hey, jordan here!
WHO AM I?
I am a free spirit with a big heart and an open mind and my family means the world to me.
I believe dogs are a (wo)man's best friend - I'm usually hanging out with mine :)
I have a soft spot for a good cup of coffee and am always craving sushi.
When my camera isn't in my hand, it is replaced with a paint brush on canvas or a pen writing poetry.
Traveling and exploring the outdoors make me feel the most alive and documenting those adventures is one of my greatest passions.
WHY CHOOSE ME?
I love creating artful compositions and turning them into photographic memories that will last generations.
I find joy in freeze framing moments in time that showcase raw personality and emotion. There is nothing more important to me than capturing images that reflect who you are and that accurately depict the energy and aesthetic of the time I spend with you.
Does your family love to play football together? Do puzzles? Run around outside? Go on vacations?
I want to document that.
Do you and your significant other love to hike? Surf? Go boating? Let's do it!
I strive to create a photo experience that is natural, fun, and authentic and I aim to camouflage into the environment to capture the laughter, tears, and love that cannot be posed.

experience
I grew up in the Meredith Corporation photo studio. There, my interaction with the camera evolved from modeling, to following my mom around while she art directed photoshoots, to working as a photography assistant on set for multiple publications and brands. I graduated from Grand View University with a bachelor's degree in Studio Arts and focused on both photography and painting while there. After college I continued working freelance at Meredith doing production assisting and photo editing. In my free time I began documenting my travels and booking lifestyle sessions until realize both along with painting were what I wanted to pursue full-time.
