“Dear Diary, you have no idea, this is the life and times of J.Pace. Freelance artist and photographer.”

A little Artist Interview with J.Pace on the way to a shoot as well as some behind the scenes with J.Pace Photography during a on location boudoir shoot.

I go by J.Pace, but you are welcome to call me Jennifer.

I am a freelance artist and photographer. My first camera was a disposable my mom got me for a family vacation when I was 5, then every vacation and field trip after until I got my hands on a Minolta SRT 101 (35mm) when I was eleven. I took my first darkroom class at thirteen and it was love at first print. I have a background in film photography and it’s my preference but I also enjoy digital and either can be chosen or a mix like adding 1 roll of film to your digital session. *Full film shoots have a longer turnaround time as we have to process and scan your art.*

It's been a whirlwind love affair with photography, getting my A.A in Fine Art Photography at Shoreline C.C then moving to Oakland, California in the summer of 2013 to pursue my B.A in F.A.P. I attended the California College of Art, graduated in May of 2016, and spent a bit of time in Portland, OR before making my way back home to Seattle where I currently live as of 2017.

I love photography and have difficulty being a niche photographer as I want to take ALL THE PHOTOS and don’t want to limit my creativity. I consider myself a portrait photographer, obsessed with boudoir and fine art. That is what I shoot the most during my personal art time. I love, love working with couples from boudoir to engagements and weddings, being honored to shoot motherhood and family. I have worked for a few local vintage and clothing stores shooting clothing, products, and content for their website and social media. I’ve done work with a few of the restaurants I’ve worked at over the years as having social media content and nice photos became more normalized. I worked with a dance fitness pole studio and an adult sports league taking photos when I lived in San Fran so my photo skill set is vast. I love what I call “a creative/photo challenge” aka you telling me your wildest photo dreams and we make it happen!

I also believe that all the genres of photography tie together and pull from each other: portraits, boudoir, fine art, food, products, fashion, events, weddings, etc. I always feel very honored when booked for whatever shoot or project and pour my creative heart into each endeavor. I want each shoot to be a unique experience for everyone involved and for the experience to be remembered as much if not more than the photos! I want you to leave feeling that photo shoots are fun, creative experiences! That they are a space to bring your creative ideas to life, capture those special moments, create space for you to explore new sides of yourself, to help you have the best photos of yourself, a life milestone or a project you're working on. These photos are for YOU! There will also be lots of laughter, jokes, life talks, and connecting as humans along the way. There is nothing more meaningful to me than connecting with you and making art.

I am here to be your creative photo bestie! Tell me what you NEED!
