JAPphotog

Hello and Welcome! I'm an average guy with a penchant for beauty all around me, whether it be a flower, a sunset, a jumping spider, my own children or my clients.
​
​I recall from my earliest memories my grandfather and my Dad both constantly taking pictures of my brother and I. I'm 37 and realizing the importance they felt to capture those life moments. More recently, I lost my Dad to stage 4 pancreatic cancer (Feb 2017) and it hit me more that as I looked through tons of old albums of pictures the comfort and familiarity I gained from holding and seeing those pictures in my hands.

I decided that I wanted help people remember those moments and tell their stories and immortalize them forever.

Many have inquired about the meaning behind my logo and especially the significance of the butterfly. You see a when a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly everyone looks at the butterfly as special and beautiful. The beautiful butterfly was always in the caterpillar but after emerging from its cocoon it's revealed... That's what i want to do for my clients.
I am not into heavy photoshopping of my clients, I simply want to reveal what is already there and capture them after their "coccoon emerging" moment.

I do business differently. I enjoy getting to know my clients so that I can create and execute an experience personalized to their specific needs. This enables me to create images in a way that best meets their needs and expectations.
