULTATION
The first step is a brief meeting to discuss your vision and my ideas for your session. I’ll bring sample artwork for you to view and we can discuss details like wardrobe and the perfect location for your session.
2. PHOTO SESSION
During our time together, your job is simply to relax and enjoy your family while I photograph a mixture of both candid and posed portraits. I will gently coach you to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident. Sessions are unhurried and fun for the whole family!
3. ORDERING APPOINTMENT
Two weeks after your session, we’ll meet again so you can view your beautiful images and choose how you want to enjoy them in your home. You only purchase what you love!
4. DELIVERY
Your artwork will be hand-delivered to you home or workplace 4-6 weeks after the ordering appointment. In order to help you begin enjoying your artwork immediately, we will even install prints on your wall for you!
