Hi, I’m Jamie!

Your brand is your story, and every story deserves to be told with confidence.

As a photographer, I don't just capture moments—I help you elevate your image, boost your brand, and make an unforgettable impression. Whether you're looking to revitalize your professional headshot, showcase your business, or celebrate a personal milestone, I’m here to create images that speak to who you truly are.

Hi, I'm Jamie, a passionate photographer based in Traverse City, Michigan, with a focus on helping individuals and businesses shine through professional headshots, branding sessions, and portraits. I believe that photography is more than just capturing an image—it’s about telling a story, building confidence, and creating meaningful connections.

As the owner of Crackerjack Photography Studio, I specialize in creating personalized photography experiences that not only produce stunning results but also make my clients feel valued and seen. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to elevate your personal brand, a business professional in need of a fresh, impactful headshot, or someone seeking a portrait to celebrate a special moment in life, I’m here to bring your vision to life.

My Approach

My work is centered around collaboration and connection. I take the time to truly understand my clients—what drives them, their passions, and how they want to be seen by the world. It’s this dedication to detail that allows me to capture authentic, memorable images that resonate with their audience.

I’m more than just a photographer—I’m your partner in crafting a visual story that aligns with your personal or business brand. From the initial consultation through the final images, I provide a seamless, experience that results in stunning portraits or headshots you’ll be proud to share.

Committed to Community

Being rooted in Traverse City, I’m deeply connected to this incredible community. It’s important to me to give back and be involved. I volunteer as a Traverse Connect Ambassador which allows me to continually build relationships with local businesses and individuals.

My photography studio, Studio North Collective, is open to the public to rent for gatherings, workshops, classes, meetings, etc. Nothing brings me more joy, than seeing a local group using the studio to build community and share knowledge and inspiration. It’s been said to be a space where creativity and connection are palpable. I feel honored knowing that my studio plays a small role in fostering community and supporting others' passions.

I’ve always believed that community and connection go hand in hand. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to making people feel seen and celebrated through photography. When you work with me, it’s not just about the photos—it’s about celebrating what makes you unique, creating memories, and forging lasting connections.

Let’s work together to create images that elevate your brand and tell your story.
