Cure for the Common School Portrait • Summer Schedule & More...

Parents, friends....

We no longer have to settle for the bland, unexciting portraits of our kids.  Studio chains, mass-producing school portrait companies....I call them "assembly-line pictures".

I got into this business to change that!  It doesn't have to be that way.
There's no better time than the warm summer months to capture the spirit of your children at this age.

After the past couple of years I've really come to enjoy it.  The exciting part is creating something for someone that's like nothing else.  Truly unique. It's a beautiful thing!


Here's a link to my calendar for the next couple of months.
















One of the Moms I worked with last year put it best, saying "I want someone to walk in my home, point to the wall and say 'Wow, who took that?!'"  Time for a family photo update?



As for older kids, we can do that too!  I've been privileged to work with quite a few high school seniors over the past year.   Stepping beyond the limits of the studios,  these aren't your cookie-cutter yearbook mug shots!



Here's just a peek at what I've been up to so far this year....


Thanks to everyone for your support in the past.  Please feel free to contact me at any time!

A Bouncing Baby.....

...Boy!


Now if I was forced to choose an area to 'specialize' in as far as photography goes, up until about a week ago I sure would not have said that babies are it.  But this little guy made me think twice about that.  He was super easy (thanks to his Mom....she's a pro!).  It was fun! Have a look...

Adios Winter! • Edwardsville Photography

Spring Photography is in full swing!



Haven't heard from me lately? View my updated portfolios! 



I know many will agree with me when I say that I sure am glad it's finally warm enough most days for the kids to get outside.  This winter has been just way too long!  Hopefully, we can get some photos of our girls done soon.

I'm also looking forward to photographing some new and "old faithful" families this year.  To those who I have had the opportunity to create memories for, I cannot thank you enough.  I wouldn't be here without you.  I hope to see you again this year.  For you and all others, I'd like to let you know about some dates I have set aside  for taking photos this year.

These dates are subject to change.  Please check back as I will update daily.  Since these are the only dates I will be working with, I will do multiple sessions on each day.  Don't hesitate to email me with the day that works best for you!  All sessions are done 4pm and later.  Pricing


Email works best for setting up appointments.  You can reach me at jgpix@hotmail.com or through the contact page on my website.  Thanks for taking a moment to check in with me; I hope to hear from you soon!!
