I'm meticulous.
I'm genuine & honest.
& I've been doing this a while.
​
If you made it to this page, sup? I'm Jared and I've done all kinds of crazy things in my years. I've been a pizza delivery boy, an uncle to 11 nieces and nephews, the singer in a punk band, a weekly church-goer, a record store manager, and so much more. However, the one thing that has been consistent throughout my whole life is photography. I'm 32, and some of my oldest (and fondest) memories include cameras. I was that kid in middle and high school who always had a point-and-shoot camera on him, capturing nothing and everything all at once.
​
What started as a hobby even before I was in double digits transformed into a desire for a real career in the entertainment industry. After high school, I went to college for Film Production. Before, during, and after that time, I put out lots of content including music videos, short films, and a feature-length documentary, all while building my portfolio through freelance photography. After graduating college, I started working full-time as a commercial photographer.
​
Today, I am the marketing manager at a company in Cleveland, OH and for the past decade, have held different roles in the digital marketing space. My love for photography hasn't faded and I continue to capture moments in time to preserve my own memories and those of people I meet along my journey.
Photography isn't something I picked up as a side hustle and I will never slap a filter or pre-set on any image I capture. Sorry, grass is green not teal. I pour my heart and soul into everything I do and truly care about delivering quality, timeless photos. In that, I have my own style and am not out here chasing trends. The photos you see on this website should give you a good idea of my work.
Outside of photography, I enjoy taking road trips with my beautiful wife, baking, cooking, catching live music, hiking, kayaking, working in the yard, collecting vinyl (and plenty of other junk), hanging out with friends and family, and eating.
For fun, below are some 'me' photos; random images I captured to preserve a sight, feeling, or moment in time that I don't ever want to forget.
