HI, I'M JERED!

My Photography Style

I am lovingly aggressive. In order to get the unique and deeply personal photographs that will elicit the emotions you had the day it was taken, I am unafraid of getting close during a tender moment--a father giving the groom a proud hug on his wedding day, a child wrapping her arms around mother's neck, or a gentle kiss placed on a newborn's feet. While I will give you space to revel in a moment without a camera next to you, it is important to know that I am an involved photographer.  

Everyone deserves to feel seen, loved, and beautiful. I want to help you look and feel your best. I believe an image not only encapsulates a moment, but the feelings you had when a photo was taken. I ensure that every member of your family--whether at a family portrait or a wedding--is given respect and attention. I also make it a priority to capture as many guests as possible in a wedding or event so that your loved ones are memorialized and no one feels left out. 

My photos are Bright and Moody. I love photos that are bright and well-lit and have dark and rich colors. My colors are "true to life" with a hint of warmth. I prioritize sharp images with clean lines. I seek after natural light and locations that cast dramatic shadows. Be warned--I get excited when I find perfect lighting!

A Little About Me!

A few of my favorite things!:

  • Hot chocolate and Korean food!

  • Stories! From web comics to fantasy and mystery novels.

  • Service! It's my love language. I love to be helpful to others however I can.

Things I can't live without!:

  • My family, friends, and faith in Christ.

  • Our robot vacuum. It's been seriously life-changing.

  • Traveling and exploring! I have my family's next vacations planned for the next 10 years.

About: About

Outside of photography, I work as a Data Architect for HCA Healthcare. My job is a beautiful blend of the technicalities of coding and computers and the artistry of design. This is the exact career that I hoped I would find after graduating college.

After work and putting the baby to bed, if there aren't photos to edit or dishes to clean, I can usually be found writing  my work-in-progress novel or reading a romantic web comic.

My gratitude for the blessed life I have has no end. I have a supportive husband, a beautiful baby girl, the most adorable dog in the world, close friends that love me, a meaningful career with people I love working with, and a business where I get to serve and produce something that is cherished and loved for generations to come. 

Because I have been given much, I feel the intense desire to give to others. I look forward to serving you and your loved ones!
