Photography & Designs by J & H

Photography & Designs by J & H A shared adventure by my wife and I! Everything from Portraits to Wall Art, Logos to Invites. We'll even turn your own photos from snapshots to art! I was hooked.

My wife (Heather) and I (J) shoot photos together as a team. I think our different styles and outlook complement each other. I typically let her handle "crowd control" and the more "formal" portraits, while I do more candids, non-typical portraits, and almost all the editing/finishing work. My background is in computer science and fine arts. In the arts, I studied drawing, painting, sculpting, des

ign, and history. I was the typical fine arts snob, looking down my brush at photographers that let the camera do all their work for them. My father-in-law has worked in the photo industry his whole life both in news and university levels. My wife grew up with a camera in her hands, always trailing her daddy. Both of them (and my art teacher as well) were pushing me to take intro to photography. I finally caved and immediately fell in love. I instantly found more enjoyment out of this media than I did the others. I would spend hours in the dark rooms (both safety lit b&w as well as the totally pitch black color), even missing meals without realizing it. I began incorporating what I had learned about composition, color, and style from my fine arts studies into my photo editing process. That was 15 years ago. Now, as the years have gone by and I started playing with digital edititng, I have been encouraged to take things more seriously. This site is a means to show off our work and hopefully gain new customers. We specialize in Portraits and Weddings, but we also have a nice collection of artwork to sell on our website and offer services to edit photos of your own you would like to see finished or stylized. We have found this can be a nice way to supplement my income (IT tech by day...) and be home with my family, as well as work in a field we both love. Who knows what the future holds? One day I might be IT by night.....

My first real "studio" shoot today of the JPI management in one of our work rooms. Been fun stepping out of my comfort zone and experiencing new styles of photography! I was trained as a fine art, existing lighting only photographer and have wanted to learn off camera flash and light arrangements for years. Finally getting to put it to practice. Definitely more to come!
